Coop, DW and Coleman did not consistently run hard early in the year. We were then treated to UW's version of beast mode, and we saw what right looked like. Then Coleman and DW got hurt, and forced our hand. Last game, on the few touches he had, DW ran hard. And Coop has been productive for the past few games. Well see on Coleman.
In the perfect world, 2 of the 3 can step it up so we can keep Shaq on defense where he belongs.
Cooper didn't get many chances until Oregon. When he played early in the season, he did fine, but it was only token appearances.
Washington runs hard, but he also runs upright. He doesn't have very good vision or wiggle either. He's a big, fast guy playing RB, but he's not even close to being a good or polished RB.
Coleman has looked good at times, but I would agree about him not consistently running hard. I think injury may have played a part in it. Coleman is a plodder so when he doesn't run hard he is awful.
I might disagree about Shaq belonging on defense. He's good on defense, but in the NFL, he's just another guy if he plays D. He's a little small for LB and possibly a little stiff at safety. If he can do what he did in a couple weeks at RB, what could he do playing there full time for a couple years? A 6'1" 225 RB that can catch is pretty special.
