Work horse 10-15 touches a game : Dillon Johnson is getting healthy, you can see his vision and cutting ability. Like Gregg Lewis if you need 4 he will get you 4, if you need 50 he will get you 4.

Home run threat to spell Johnson 5-10: Tybo. Guy looks legit.

Receiving threat isolated against a linebacker, draw plays 5-10 touches : Nixon has the skill level mixed in with Johnson at receiver is difficult to defend

Goal Line short yardage: No pass protection Richard Newton

I’ll take Nixon/Tybo at 1/2 and Johnson as 3rd down back until he’s fully healthy. Time to let Newton go man.

I’m pretty sure Johnson starting against MSU means he’s healthy. His rhythm is returning from getting reps. Remember this guy was out spring and fall practice.
 
If Dick can't pass protect he's useless because the defense knows it's a run.

Sometimes you know it’s a run on the goal line and still can’t stop it. Washington needs that threat to be what they can be. You need a dive threat, that’s Dick

This feels a bit like the argument in 2016 in favor of subbing out Gaskin for Lavon Coleman just because Coleman was the bigger back. Gaskin was a better RB in every aspect and could find the gaps to score despite being smaller.
 
I am not so sure Newton is as good as he looked yesterday. Seemed like MSUs defence was getting abused by Penix all day so when they saw a Dick they just werent interested anymore

No offense to your assessment, but I agree with Greg Lewis who actually was the first one to tell us how good Gaskin truly was

Without Coleman m not sure UW beats Arizona?. I think that’s who it was. He went off.
 
That's correct, but I'm talking about a general personnel trend to sub out Gaskin favor of Coleman *just because* he was a bigger back.

Seems like that is the 3 back rotation for sure. Tybo will be the man by next year.

Ngata plays if somebody gets hurt. Adams, I don't see a future for him.

Dick is being carried as a legacy, locker room guy IMO. Maybe they'll let him get 100 against Arizona or something.
