Ahmed has been ok. I like the Newton/Mcgrew combination better because I feel more confident the play will go for decent positive yards and I like angry running but its whatever.RoadDawg55 said:Ahmed has been good. If he’s not an every down back or the others are better, that’s fine, but he’s useful and should have a role.
I think the frustration of Ahmed has always been more about feeling that the coaches should be getting more out of Ahmed by using him differently. Its amplified by the fact that both Newton and Mcgrew have shown to be more than competent as fill ins for how the staff has traditionally chosen to use Ahmed and the WRs have not been great. -
I like Newton better too and would love to see what he would do with 20 carries.Gladstone said:
Ahmed has been pretty good this year too. Although I don't know if it's PTDS from prior years but I still feel more comfortable though with Newton back there, even though he fumbled twice (!) last week and doens't have that HR threat Ahmed does.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Anyone who cant see that Newton so far this year has been 3 times as good as Salvon is @GrandpaSankey blind
It's a good problem to have. -
I don't have a big opinion on Ahmed. He is what he is. I like the homerun potential that he brings, though (although it seems like he's been caught from behind a few times for supposedly being a burner).
That said, a lot of people sell McGrew short on what he brings. The guy always moves forward and moves the chains. Right now Ahmed, Newton, and McGrew are near-even on carries, although with Ahmed missing the last game. If anything, we learned from the BYU game that Ahmed is not as valuable as people make him out to be. -
Ahmed killed it freshman year doing the jet sweep. That's pretty much all he needs to do to be a serious weapon in the offense.
Use him like Oregon State used the Rogers brothers and move the fuck on. -
The “Ahmed over Newton” narrative at this point feels like a collective attempt to protect DDY’s scouting reputation. Ahmed was labeled the messiah with offers from Bama, etc. while Newton was someone undeserving of an offer and further evidence to fire Boner. Never mind the clear results we’ve seen so far this season.

And if by "who you are" means "I like to run into my blockers and go down the second someone touches me", then NAILED IT!RaceBannon said:BTP's love affair with Salvon is awesome
I love talent and would love to see Ahmed be great but you are who you are
Sorry BTP. You are still WRONG!!! -
Why do you hate talented people does it make you feel uncomfortable?

Why do you support soft running backs? Does it make you feel comfortable? -
I think the frustration has been that people thought he'd be a better running back.Houhusky said:
