Agreed, the difference here is one drive. I'm definitely in LIFPO mode on the backs.RoadDawg55 said:
Give it more than a game. Washington looked good in limited action last year. Coleman looked pedestrian until the final drive where he gained 43 yards on 6 carries. His stats were almost identical to Washington's before that. Great sample size on one.Dennis_DeYoung said:All I have to say is Dwayne Wawrshington sucks and Lavon Coleman is good. If you can't see that you're JohnnyPatronNansenFS.
Coleman was playing his first game and looked good.

RoadDawg you ignorant slut. I saw Wawrshington last year and that's all I needed to see. He runs upright and has no feel for the position. He's good in practice, because everything is predictable. He's good in the HUSKY TUFF-FS COMBINE because he's a "specimen". However, he sucked all year last year because he hits the wrong hole (2 hole?) and can't make anyone miss.RoadDawg55 said:Give it more than a game. Washington looked good in limited action last year.

He looked great in the OSU game, but so did Deontae fucking Cooper. SFW. He is not an intuitive runner--he has little to no vision, and every moron out there thinks speed and power make for great runners. Sankey was great because he had a feel for how to run, when to accelerate, etc. Wawrshington has none of that shit.
Coleman is good.
I respect Wawrshington's speed/power combo or whatever, but you got to have vision. -
Voted down for saying WASHINGTON (dammit) sucked all last year. The sample is very limited, of course, and I'm not declaring him as some great RB based on his performance, but he looked good to me and the stats back that up. In the 8 games he saw carries he averaged less than 4 YPC in just two of them (Illinois with 2 carries and Arizona State with 1) and averaged over 5 YPC in 5 of them. Yes, one of those games was the FO, Gs, and the Arizona game he only had two carries, but in the other three he had 18 carries for 130 yards. Overall the dude averaged over 7 YPC on 47 carries last year.Dennis_DeYoung said:

Quibble all you want about the competition, and I'm not saying that's anything close to repeatable, but to say he sucked last year is pure fucktard. -
He sucked last year. He just wasn't good. Watch Sankey run. That is a good running back. Wawrshington came in in easy situations and tried to ram his way through every hole (75k?).
Wawrshington is just not that great. Maybe he doesn't totally suck, but he sucks. -
If you average 7.1 yards per carry you employed the correct running style.Dennis_DeYoung said:He sucked last year. He just wasn't good. Watch Sankey run. That is a good running back. Wawrshington came in in easy situations and tried to ram his way through every hole (75k?).

We will see. I thought Washington was trying to be too patient for the holes to open which made him look tentative. He had a bad game, no question about it. The OL played bad too. I didn't see tons holes for any RB. Coleman looked like a decent back, I didn't see anything wowing. He ran hard and came up big on the final series. He's looked a little slow and lumbering to me, but obviously there is a lot more that goes into being a RB. In the first game, he looked better than Washington though.Dennis_DeYoung said:He sucked last year. He just wasn't good. Watch Sankey run. That is a good running back.

In their freshman years, both Washington and Sankey looked good in limited samples. How did Sankey look against San Diego State in 2012? 22 for 66. 3 YPC at home against a MWC team. 30 for 82 after the second game. He didn't start out great either and looked nothing like the player he would become. Sankey was great and everyone knows how hard it will be for Washington to be as good as him, but I'm not ready to write him off after one game and I'm not ready to anoint Coleman after a decent (far from great) game. -
I'm hearing Dwayne Washington's got a fumbling problem.

The defense was fine considering they were on the field most of the 2nd half. Roaddawg made a good observation where UW was subbing a lot on defense during that game which helped quite a bit in that regard. It was one of the few examples of good coaching during the game.
Norm Chow helped the most, that 3rd and 10 pass to the flats near the 50 late in the 4th was fucking stupid and probably destroyed any confidence the team had left. Not even going to mention the trick play they tried.
Lindquist had a lot of wide open receivers in the 2nd half he just plain missed. Hoping to see a different offense with Cyler next week (god damnit I'm going to waste another day watching a shitty scrimmage). We win rather easily, say 44-10? -
I always thought Washington was getting overrated on this board. Coleman looks like he is going to be pretty decent. We were spoiled by having the luxury of 2 of the best backs to play at UW ever in Polk/Sankey back to back.
Still too early to jump to conclusions for either Coleman or Washington but my first impressions from the Hawaii game is that Coleman is going to be the guy soon. -
Fuck that, I'm watching Stanford/USC. Not going to watch a scrimmage against a D2 team where we yield 400+ passing yards. No thanks.SteveInShelton said:The defense was fine considering they were on the field most of the 2nd half.
