The college game is filled with RB's who don't need to be "used correctly" but can simply make plays against the generally diluted quality of defensive players relative to that seen in the NFL.

Also, you can't be an RB who just runs "outside zone," you have to be able to go between the tackles, pass protect, and catch the ball. This is not an endorsement of CP's stupid offense, just an observation of football generally, and Salvon often struggled in those facets.
I'm glad for Ahmed but the tape doesn't lie, he missed a ton of holes at UW, had some good runs, and great games, but he just wasn't as good as Polk, Sankey, or Gaskin.
The NFL doesn't really run "feature backs" that much anymore, which will suit Salvon's style just fine. He has the quickness and burst to be a solid rotation player and will have some good days. -
Apparently, they do. Maybe he's so scared now that it makes him get his ass in gear a little quicker than he did in Pac 12 play.backthepack said:

If he makes a career as an established running back, I will be shocked.Kingdome_Urinals said:

Nobody hates him. The case has been laid out. BtP never backs down, which he learned from his Daddy Ballz. It was so impossible for him at Washington because Pete and O line, and yet Myles Gaskin, who's smaller and slower top end, and at best as quick, had 4 1,000 yard seasons, didn't go down on first contact, and was money in critical down and distance.
If you have high standards, that's what you call a good back.
If you have low standards, you call what Ahmed did at Washington elite.
That simple. -
I hated Ahmed when he was here. Don’t care what he does in the NFL
I hate this thread most though -
His offensive sucked, his coaches sucked, play calling sucked. Not one offensive player got better. They all regressed over time.Sources said:Pete’s offense sucked. HTH

Ahmed hasn’t run soft in the NFL. He looks really good.
