The big back argument is vastly overrated to me as what is a big back and what's the purpose of one?As with most things, all things being equal you take the size ... but I'd take talent ahead of size I would consider a big back a RB that's 215+, a medium back is 200-215, and a small back less than 200. The purpose is having a big motherfucker that can break tackles, get yards after contact, and wear down defenses so that your team can finish strong in the fourth quarter against a defense that's tired of tackling a big motherfucker. But no I'm sure your right and every NFL coach is wrong and every college coach winning national championships is wrong. You guys are right. Big backs don't matter. What was I thinking. The OL plays a much bigger part in wearing a defense down than a RB.Nobody has anything against power backs, but the real point is to get good RB's. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

Get good players. That is literally it.Should we pass on Salvon, Myles, McGrew, Sankey type players because they aren't big backs (whatever the fuck that means)?Good big backs are good because they are good at football, if big back was really crucial we should just start having Greg Gaines run straight ahead and tire out the defense.
Newton and Brown look like future DBs to me. They lack a step or 2 in speed to be serious contenders at RB in the Pac. They have the right frames for DBs tho. Brown looks like he has a step on Newton. Lowe would make for a better RB than them in this class. Brown is 220 lbs. He's a power back. He'll never be a speed guy but when you need a RB to get you five yards a carry against a tough defense Brown could be that guy. You're right about Newton. He's 180 lbs soaking wet. I'm tired of these tiny ass RB's. They're good for the most part in the Pac-12 but we need big backs to beat the big boys. My god, not "power back" bullshit. Eeeesh. When was the last time you saw a team win the national championship without using a power back? Last January.Also in 2013, when Florida State won it all.Florida 2008 and 2006. Texas 2005.Terrible argument.

We? already have a big, powerful back. His name is @PostGameOrangeSlices

Do you consider CJ Prosise a big back? Big back in terms of size, yes. Power back in terms of physicality, no. He's more of a finesse back which is why he's a 3rd string back up and the starter is 250 lb Feast Mode.

In the 2015 class UW went after both Chris Warren and Myles Gaskin. Warren was the higher rated recruit and undeniably a "power back" at 6'3 240. His highlights were more him just running over people while Gaskin's showcased his vision and elusiveness a bit more. I think everyone on this bored would rather have Gaskin than Warren and wouldn't think twice about it. FUCK NO! Warren is a fucking beast! I would trade him for Gaskin in a heart beat. Congratulations, you just won Doog of the year with that one.

My point is that he's 220 and by your definition a big backScarborough at 235+ is a big back 15 lbs for a RB is a big deal Not when you get into big back weight range it isn't. Walter Payton was 215, Adrian Petersen 220, Marshawn Lynch 215-230, Steven Jackson 245, Eddie Lacy 260, Jerome Bettis 270. Once you get into big back territory 15 pounds doesn't matter much. I guy that weighs 220 can break just as many if not more tackles than a guy that weighs 15 more pounds. Then it becomes more about their skill set and mentality. However, the difference between 185 to 200 lbs is huge and 200 to 215 lbs. is big. After that a big back is a big back.

Chris Warren is an NFL talent. Myles Gaskin is not. You clearly don't know shit about football and never played the game. UW would without a doubt be a better team and have a better chance of winning in the playoffs with Warren.

Most coaches don't list their RB's as weighing more than 230. They like it when defenders are surprised by how heavy their RB is when they try to tackle him. Psychological war fare.

No shit Sherlock. I want big backs that are also good. How many elite power backs are there though? The few out there are all going to USC or SEC schools, they're not coming to fucking Washington. I think its just a lot easier to find smaller backs, and its not worth sacrificing the talent difference to go with the bigger back. Bo Scarbroughs don't grow on trees, especially not on the west coast. It's not that hard to find good power backs. Give me a Chris Polk or Lavon Coleman all damn day. We were close to getting Warren. Could have easily dropped Pleasant for Bisharat who will be good for Colorado IMO. We should have taken Cyrus Habibi-Likio who will be a good power back for Oregon IMO. It doesn't have to be some 5* Najee Harris type of guy.

Congratulations, you just won Doog of the year with that one. Wake me up when Chris Warren does anything against a remotely good defense. Up until this season he was a back up to another NFL talent in Deonte Foreman. I'll be sure to bump this thread when Warren is drafted ahead of Gaskin if Gaskin gets drafted at all. And yeah, Gaskin is running all over great defenses in the Pac-12. Those defenses for Oregon, Cal, Oregon State, Arizona, Arizona State, and WSU were all so good last season.
