So many to choose. Vita and Gaines were great too. It took two full years to get Vita in shape and playing hard but when the light came on, he couldn’t be blocked.Doogles said:Gaskin or King. Or 2016 Azeem. Or Ross.
I loved Dissly as well and fondly remember being somewhat surprised how dominant he was in the run game in 2016. I thought he would move to TE and never really do much.
While we were whining about getting Darrell Daniels the ball more, we should have been whining about Dissly. I have no doubt he has improved as a receiver, but there is also no question he could have done more as a receiver at UW. The guy is a very smooth athlete for his size. He’s made some very tough back shoulder catches for the Seahawks that aren’t a skill you can just learn. It’s always been there. -

As a running back -
Myles GaskinNot having Dante in the top 10 is criminal

Vita VeaI have images of a running back running up the the middle behind a mass of several giant Olineman. There's only one D lineman lined up against them so the they get good push. Wait. They've been halted in there size 14 tracks. And what is that shooting out from the entanglement of helmets, stretched pants and chopped turf? An arm! An arm that grasps the running back around the waist and drags him to the ground like a kraken pulling a ship to the abyss.

Greg GainesMany good players to choose from but it's Gaines for me. Absolute stud rock on the line for 4 fucking years. Played 54 games. Started 46 or so. Never missed one. Morris Trophy. Straight up bad ass. Played hurt and still started over the others. Unbelievably consistent.
The real reason is when he showed up up he was treated shitty. 3 star, Mountain West guy, not good enough for UW. Still questioned until he flashed every time he hit the field. Then his first start was a 10 tackle ass rape against Utah in a loss. He said "I don't care what you assholes say I'm here to kick ass, fuck off". I liked that attitude! -
Myles GaskinSeriously without this one player Myles Gaskin 7-6 is the norm
-
Myles GaskinMMFG hid a ton of warts in 17 and 18. Probably won 4+ games himself.

Myles GaskinWonder where Rapp might have landed in this pole had he played in the Rose Bowl and we won?

Azeem VictorI think the player that did the most to affect the win/loss column is Gaskin.
The player I most wanted to drive down to Seattle to watch play in person was Azeem, just because he was such an awesome, gigantic, intimidating, shit-talking freak. Plus, by all accounts, really good guy off the field with his charity and whatnot. RIP. They say Bierria was the emotional leader of that defense, and Gaines/Virta Vita/Qualls/etc. were really the engine that made it work, but it was Victor that made Death Row Death Row. He was the dude who made opposing offensive players think, "Fuuuuuck, this is going to be a long day." For two seasons, it was like watching old Husky defense, and Seattle football fans live for defense. They were statistically better in 2017, after Azeem got the AIDS, but they weren't the same defense. It frustrated offenses, but it was no longer feared by them. It was more effective, but simultaneously less fun to watch.
Even in the games in which the offense were tripping over their dicks, Azeem Victor made Husky football must-watch TV in 2015 and most of 2016. It was a fun time to be a Husky fan. -

I never agree with you but when I did, it was this. Gainsey 4 EverSledog said:Many good players to choose from but it's Gaines for me. Absolute stud rock on the line for 4 fucking years.

Jon RossAzeem was easily my favorite in 2015. He made those games watchable until the team improved enough to be decent.
I do agree that our defenses haven’t been as physical the last few years, even tho they were really good before this year. Hard hitters like Azeem are fun to watch. -
Greg GainesA bunch of Doogs in this thread.
