Ahmed doesn’t seem to have the durability of Gaskin

Pleasant isn’t on par with Gaskin, Sankey or Polk
-
Mcclatcher will be moved to RB. Fuller stole his spot. It's either that or transfer.

Lowe to RB.

Don't worry. Our running back coach is literally jesus.

Coleman took a big jump from his sophomore to junior year.
I have a good feeling about Pleasant.
-
IIRC, the year Pleasant signed we weren't sure we would even take his commit until we struck out on everyone else. Chinteresting if he gives you the "good feeling".
-
PREMATURE!
-
Adams, Watty, Harris, and Jaws return. Nuff said on that

Who cares? Three years later he looks damn good.sinceredawg said:IIRC, the year Pleasant signed we weren't sure we would even take his commit until we struck out on everyone else. Chinteresting if he gives you the "good feeling".

Should we fire the running backs coach?
@NorwegianHusky tells me that running backs don't actually require any coaching and we should judge the coach based on how many 5* recruits they have in June. -

The terrorist and Pleasant will do just fine.
Maybe the Sounders are more your speed? -

You can't teach instincts like Gaskin's. Just look at Salvon. When Gaskin leaves you're gonna see how spoiled we have been with him. Or maybe you won't see it, because you're a retard.PurpleJ said:Should we fire the running backs coach?

QB and RB both have a "vision" component that can't really be taught. It's an innate feel for the position that you either have or you don't. I think the RB position will still be productive for us as we have good athletes but Polk, Sankey and Gaskin were/are special talents with with innate patience and vision.

Point is you wanted the RB coach fired in June because you didn't like his recruits. Well, the fact that we've had 2-3 good backs every year he's been here says differently. So does the head coach.
In short, the results say fuck you. Doogs hate results. -
We've been hearing that we will struggle to replace "x player" for years now. Not to say Gaskin isn't a good back, but we actually have coaches that recruit and develop talent so I'm not worried.ToddTurnerLIVES said:QB and RB both have a "vision" component that can't really be taught.

Ahmed will be fine running between the tackles once he is doing it 10+ times a game. Right now the sample size on him doing that is tiny.

I hope you're right.bananasnblondes said:Ahmed will be fine running between the tackles once he is doing it 10+ times a game. Right now the sample size on him doing that is tiny.
One thing Gaskin does so well is that he is able to make something out of nothing and fall forward for another 2-3 yards after seemingly being wrapped up and stopped. There are games where those type of yards are 15-20% of his overall production. With Ahmed I see an insane athlete who is a homerun threat, not the durable grinder that Gaskin is. Like I said, I think we'll still get production out of our running backs next year, I just think there will be some games where our run game really struggles against top tier front 7's because we don't have a back like Gaskin who can make something out of nothing. Ahmed will have a bunch of 100+ yards game but I think there will also be games where are run game struggles to have an impact. -

Gaskin is a great player. He is one of my favorite Huskies to ever suit up.
However, we will be just fine without him. Ahmed will get stronger and more refined this offseason, prepping for the increased amount of snaps. Right now, Ahmed has been statistically more effective. He is averaging 7.1 yards per carry, while Myles is averaging 4.5 yards per carry.
Stanford could have freaked out that they were losing McCaffery. They didn't, instead Bryce Love became a thing. It will be the same story with Ahmed. He has shown enough flashes to convince me that we will be just fine in 2019. Kamari Pleasant is also going to be really good, and I am sure they will also work Dick Newton in there, who's body looks incredible. Yeah and there is Sean McGrew, who actually looks pretty decent this year. Give all these young pups another year in the weight room, and I actually love our runningback situation in 2019. Don't forget about Cam Davis coming in either.
That is college football. You bring in new guys and you develop them. Ahmed will be better in a year than he is now. That's not up for debate. It's a given. -
Ahmed will gain another 15-20 lbs and be just fine between the tackles.
Think: Rahsaan Sheehee.
Or am I dealing with a bunch of dumbfuck Millenial doogs here? -
