If he was good he wouldn’t be here for his 5th year. Hth.
He's not an NFL player. He's the most proven RB on the roster and produced when given the opportunity. There's a difference. HTH
What's not to like about him? he has tools, runs hard, has instincts, hasn't bitched about his role and works hard. He could have portaled and gone to a non Power-5 school for a bigger role but stayed to contribute and finish what he started.
If he has an amazing year and happens to play his way into the draft conversation, he won't sit out the bowl game.
I LIKE Sean McGrew and you should, too.
He’s fine but we’re not winning a NY6 without an NFL guy at RB especially with how much we want to run the ball.

Disagree. Washington's biggest bowl wins were all with solid but not great RBs. 1984 Orange Bowl (J. Robinson) 1992 Rose Bowl (Barry and Bryant) 2001 Rose Bowl (Rich Alexis and Willie Hurst) Total NFL carries for this group: 0.
Defense. OL and a quality mobile QB win championships. The best RBs in Washington history (Kaufman, Dillon, and Gaskin) never won a NY6.
If you want to say UW can and should do better in RB recruiting, fine, I'll buy that. The topic is who is the best RB on the roster and we've already established its McGrew.

Gaskin stayed all 4 years.
There are lots of good players at the college level who won't make the cut at the NFL and stay 4-5 years. That's probably half of our roster every year.

NFL heads like Fudgie loose the college football focus here. College players win college games. Three of the biggest CFB winner QBs of the last decade or two—Colt McCoy, Kellen Moore, Vince Young, Tebow (ok that's four)—did jackshit in NFL. That's a NFL problem, not a CFB problem. And Gaskin is another great example. Dude won college games.

It’s different at quarterback. Gaskin is a good nfl player btw hth.
I like this kid as an athlete. I am not sure I like him at tailback. And he is committed to a school that doesn’t run the damn ball. Either way it will be I retesting.
I think they're going to be a lot more balanced as Leach's players graduate out.
They are incredibly dumb if they don’t use Borghi heavily. PGOS and I have been on the Borghi bandwagon for years.
He’s really good tho. I saw him truck Hufunga from USC a few years ago. He should and would be an All Conference RB if they actually use him.
I remember when we were making fun of the cougs for taking a white RB, but the kid can play and catch extremely well out of the backfield. I think he will make an NFL roster one day
McGrew would actually thrive at WSU.
He wouldn’t see the field.
He's a good little scatback with good hands. He would pick up a lot of yards on draw plays and check down screens. More space for him to maneuver. He is ill fitted to what UW has been doing.
He honestly just kinda sucks.
Another shit take.
McGrew has averaged 5.8 ypc on 98 attempts the past two years. He produces when he plays. He's no pussy, getting most of his yards inside the tackles. You don't see him dance around for 1yd. He's plant and go. He should get the majority of the carries until he proves he can't. ( He won't.)
Cam Davis: 4.3 ypc avg on 17 attempts. He hasn't done shit. A 4-star TBS special, so of course he's better. Maybe he is but i'll wait until I see it before I crown him.
Im not sucking off Davis? I think he could be good. I don’t think we’re beating anyone good with a midget that runs 4.6 getting a decent amount of carries.
There you go again.
McGrew ran a 4.38 at the Nike opening, 4.49 at the most recent combine and a 4.03 Pro agility, tops among the RBs
He ran a 10.56 100 at the California HS State Track Championship, good enough for 2nd place.
He's not slow.
He gets caught from behind quite a bit. When he committed, I thought he would be a home run threat. He’s not.

There's being caught from behind and there is being caught from the angle. I haven't seen McGrew caught from behind once where he had a clear lane and the secondary player didn't have an angle. Ahmed was a home threat but what did he break? 2 long runs in his career? (SC is one) When you run between the tackles you have to get through traffic which slows you down. McGrew isn't going to dance and wait for the homerun, he's going to get his yards getting through the hole and finding the second level. He's not doing it on toss sweeps it's between the tackles.
Very rare for a running back to rip off a homerun unless it's a well blocked wide sweep or the defenders completely whiff inside (rare)
He ranks well among Pac 12 rushers. His longest run is only 27 yards which makes his average that more impressive. He doesn't have an 80 yard run inflate his average. Scheme has a lot to do with explosiveness. TBS Darling Austin Jones has one of the lower AYPC. 5 star Stephen Carr is near the bottom.
McGrew lead the conference in TD per rush @ 10%. That's a homerun threat, even if in the red-zone
Most here hated Ahmed's 19 season. He danced, he pussed, too many no gain plays but the overall numbers were impressive, Strip out his 89 yard TD against USC and his per carry average drops to 4.96, almost a half-yard difference. McGrew's best games and biggest plays have come when he has had the most carries.
Chris Carson is considered explosive and is among NFL leaders in percentage of rushes over 10 yards. He also runs a 4.6+ which caused him to drop. He gets caught from behind but gets the long rushes because he explodes through the hole and gets to the second level. He rarely is stopped for a loss or no gain.
Reggie Bush had a middling NFL career because he couldn't run inside.
I think people are chasing the dragon a bit because of Myles Gaskin. We were spoiled having him for 4 years, and people like Fudgie really want one of the 47 RBs on the roster to break away from the pack and be the next Gaskin. So Fudgie is putting down McGrew, who’s a genuinely good but not elite player, because we already know he isn’t ever going to be Gaskin. Then he can Doog it up about the unproven RBs because there’s a small chance that they could be a diamond in the rough.
I agree that’s it’s frustrating to give a ton of carries to McGrew/Pleasant/Newton when the younger guys like Cam Davis have shown occasional flashes. But those established guys are still solid players, and the likelihood is that the young guys aren’t going any better than them. If they were, then they’d be getting a ton of carries over established guys like Gaskin did early on.
Blame KB for missing on all the big time RB recruits, but I don’t think he plays objectively worse players just because they’ve been around longer.

McGrew will be part of the RB solution this year
He will have moments where we are going to be damn happy to have him
