Lavon Coleman leaving
if you caught the latest story from Jude, Coleman is all about selfless play. He is on both special teams units and has been outstanding. Him and Zeke Turner take it very seriously.
Coleman has completely captured, "it's all about the team mentality."
This probably has a little bit to do of him not getting the amount of carries we expect him to get.
Leading the PAC-12 in yards per carry this year. Ripped up the cougs and has one of the better 9 yard carries I have seen in awhile against the cougs.
Coleman is turning out to being of my favorite Huskies in a very long time. Someone completely wiped themselves clean of the Sark stench. You can just see his intensity in the game. He is totally, "locked in" as Darrell Daniels likes to say.

You told me he sucked two years ago.

Did he even play for Sark? Much easier to lose the stench when you never played for the guy.

Sorry bro. Go back and watch the film. His frame was nowhere what it was and has improved his speed.PurpleJ said:
The amount of work and commitment he put in is the difference. He was not a good good running back.
You just don't like me. So fuck off.

I don't need to go back and watch the film. I knew the whole time. He had a body that would have fared well at the flatbed auction, but I saw his vison as a ballcarrier. Nose for the hole and all that.

The old Coleman didn't have the explosiveness the new one has. He showed signs of intelligent running, hitting the right holes and creases, but didn't possess the quick change of direction and speed to blast quickly through the holes like he now does. He also showed good balance and wasn't easy to bring down, but had a little later years' Shawn Alexander in him. Credit the kid for putting in the time and work to be his best. He's turned into a great goddamn back that bowls people over and looks like he's having a blast doing it.

Coleman showed some good RB instincts/awareness as a freshman. The problem was he was slow as shit.
Last year was the Gaskin show and Coleman looked like a SJSU transfer in waiting.
Props to him and Bonerpopper, he has elevated his game through the roof this year. -

I'm going to punch you in the nuts. I have a good angle too. Roll by.

Ripped up the cougs and has one of the better 9 yard carries I have seen in awhile against the cougs.
1) I don't think his performance on special teams has been discussed enough...if at all. Coleman has made a number of tackles this year. And he loves it.
2) That 9-yard run was a thing of beauty, worthy of some Sam Spence music and a John Facenda voice over.
Quite simply, Lavon Coleman is a football player. Praying he stays healthy, and stays a Husky. -
Wow. It's almost as if Coleman developed as he matured in the program. Weird.

To a certain degree, I think Coleman knows that his best chance at a lengthy NFL career is as a backup RB that is a strong special teams player.
He's learned to run downhill as a RB behind his pads packing quite a punch ... and as @Passion has pointed out, he's doing tremendous work on special teams.
Those kinds of players often don't get the limelight that others do, but you don't win football games without them. -
I don't think he was slow. He always had burst. He just didn't run hard consistently.
So you saw - every now and then - he would run with purpose and do something great. But most of the time you saw him slow to pick holes, not put it in overdrive from the get-go and he looked slow because he was indecisive.
Now he just runs with purpose on every carry, knows where he's going and as my esteemed colleague @Tequilla points out, learned to 'get behind his pads' and added a lot of power to his game. -

Coleman was playing with cement cleats for 2 years so that he would be explosive when he removed them his junior year

Dude don't overthink this. Even on the rare occasions he got into the open field he was slow as hell. He wasn't called cement shoes by accident.Dennis_DeYoung said:I don't think he was slow. He always had burst. He just didn't run hard consistently.

Dude got on the juice and took his 40 from a 4.9 to a 4.6, turned 15 pounds of baby fat into muscle and realized he's a badass. His body transformation is everything a strength and conditioning program is supposed to produce and ours hasn't for a good 20 years.
IMO, what's happened to Coleman is the single biggest reason to believe in this program's future. If we can take a scrub like Coleman and produce this, look the fuck out. -
Just imagine Ahmed after a RS year. I'm looking forward to learning about Murphy, Levi, Camilo, Twat, Love in Spring ... after this epic return to prominence/relevance season concludes in Jan '17.dnc said:
