Dwayne Washington aka Dwiz Nasty (part 2)
After the injury: 69 carries 458 yards (6.64 ypc & 6 TD) with long runs of 68, 66, 60 and 18.
The only bad game after the injury was the bowl game which could be an aberration as the whole team sucked donkey dick.
As far as competition, he did nothing against Stanford & Oregon but had an okay game against Cal (12 for 53). The competition at the end of the season was actually more difficult than at the start. Both WSU & OSU according to SRS were less terrible than the 4 non-conference teams which DW didn't do much against. Maybe chalk it up to loss of Johnny Nansen?
Anyway, DW clearly improved after the injury. He had a very nice TD run against UCLA and I recall saying he looked like a real tailback. Then he hit multiple home runs against weak teams & Arizona before not doing much in the bowl game.
A reasonable goal for DW should be to average 100 yards/game against the 7 or 8 worst teams in the schedule. He should definitely surpass 100 against the likes of Sac St, Utah St, WSU, OSU. I don't know who will have mediocre defenses, maybe include Cal, Arizona, USC. Its a conference of weak defenses aside from Stanford.
He had 700 yards last year in 12 games with minimal time against Stanford and Oregon. So 1000 yards is a good expectation. That was only his first full year as a running back. He has two years left and there is no reason he shouldn't be more productive.
The key is for him to really show up in the games that are somewhat winnable or 50-50.....Arizona, Cal and Utah....all at home. Can he run for 100 on those guys? His performance was huge at Arizona last year. Can he do that in multiple games this upcoming season? If he runs for 400 yards against those 3 teams, I don't care if he goes 13 for 25 against Stanford.

He's Gorman Thomas.
Most of the time you get him running into the backs of linemen, sometimes you get homeruns. That YPC is great, obviously, but a lot of that is just his long runs. I don't want to 'take them away', but when you compare that to Sankey's YPC, Sankey's YPC was so much more impressive because it really reflected YPC not just the fact that he housed 2 and got 2 yards every other time.
The jury is still out with D-Wawrsh, but his inconsistent performances contribute to an offense with no identity or consistency. -
I don't think Wash is the problem. I think the play calling is, plain and simple. Sankey or Polk wouldn't even stand a chance with this predictable clusterfuck that spawned the Shaq Thompson fake punt
-
If DWashington was even an average pass catcher, he would be a beast on a swings/flares and screens getting in open spaces with a head of steam on undersized DBs and bigger Y/TEs blocking downfield.

Injuries are a big issue for Washington and as such predicting a 1,000 yard season for him is a little cart before horse to me. No question that he has the potential.
The Styx man makes a great point though about consistency. Washington is the king of the 1, 2, -1, 3, 50, 2, 6, 4, 0 carry line. The overall average looks great but his average is more tied to outliers than it is normally distributed. Moving his average in non HR type plays more into a consistent 3-5 yards per carry would be huge not only for him, but for this offense as the last thing that we need is 2nd and long situations. Right now, you feel best when you see Washington get the carry on 2nd and 3 instead of 1st and 10.
There's no question that he's part of the rotation and needs to be a big factor in the offense for the team to be successful. But pinning hopes on him to be THE answer is probably expecting too much. -
Dude, he wont run for 100 yards in one damn game if Lindy is at QB and again proves he cant hit a 10 yd slant. You'll see 9 in the box if Lindy plays like he did at Hawaii. Insert Penace's brilliant idea of lining up under center out the I. You kinda see how this works in the real world pennis?HeretoBeatmyChest said:Before the injury: 63 carries 239 yards, (3.8 ypc & 3 TD) with long runs of 12,11,11 and 9.

Whats your opinion on Lindy, the offense Freeme? I've Never heard anything from you on the football front. Care to join the discussion? Just curious where you stand on the new team after spring? Balls in your court (and no I dont mean in the literal sense you're accustomed to)

My opinion is it's the offseason, you retard.puppylove_sugarsteel said:Whats your opinion on Lindy, the offense Freeme? I've Never heard anything from you on the football front.

Hear ye hear ye...Sugarman loves the faggoty spread offense. His beady eyes get as big as saucers when he sees the bubble screen. He holds his breath in anticipation for all 45 shotgun snaps he sees in a game (might this one reach the QB chest with proper pace). He is convinced that despite the fact that this teams offensive strengths appear to be at TE, RB, QB mobility and interior OL that a power run game game is illogical. Alas no we need be in the shotgun, flare out Marvin Hall and do a tricky play fake before throwing a horizontal pass to a wideout with hands like Roberto Duran and the stature of a middle school boy. Boy howdy nothing gets our little sugar guy out of his seat like this tricky and deceptive offense. You go girl!puppylove_sugarsteel said:

Thomas, the thread is about football. Spring, fall football. How DWashington is going to perform. Has nothing to do with the off season.
Thomas, ive never seen you post or answer a post regarding husky football during the season either.. I just asked for for your simple opinion on D Wash, the team, Lindy etc..(I mean, thats the thread topic). Look how you respond.
You just hang on the fringe, lurking around for an opportunity to sneak in and post "free pub" or something else unrelated , unclever and not fun
