UW Football Players: Not Great Hips Edition
World-Leading Great Hips Evaluators, sometimes called by their less common name "NFL scouts", have commented on the hips of two Washington legends, ASJ and Bishop Sankey. While TBS gurus evaluated both as "superb athletes with great hips", the truth and weakness of their game was recently revealed in their scouting reports. Shockingly, Jood has the scoop:
http://blogs.seattletimes.com/huskyfootball/2014/02/17/scouting-bishop-sankey-and-austin-seferian-jenkins/Notables:ASJ: "Tight hips."
Sankey: "Shows some hip tightness."
With the uncomfortable truth out there and no longer undeniable, who do we blame? The TBS gurus who lie about the hips of teenagers or Sark for not stressing the importance of great hips while at UW?

Great hips needs to be banished from scouting football players just like saying a basketball player that is 6'10" is long. I don't know which one is worse.
I don't look at hips, and I'm not sure exactly what they do for a football player. I imagine that they assist with cutting, twisting, balance, and the strength required to recover or fight for extra yards when a force acts on you and sends your upper and lower body in opposite directions. These are things I think of when I visualize Sankey's running...things that he's exceptional at.
Maybe I've been watching a different running back.
Also, Quincy Pondexter's father was a prison guard and Isaiah Thomas got his name because his dad lost a bet.

I swear I'm not a chimo even though I stalk teen boys for a living and totally look like one.
Sankey has great peripheral vision. At least that was the rumor at WSU.
Seriously though does Sankey go to the shower or fridge in the morning?
