    @Beno4Life @RoadDawg55 so what is your take on the running back situation... Davis is fast, fluid and has great hands... is he our starter or do we have the 5 headed beast again with no clear route to continuity...

    Not those guys but it's pretty likely going to be another 4 RB rotation thing again. Wouldn't be surprised to see 1 or 2 RBs sell the couch after spring practice is over.
    Who’d be appraising the sofa? #MyDick?

    Colombian could be a feature back at Montana. Dick and Ozzy could tear shit up.

    Yah @bananasnblondes , I'm concerned about that... don't want to lose the one kid that I think really stands out and could be our best back in years... I like the rest of these guys ~ they are all good players, but don't want to see Davis heading out the door to see him go somewhere that believes in him and then watch him blow up the score board.

    I hate TB by committee and there are too many backs at UW that don't really distinguish themselves. Newton, Mac, and Pleasant are all in the way of guys with more potential getting adequate carries to get rolling.

    If Davis isn't good enough to move ahead of that mediocre competition to be a feature back then maybe he's the likely couch sale.

    Newton has the ability to be a featured back. People writing him off for no reason

    He hasn’t done shit. His twisting and spinning doesn’t get him many yards once people get their hands on him. If he completely changes his running style to be more punishing maybe there is something there. But I am going guess not.

    No I write hom off for actual reasons. I could be wrong and won't regret it one bit if I am, but I think Newton is mostly hot air and symbolic "fury" as a runner that doesn't really gain much.

    People on here were begging to give McGrew the ball more last year because he was fucking shredding. I agree about Pleasant and Newton, but My Little Sean, no.

    Davis, McGrew, and Sunday would be my ideal.
    McGrew does really well with what he's got, which is just decent quickness and speed and good toughness for his size. He's the one guy who seems like the one guy who can come in cold and make plays. He's a great sub.

    The problem isn't that any of them suck. They're all pretty good including Newton. I just see it as a log jam that's preventing anyone from seizing the job. I think a couple of them, namely Davis and Sunday, could be a notch above but we're not going to find out for another year because of the way the staff uses them.

    I'm just speculating about Davis and Sunday to an extent. I want to see a back get 20 carries per game. Maybe it should be someone else, but I don't think so.

    Mine too. Thing is that I like what Pleasant has to offer too and am reluctant to give up on him. It's just too many fucking backs to play them all.
