Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Outside of QB, at which position group are we most overrated by Doogs and the Media?

    RB

    RB. The one-two punch of Gaskin and Ahmed is being hyped up too much. It's a really good backfield and might be the best we've ever had but teams like Bama, Georgia, Ohio State, and USC have better backfields than that every year.

    Myles disrespect is unreal
    No disrespect. Bo Scarborough and Najee Harris. Ronald Jones and Stephen Carr. Nick Chubb and Sony Michel. Christian McCaffrey and Bryce Love (Even though McCaffrey got all the carries). It's not hard to think of more talented backfields in recent memory. Gaskin is solid and consistent but he lacks the power and home run speed I would need to see to consider him elite.

    There is no way Adams is 100% next season; if he were I'd feel alot better about the o-line. But as it is you will likely open the season with a sophomore at LT (who is descent), an unproven greenhorn at LG, a one dimensional guard moving to center (can he snap the ball?), another unproven and/or depth lineman playing at RG, with a solid RT. That's 1.5 spots out of 5 that I am reasonably confident in to open at Auburn with.

    Since we are bashing on Gaskin...

    You all are wrong His main flaw is not having enough long runs.

    But he does not consistently get long runs like other big name backs. Saquon, Barkley ronald Jones, Stanford back 1, etc. All have 40+ yard runs nearly every week. While gaskin hardly ever gets a run longer then 20 yards and only has 9 runs over 40 yards

    Yes, Gaskin always gets caught from behind.

    They don't make highlights of all the times he's been close to breaking a long TD run and gotten tripped up.

    No bitch, I'm not restricted to only thinking about one year in time when I can pull from the past couple of years to make my point which I did quite effectively.
