Can't catch either. That drop before half was a loser play that cost a TD.jecornel said:No, unfortunately he has gotten trucked many times. DJ is elite.

Who needs to develope RBs when you find absolutely freaks of nature at schools with a losing record, who would rather shine for a 24-2 coach with the best line in the country?
Do not let the internet fool you. Wayne Tualapapa and UW ran the fucking ball down Pete Ks throat on this same Texas scheme last year. Wayne stiff armed a Texas DB to outerspace.
Johnson is an even more menacing big back with power that runs more downhill than any RB Ive ever seen in the Pac 12.
This is not a joke, by the way. The guy is big and fast and is looking to hit people. He has a weird running style which sometimes causes him to slip, but it punishes people and DBs get trucked. Its like he is falling forward when he makes contact while actually launching with momentum.
I have never heard pads pod on tackles for a UW RB like I did against the Ducks.
Most physical RB this conference has seen since Marshawn Lynch. The pass blocking is the cherry on top.

He reminds me of a poor man’s Marshawn a bit. His running is unorthodox and looks a little out of control, but he always falls forward, is rarely brought down by the first guy, and he runs with bad intentions.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Who needs to develope RBs when you find absolutely freaks of nature at schools with a losing record, who would rather shine for a 24-2 coach with the best line in the country?

I forgot about Toby Gerhart. That guy was a tough SOB too.

Toby was a punisher

Penix better be buying him a watch with the rest of his o-line.FireCohen said:fuck, he took some fucking with guys that have 7+ yard running start. the ones were he picked up DE/OLB - fuck, he wants that smoke.

Oregon kept trying those A gap LB blitzes and we were ready every time. Pass pro was so clean

If you watched the ASU digital recording you would have to try thatNeighbor2972 said:Oregon kept trying those A gap LB blitzes and we were ready every time. Pass pro was so clean
It was the only thing that worked all season
Until it didn't

He blocks like an extra lineman coming out of the backfield. Fights guys with his entire body. Almost held guys on some of those when he was pushed back against the pocket. The reason they’re in the final four is because of that sort of fight and tenacity out of positions you don’t expect. He literally plugs up holes the linemen don’t have the bodies to fill. Penix couldn’t have made those throws without DJ there.

Best RB in the PAC and it isn't close. He can run, catch, pass and block. Hope he sticks around another year, he really is special.SpoonieLuv said:He blocks like a lineman in the backfield.

DeBoer and the portal = 10 star recruits. -
He blocks like he runs, the kid is a MONSTER!

He's a more herky jerky Chris Polk.
I don't remember if Polk could pass block, but I still like Polk more as a runner. He also had way less space to work with.
Very similar guys. -
He reminds me of a smaller LeGarrette Blount. DJ isn’t as big but they have the same running style
-
He is way faster than Blount, and he runs into contact much harder than PolkMiley_Cyrus said:He reminds me of a smaller LeGarrette Blount. DJ isn’t as big but they have the same running style

Polk was a good blocker too. Probably not equal to Johnson but still good.Doogles said:He's a more herky jerky Chris Polk.

DJ sells out to hit guys and get positive yards but he usually goes down in the process. Polk broke more tackles and got more yards after contact, turning a lot of dead plays into big gains by refusing to go down. He could also stop and start and shift laterally quicker than DJ.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

I'm not picking one over the other. Don't twist. Polk is one of my favorite players ever at UW but I'd take either guy. -
This is actually a solid comparison, Marshawn obviously had more juice. They run so wide that it gives them a lower center of gravity despite being pretty tall for the position. It also looks unorthodox almost herky jerky and throws people off when they try to tackle them. He's such a stud.EsophagealFeces said:
