    The O line is still massively over rated

    What holes?

    Ahmed is trying to be patient, find holes and wait for holes to open. That's what playing for Juanita vs O'Dea did to him.

    He is improving at locating holes, but is not yet dynamic enough to see them opening up and blast through before the defense has already squeezed down on him.

    What he isn't doing very well is identifying creases or the pursuit, and he's missing BIG cutback opportunities to change direction and go against the grain for big yards. Watching his tape, you see him pressing and forcing himself to wedge between his blockers on plays where he'd be better off going outside or reversing direction. If he can improve on that stuff at all, his runs will flow a lot better with the offense and his current 2 or 3 yard efforts will become 6 or 7. The OL also plays a big part in this, and could do a better job of identifying soft spots or mismatches Ahmed could exploit.

    Bottom line is that the kid's a tremendous athlete, but not yet a great, all-around RB. But he could become one, because he continues to improve.

    Its Browning Syndrome...Out thinking himself...In this case the young man has talent though, not just try hard...

    I do think that’s part of it. He makes the wrong decision a lot. He doesn’t have a feel in traffic. Every now and then he looks really good. The Apple Cup last year and USC come into mind. It’s not consistent. In space, he’s pretty good although he’s not really elusive at all. He’s just fast.

    Ahmed is a Dwayne Washington or Louis Rankin. He’s better than Dwayne Washington, but there are similarities. His stats are good, he’s fast and can break them which makes him valuable, but you can’t count on him to consistently get yards.

    I’m not going to crown McGrew yet. We need both guys. Whoever is hot needs to get the bulk of the carries.

    It would be irritating if it mattered. The game was over by that point.

    I won't even dignify that slanderous comment with a response.

    Worst Thing that happened to him was when he stopped his feet and still busted that 89 yard touchdown against USC. Now he thinks he can do it every time

    He's not the only one











    Like the Oregon State game?

    Anyone remember that. I see a bit of a resemblance.
