I'm not sure and I get the doubt because I saw him playGreenRiverGatorz said:
I'm not sure why people think Ahmed is going to suddenly develop the requisite RB instincts needed to excel. The guy has no feel for reading blocks and is not going to become an effective inside runner after two years of showing no ability to do so. I have a lot more confidence in one of McGrew, Pleasant, or Dick becoming an every-down back than I do Ahmed. He's a total weapon, but he's limited.Dennis_DeYoung said:
RB is always quiet because we don’t do much live work. I think we have enough to do well, but we shall see. There’s no sure fire guy, but I think if Salvon takes the next step he can be sensational.whatshouldicareabout said:RB has been probably the quietest position group this spring, which is concerning given that Gaskin is no longer back there.
My only hope is that we stop handing him the ball 7 yards deep on a fly sweep that everyone is waiting on.
If he's not the every down guy find a better way to use him -
You love to paint the recruiting bored with a broad brush but the main ridicule of Dick came from BallzDeep. Who now loves Dick and pretends he never hated it.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

The consensus, if there was one, was "meh" he is a JAG as a recruit. Might end up good but isn't a special or rare human.
Of course it should be noted the RB class out West was incredibly weak in 2018. Dick was the 2nd highest rated RB in the West. The only other top-25 nationally ranked RB, Chris Brown who many on this bored wanted, went to Cal. After Brown and Dick the next highest rated West RBs went to Boise, SDSU, and Oregon State.
USC, Oregon, Stanford, Colorado, and ASU (x3) all went out of region for RBs. -

Meh.
I think they like Pleasant and are trying to be clever in a down year.
He's okay, I guess.
So yeah like I said, meh, JAG, not a rare human but not horrible. With a little DDY performance art sprinkled in there.Dennis_DeYoung said:He looks like Kamari Pleasant if Kamari just bounced everything outside.
He’s not a DDY1 like Chin or Nik Little, but he’s a low 2.
If you want to know what a good RB with his frame looks like, go watch Steve Carr’s highlights from last year.
This kid isn’t close to what we need to up the level of our team.
He’s like BBK, it’ll be barely noticeable that he’s not very good vs crappy teams, but once we play legit teams this guy will be nowheresville.
DDY and "lemmings" all wanted Treshaun Harrison at RB. There are many reasons that recruitment was fucked up but outside of actually recruiting Treshaun and getting him to play RB there weren't many options in 2018.
Which was a completely legitimate viewpoint but keep on using your PGOS hindsight powers to proclaim everyone to be wrong when you never post any opinions of your own. -

Id go back and cherry pick all the shit people said about Newton if I wasnt lazy. Dont act like people werent saying it was a wasted scholarship and that he sucked and so does our RB coach -
It may just be because you are not interested in the intricacies of recruiting that you can’t separate out separate arguments. The primary argument against dick was not that he was terrible, it was just that he was a jag and didn’t look as good as Harrison and other top level recruits.PostGameOrangeSlices said:FremontTroll said:GrundleStiltzkin said:

I am sorry to whomever’s feelings this hurts, but I’m not going to apologize for wanting players like Stephen Carr. -
Ahmed is nearly the opposite of gaskin, all world athletic potential but poor leverage (strength), poor balance, bad in pass protection, and bad vision.GreenRiverGatorz said:

I wish he was moved to slot WR full time last year, and sometimes used as a guy who can play RB when needed or matchups make sense.
Hopefully he makes a jump from pussy to legit angry RB like Polk did.
