Ahmed gone

The team he grew up cheering for just recently has a spot open and is probably the most capable of featuring his explosiveness.ThomasFremont said:I think he will excel in the NFL with a team that passes him the fucking ball in space. Pete and Bush were too dumb to figure that out.

Wisconsin ran a perfect RB wheel route in 4th down in the Rose Bowl, which not only converted the 4th down, but went for like 20 yards because they’re best player is dragging DBs instead of front 7 players for YAC.RoadDawg55 said:
We did fuck up getting him so few of those touches. Throwing to the RB’s isn’t done by very many college teams in general. -
Interesting that I just feel pretty indifferent about this.

FWIW CJ Anderson was never the featured back for Cal (shared time with tiny dancer Isi Sofele) but managed to have a pretty good NFL careerRaceBannon said:Talk about empty calories. My goodness will anyone even draft him? Running backs are devalued if they actually do great in college. What's the market for a part time back?

Sark called the wheel route pretty regularly and to great effect. Just sayin'.ThomasFremont said:

The wheel route, as much as the quick slant, is all about when you do it and them not seeing it coming. Otherwise, they both have interception written all over them.BleachedAnusDawg said:

Who do thank Allah for now?

Yep but Ahmed will show up at the Combine, weigh in a little over 200 lb and run at least a low 4.4. He'll interview well, some team will fall in love and think he's at worst a 15 carry a game back, can return kicks then draft him somewhere between the end of the third and fourth round.PostGameOrangeSlices said:
He has elite measurables and some team will take a 6th round pick or something on him
Couldnt hold a candle to Gaskin and his meh measurables -
There is no way he's going to be a 15 carry a game back. That makes you a feature back in today's league. The 16 guys who got 15+ carries a game this year average 222lbs. Six of them were 1st round draft picks, another six were taken in the 2nd round, two in the third, one in the fourth, and Chris Carson in the 7th.Baseman said:

He’ll add the weight. He’ll run fast. He works hard and will ace the interviews. Assuming he doesn’t do a Sid Jones, Ill be shocked if Ahmed is still on the board come round 5.dtd said:

Might be a while before I can use this again.

And he won't even push 15 carries a game. Alvin Kamara didn't, Aaron Jones didn't, Saquon Barkley didn't, etc, etc, etc.Baseman said:

I was surprised to see he was a 1,000 yard rusher this year.
Next.
1) they are all stupid worn out platitudes said by fans trying to act classyBleachedAnusDawg said:
What's your point? Those are all true. Plus, now that he's gone you shouldn't really care about him.
2) He has a chance to make millions. But he won’t. Unless his real estate career takes off in a coupe of years. -
NOC. I thanked him for his service. I like players that play in our bowl games. Taylor Rapp can fuck right off.dtd said:

Im on to Dick and the kids -
LOL whaat that guy sucks!

That seems high. Tape don’t lie and I don’t think he’s that much faster than a lot of backs. I could be wrong.Baseman said:

He’s run sub 4.4 —handtimed. His agent will hire him a speed coach for draft prep.RoadDawg55 said:

Watch that 80something yard run he had against USC. As soon as he had a bit of daylight he was gone. The DB even had a decent angle on him and still couldn't run him down. I'd be shocked if he ran over a 4.45RoadDawg55 said:

One DB had a good angle and almost closed on him. He may have if the field had been 10 yards longer.WillyRBeek said:

That's at the end of a 90 yard run. Ahmed would have better 10, 20, and 30 yard splits than 60-90 from what I've seen. There wasnt a player on that field that would have tackled him if they had all started side by side at the 10 yard line. He was a streak for the first half of that run. That's the part that counts the most. -
Ahmed is amazing outside the tackles. When he gets a seam it's over.
Dont ask him to run between the tackles. In the NFL he is going to get demolished. He gets lit up because he stops his feet. He never attacks tacklers -

Chris Steele. He flies. And yes, he had the angle and still couldn't catch Ahmed. Ahmed has everything--frame, speed, lateral quickness but he doesn't have IT.chuck said:

If he can eliminate studder stepping and staring at wide open holes he might be okay. If Boobie Williams from WSU couldn't get drafted hard believe amhed will. Boonie was a GOOD back.
He was also recruited as a DB so there's that. -
That run against USC is worth a draft pick. A lot of backs would kill for those 7 seconds.Baseman said:

My question with Ahmed is how we never ran a formation where he's split out and takes a jet sweep... he could have been lethal there.
Instead we banged our heads against the wall over and over again watching him go down on first contact 99% of the time he touched the ball. Hamden and Pete really had no idea how to get him the ball in space. His speed was so often wasted. -
I'm very "Meh" about this as others have mentioned. Ahmed never did it for me, I found I was more frustrated with how he was being used and his inability to just let it rip most of the time. I always thought he tried to run like MMFG and it just didn't work for him.
He will always be a "what could have been" for me. Best of luck to him, if he thinks he can start making $$$ now, do it. -
if he does what you mentioned and show a consistent ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, he should have a few teams salivating.Baseman said:
