Dillion Johnson looks really
Hopefully Will is the guy.

RB a major concern. Couldn’t run the ball at all today.

Ngata by seasons end

Ngata chance

Richard Newton was criminally underutilized
-
Very disappointed by RBs. Nixon looks quick but not physical. Dillon brings almost nothing to the table. Adams is lame.
Feel like the OL actually sucks at run blocking. -
Dillon= super JAG. He tries to shake and bake and has nothing. Tybo one play. No Newton. Ugly. Totally abandoned the run.
-
They're all JAGs. Calling for one over another too loudly doesn't really make sense. I think Nixon looked the best but he doesn't do anything that separates him beyond debate. Sam Adams as the 4th or 4th stringer is only slightly worsejecornel said:Dillon= super JAG. He tries to shake and bake and has nothing. Tybo one play. No Newton. Ugly. Totally abandoned the run.
Newton is just more of the same. He shouldn't be returning kicks either. He doesn't have the extra gear he needs and always resorts to the stutter step and go, followed by another stutter step and go, and repeat, until he's tackled. He doesn't plant and get positive yards where he can. He could've cut upfield early on that return and at least crashed over the 25. -
We need tybo to step up
-
That would be the only thing left to hope for.LongDukDong said:We need tybo to step up
Otherwise we know what they are. We also know that the offense will get by. They'll find some holes and won't perform any worse than Papa and Cam Davis did -
The running game sucked ass there’s no way around it.
I think it will be there as the year goes on, though. DeBoner seemed like he wanted to play thumper ball at the start and Boise wasn’t having any of it. So it became Air Boner.
Pass the ball to set up the run and stretch the defense early, and things will loosen up. The guards and center will get better at run blocking too — they played like shit today in the run game.
I’m not ready to burn all the RBs at the stake yet. -

I'm old enough to remember how bad the running game was after week 1 last year. Couldn't convert a 3rd and 1 to save their lives.
-
I will repeat myself: anyone who thought the SEC was letting a stud RB transfer to the pacific NW was retarded. Our hopes rest on Nixon.

Lack of running game and a corner who can’t cover or tackle will cost this team 2-3 winsBleachedAnusDawg said:I'm old enough to remember how bad the running game was after week 1 last year. Couldn't convert a 3rd and 1 to save their lives.

Corner play was way better than last year. The entire defense was basically helpless at the beginning of 2022.NeGgaPlEaSe said:

At RB they really need somebody who can make the necessary short yards. Cam Davis scored a lot of TDs last year in that role. -

We all know how this plays out…next week they will sell out against the pass and “we” will run for 250…

I don’t think it matters what Tulsa does next week, they’re getting ass bombed.Fishpo31 said:We all know how this plays out…next week they will sell out against the pass and “we” will run for 250…

There's going to be a different RB look the best every week.
None of them are special. -
Feed him

Guess you missed what the Pirate said…longduckdong said:Slow and a plodder. Appears to stop his feet when hit.
Hopefully Will is the guy.
In other news, he scored.
But whatever. Hope he somehow helps WA. -
Apparently Richard Newton is dead to DeBoer... will always wonder what he did to get so far in the dog house.
-
You know it's bad when he's behind Adams, but yet is out there on kickoff duty.BroadcastingDawg said:Apparently Richard Newton is dead to DeBoer... will always wonder what he did to get so far in the dog house.
Newton is in the dog's dogs dog outhouse w/ KD. -
Newton returning kicks is truly bizarre.

Corner play was surprise highlight of day today. Guys were on receivers and getting hands in way. Dom and Asa are who we thought they were as Safeties. LB's are jags. DT's will be able to do what's asked of them.Kingdome_Urinals said:

Edge play was not good to put it mildly, and running game between tackles was abysmal just as it was most of last year.

The coaches expect RBs that can catch passes and pass block. Not saying Rich can't, so don't twist.jecornel said:Newton returning kicks is truly bizarre.

Fuck that. Corey Dillion was not the greatest receiver unless he was wide open. Pass pro decent. Give Newton the ball up the middle. It really won’t take away from Grubb’s passing game to feed dick the ball 5 times a game and will keep the defense honest. It was criminal underuse of a man playing among boys.HairyBallsDawg said:
