    Meh. Video was too short.

    Plus that is a shitty NWA song. The group quickly went down hill after Ice Cube bolted.

    Agree with DDY. The RB position scares me. As of now, I think we're(?) real thin. If Dotson keeps bulking up, he might break into the rotation with his speed, but he needs to work with Ivan.

    There's no way on allahs beautiful green earth that Gaskin shouldn't get less than 20 carries a game.

    Dotson fucking sucks
    .

    I actually think Coop is serviceable. He will be 25 years old next year I think and probably more confident even still.

    As it stands, I would give Gaskin the ball 25-30 times a game, start with Coop as the #2, use DWarsh on 50-60% of passing 3rd downs (never on a running third down) and then bring McGrew along.

    I would end the failed Coleman and Dotson experiments and try to recruit the shit out of Salvon Ahmed.
    hence why I'm nervous about RB. Can't give Gaskin the ball 25-30x a game. He'll break down. Nothing behind him. Fingers crossed for Jomon turning serviceable.

    Just like Bishop Sankey did!

    Disagree. There's plenty behind Gaskin. Running back is the easiest position to project, so I don't think it's premature to expect McGrew to immediately factor into the RB depth next year. Kid is an absolute stud. Washington, while he can't make a guy miss to save his life, is still a speedy receiving threat out of the backfield, and is perfectly adequate for a backup running back. Cooper is average, but he's not going to be asked to do anything more than spell Gaskin, McGrew, or Washington a few times per game, if that.

    And sure, Dotson and Coleman suck. But who the fuck cares? They're going to be our 5th and 6th string running backs next year.

    Da fuq you say? The only time Dwayne Washington should be on the field next season is on obvious passing situations as a WR or in an ambulance with a shredded ACL.

    Well he should be completing his PhD by then so he'll probably be distracted on the field as he completes his thesis.

    Why doesnt mitchell do ALL of the marketing videos?

    That fat break dancing sack of shit that does tv timeout entertainment at the game needs to DIAF.

    The fat bitch is almost as bad as his brother, "Crazy Larry."

    Any time you are stealing ideas from the Mariners (bad dancing guy, grounds grew dancers), you should be circulating your resume and preparing your elevator speech about what you learned from your last job.

    Gaskin is about as good a Husky back as I can remember.

    I hope we can figure out a rotation next year that makes some sense (unlike this year where we keep forcing DW in).

    I assume McGrew will play, Coop is probably our second best tailback and DW could be an interesting third down option, but his fumbling scares the shit out of me.

    Well, I can certainly remember plenty RBs as good or better than Gaskin, although I like him very much.

    And I disagree that Coop is our 2nd best RB. D Wash, despite his lack of vision and quick cutting ability, is our 2nd best RB. And I actually think his lightning straight ahead explosive speed is a great change of pace to Gaskin's steady body punch style.

    Gaskin as a true Frosh is one of the best backs we've had. When he completes his body of work, he will be in the top tier of this year is any indication.

    And DW sucks.

    Gaskin is a Bishop Sankey-esque runner. Bishop was as good as anyone we've had save for Dillon and maybe Nip.

    D Warsh is a plus at blitz pickup and wheel routes but he lacks any vision as a running threat.

    If that's your #2 next year.... FYFMFE

    Wikipedia is my source.

    Read about some other dude, like Dillon or something. He was special with the patriots.

    The problem with DWarsh is his fumbling. Sure, he's Gorman Thomas on runs, but it's an extra dimension that in his at bats he could score runs for the opponent.

    So what you are saying is that you aren't a fan of him coming up w a runner on 3rd and 1 out?

    I think what he's saying is he runs like Mays but he hits like shit.
