Move Salvon to WR

Ahmed has been good. If he’s not an every down back or the others are better, that’s fine, but he’s useful and should have a role.

Ahmed has been ok. I like the Newton/Mcgrew combination better because I feel more confident the play will go for decent positive yards and I like angry running but its whatever.

I think the frustration of Ahmed has always been more about feeling that the coaches should be getting more out of Ahmed by using him differently. Its amplified by the fact that both Newton and Mcgrew have shown to be more than competent as fill ins for how the staff has traditionally chosen to use Ahmed and the WRs have not been great.
 
Anyone who cant see that Newton so far this year has been 3 times as good as Salvon is @GrandpaSankey blind

Ahmed has been pretty good this year too. Although I don't know if it's PTDS from prior years but I still feel more comfortable though with Newton back there, even though he fumbled twice (!) last week and doens't have that HR threat Ahmed does.

It's a good problem to have.

I like Newton better too and would love to see what he would do with 20 carries.
 
I don't have a big opinion on Ahmed. He is what he is. I like the homerun potential that he brings, though (although it seems like he's been caught from behind a few times for supposedly being a burner).

That said, a lot of people sell McGrew short on what he brings. The guy always moves forward and moves the chains. Right now Ahmed, Newton, and McGrew are near-even on carries, although with Ahmed missing the last game. If anything, we learned from the BYU game that Ahmed is not as valuable as people make him out to be.
 
Ahmed killed it freshman year doing the jet sweep. That's pretty much all he needs to do to be a serious weapon in the offense.

Use him like Oregon State used the Rogers brothers and move the fuck on.
 
The “Ahmed over Newton” narrative at this point feels like a collective attempt to protect DDY’s scouting reputation. Ahmed was labeled the messiah with offers from Bama, etc. while Newton was someone undeserving of an offer and further evidence to fire Boner. Never mind the clear results we’ve seen so far this season.
 
BTP's love affair with Salvon is awesome

I love talent and would love to see Ahmed be great but you are who you are

And if by "who you are" means "I like to run into my blockers and go down the second someone touches me", then NAILED IT!

Sorry BTP. You are still WRONG!!!

I think the frustration has been that people thought he'd be a better running back.
 
Ahh keep peddling fs narratives!

No one is saying Ahmed is bad. His tool set is just not an every down RB, he needs space. He runs into his own lineman and other defenders way too much and just falls over if running between the tackles, this isn't debatable.

Newton is averaging almost 5.4 yards per carry and has a long of 23. He’s consistently getting Solid yardage. One guy can’t bring him down.
