Saturday's Scrimmage - Teq's Thoughts

Coleman seems like a great dude and has already proven to be a damn good RB.
All I’m saying is…if we’re trying to salt a game away in the 4th qtr and Mohammad hasn’t proven to be dependable, Jedd needs Jonah on the MF field. -
"Don't think a college football running back having a pitch count in 2024 is diva behavior at all and wonder if it's in NIL agreements now."
What is we doin
If that's what CFB is now then we should just flip to Sunday football
-
Sounds like I’m be taking a waddle to get some perspective.
-
I'm kind of torn on it. I've always felt guilty of running college running backs into the ground because their NFL longevity is so short and their bodies wear down. At the same time, now, if you're getting paid in college, expectations should be different, especially if you're making comparable money to what you would have as a late round draft pick.

Looks fat. I thought he got winded pretty easily last year.
-
Gaskin is still in the league
I don't think carrying the ball 3 more times vs getting run over in pass pro is as big a deal as people echo. Dlinemen and linebackers get way more contact in a game. The whole thing can quickly devolve to flag football and if these players don't want to do it then go get a real job or try basketball
-
as always… FTK.

I think Jedd wants to keep guys fresh for good NFL careers or draft positioning. His whole thing is "UW gets your ready for the league." Not hard to figure out.
Combined with the fact that riding Jonah with a crap OL in a 7-6 type season doesn't help set up for this year.
-
I like it when UW players do well in the NFL but its insignificant to how well they play at UW. Top RBs in the NFL were ran heavy in college it's a total contrived talking point that these football players can't play football if they want to be able to play football professionally

Good Jonah interview popped up on my YouTubes. Smart dude. A lot of these guys are pretty cool when the interviewer isn’t a creepy jock sniffer.

Through 7 games Coleman is averaging 5.1 yards per carry. Has not ran for more than 70 yards against any teams after UC Davis and Colorado State. 3.1 ypc in the past 3 games.
Contrast with the one legged bandit Dillon Johnson in '23 who ran for 5.1 on the year and put up 100 against Oregon, 256(!!!) against SC, 104 against Utah and 152 against Oregon V2. Did poor in the bowls but was quite literally dragging his leg around.
I miss Johnson. Indifferent on small game Coleman.
-
Losing Willis and Mills is a legitimate excuse, but I still am disappointed in what we have seen from Coleman and the run game this year. Especially because I thought Demond's run threat would help open up things for him.
Come on, Canadawg, what do you think Coleman would have done in that 2023 offense and vice versa Johnson this year?
-
Good question. Coleman is probably slightly better but Johnson was faster and hit the hole quicker. He also wouldn't step out of bounds a yard short of the 1st down like Coleman did on Saturday
-
Johnson had a tough start. It's fuzzy but it seemed like he looked like shit for a game or two, was briefly hurt, was a monster after he returned, then was hurt again.
One thing Johnson was elite among the elites at was pass protection. I dont think he ever missed the first guy through and he had the size and balls to take on anyone. The pass pro suffered mightily when he was out.
