Jared Greenfield commits to Ducks

[Ballz]

Dude he wasn’t a feature back. His job wasn’t to grind out yards it was to try and create a big play every single touch

Sure.

"Hey Salvon. Just try and hit home runs. We don't care about first downs."

He wasn't a feature back because he didn't do much when he was in.

Coaches have a funny little habit with RBs. They stick with the hot hand. If he'd produced, he'd have stayed in. That boy got the hook all the tim.

I told Auburn fans that Amhed was a kid to look out for. I expected big things out of him last year and he disappointed.

I would say what you see is what you get at this point. However, maybe being the 1st back will help him develop what we haven’t seen so far. You never know but I am not expecting it.

You're an idiot. Ahmed only got 104 touches in 14 games last season and averaged 5.8 yards per carry. He's already proven himself as an explosive play maker his first two years in Gaskin's shadow. Now it's his time to shine as the lead back. He hasn't even come close to tapping his full potential yet. He'll be a break out star in this conference and a household name by the end of the season.

As you can’t tell, I am a duck fan. Just so you know I haven’t read one positive comment from you about the Ducks in any shape or form. I actually give the the Huskies their due when where it is deserved. You act like a teenager or a very immature early 20 year old. I like coach Petersen and I was actually excited to watch Amhed.

You can’t tell me that he is a little bit underwhelming as a back. You just don’t see him do the things you want from a bellcow.

Most people see this.

You continue to ignore the facts. A RB that gets an average of less than 8 carries per game can't do shit. Running backs need fucking carries to show what they can do. How is that not obvious? There isn't a RB on the planet that can do shit with only 8 carries per game. Let me know when Ahmed is getting 20+ carries a game and tell me if he still looks underwhelming to you. Till then, shut the fuck up. Most people have seen him average over 6 yards per carry for his first two years while getting minimal carries.

I thought he was the next Napoleon Kaufman elite type back. A runningback that would force Petersen’s hand to play him more. I am sure he will be good. I just don’t see elite.

Literally nobody said he was going to "force Petersen's hand to play him more". You just made that up. A Senior Myles Gaskin was always going to get the bulk of the carries. He earned it. Every UW fan knew that and wanted that to happen and it did. Ahmed will be elite. His time is coming. Nothing is more quookish than the denial of elite talent just because that elite talent is on UW's roster. Quooks doubt Eason and quooks doubt Ahmed because they fear what both are capable of. Please keep doubting them. It will only make it more fun when UW's offense gets right back to blowing Oregon out starting this season.

Bullshit.

No running back gets carries because of some hokey notion of "earning" it as a senior and people knew and wanted that to happen. The got the bulk of the carries because on 2nd and 14 Gaskin carried the ball for 13.5 yards. Because he could produce even though he was hurt. Because he would break the back of the opposing defense by reeling off a big run at precisely the clutch time.

If Ahmed could have done that, he would have, and he would have had more carries.

Again, arm tackles, no vision inside. That's why he didn't get more carries.

It doesn't matter what people did or didn't say. This isn't Madden Football. He would have forced Petersen's hand if he'd produced more. Like I said b4, Gaskin was used like a rented mule; there were plenty more carries for Ahmed if he'd been up for it. He wasn't. Fact.

What are you his Dad? Do you live in Juanita now?

That's how it works at UW bitch. The guys that have earned the trust of the coaches and have PROVEN themselves get to play while the younger guys have to wait their turn. Sometimes to the frustration of us fans. Sometimes we see more talented guys standing on the sidelines in favor of less talented veterans and it pisses us off. But in this case, Gaskin getting the bulk of the carries is exactly what we wanted and that didn't happen because Salvon sucks. It happened because Gaskin was a great player for us and deserved all those carries and more. Salvon Ahmed is better than any RB on your roster.

Number don't lie bitch. 5.8 yards per carry is good production. Salvon has shown elite play making ability and explosiveness. He'll put it all together and be a great back for us. Get over it.

 

[Ballz]

Tony Brooks-James is gonna lead the conference in rushing, no doubt about it! He's an elite track speed athlete who averaged 6.9! yards per carry on over 200 carries and has 16 touchdowns backing up Royce Freeman the last 3 years. This is going to be his breakout season! Cook it!

He always sucked and his talent level is no where close to Ahmed's. Rosengarten says hi bitch.

Well, that's can happen when you pop a good run every now and then and get the quick hook for the better back when you start going down the minute a linebacker breaths on you.

Gaskin was used like a rented mule at Washington and often needed to be spelled more than Ahmed's production would allow. Again, coaches will stick with the hot hand at that position no matter what. Peterman of all coaches isn't going to leave a kid in just to get his yards ... Gaskin played as much as he did because his understudy didn't move the chains like he did. You tell me Washington had a great O line last season, which they ostenstibly did ... does he need the wind to be blowing in a particular direction? You're a back. You get your series. Run! Make people miss! Shed a fucking tackle.

You can tell me to get off Gaskin's dick and whatever other colorful TacTown phrases you can come up with, but as of right now he is what he is, and you saying that he's better than a 4X 1,000 yard rusher (which you clearly did say) is mind numbingly stupid.

The duck is right: you surmise, infer, assume and predict the future in purple all the time, but when it comes to an Oregon player, you need 5 years of proof and a green card, otherwise you throw them into that huge "overrated 4*" pile you're building.

Nobody (seriously) is saying that the terrorist is a shitty back who will fail. The question is whether he will successfully replace Gaskin, who was more than just the total of his stats. (which were awesome). Gaskin had a knack for absolutely breaking a defense's back by converting in key situations. Time and time again I watched Washington in 2nd and shitty situations, only to have him make 2nd and 14 into 3rd and 1. He broke plenty of his own big runs, but it's that other stuff that makes a great running back.

Seriously dude. This isn't hard.

It obviously is very hard for you. The future is ALL PURPLE because UW has the best coaching staff in this conference and are recruiting the best talent in this conference. Everything is lining up for UW to dominate this shit conference, including Oregon. You're right about one thing, Gaskin was great at making plays when we needed them the most. Good thing UW won't be playing a lot of close games going forward and needing a RB to save the day with heroics because we don't have Jake fucking Browning to drag us down anymore.

Did anybody know who Bryce Love was while Christian McCaffrey was at Stanford? No. Sometimes running backs need to be "the guy" to shine. Ahmed is one of those guys and shine he will. Enjoy watching him run all over your defense.

In 2000 the Beavers had Ken Simonton one of their best ever. I remember during that game when a freshman named Stephen Jackson came in he gashed us. But Denny kept going back to the senior

Coaches do shit like that. We stopped Simonton making for the long field goal they missed

Denny was probably drunk.

Frank Gore rushed for over 9 yds. per carry as a freshman, and that didn't result in the benching of either Clinton Portis or Willis McGahee. But you can look at the body of work a kid did and evaluate it on that basis, which is all I'm saying about Ahmed. He reeled off a couple of runs but his carry numbers were small because he got the hook. I watched this happen time and again. Games where Gaskin clearly needed a spell and they couldn't give it to him because Ahmed would waste two downs running like a pussy.

Point is, Ahmed has given no Gore or Jackson indications. Or Gaskin indications. Gore and Jackson gave those indications and just had to share carries with other really good backs. Ahmed was pulled. Lots of guys are fast.

Will he change and become something more? Maybe he will. It has certainly happened.

But right now replacing a clutch runner like Gaskin is a question mark until it's not.

This shouldn't even have to be said.

I like Ahmed. I am confident the running game is going to be at least solid. Solid would still be a big drop-off from what we've had the last three and a half years.
