D. Washington expectations?

All the physical attributes are there for him to be an absolute monster RB, but he has lacked even the most basic of instincts for the position. For a former WR he also has atrocious hands, the hell was his HS coach thinking? He came on strong the last three regular season games, but I'm guessing that's mostly because the competition dropped precipitously.
Can anyone think of a RB who suddenly snapped out of it as an upperclassmen and produced? Is a 1,000 yd season feasible? Will our FS play calling even give him a chance?

Reminds of Louis Rankin but without the instincts. Would really like to see Cooper take advantage and take off

Rankin didn't really have very good instincts either. I can see the comparison though. I said D- Wash was a faster Rich Alexis.
I really miss Sankey and Polk. -
true....Rankin had a little bit thoughRoadDawg55 said:Rankin didn't really have very good instincts either. I can see the comparison though. I said D- Wash was a faster Rich Alexis.

Low. He is what he is.

Rankin's actually the best answer to the OP's question. Rankin had a very good senior year. Even played ever so briefly in the NFL.HuskyJW said:Reminds of Louis Rankin but without the instincts. Would really like to see Cooper take advantage and take off
D Wash's first two years were far better than Rankin's though. -
Hes unusually tall for a RB and runs with a pretty high pad level. Injuries will likely always be an issue for a player like that. He probably would have had a 1,000 yards last year had he stayed healthy.

Rankin had no instincts. Great back end speed but the first ten yards took 18 yards t get.

1000 yards isn't what it used to be. The game has changed, 100 yards per game is the minimum qualification to be labeled a good full time back.
Teams play 13-14 games a year with back averaging 5+ a carry in the spread.
He runs like a goat fuck. Give Lavon Coleman his explosiveness and you're looking at an all Pac player. -
Sounds like the coaches are high on Jomon Dotson.
