Underclassman that are good enough to play is a good thing. Means we are improving out recruiting stock.

huh? I know, ha, that's exactly what I was saying

I guess we don't need any RBs.

He could fit the role of a hybrid WR/RB similar to Dri Archer

I'm annoyed with this. I loved his highlight tape and though he was one of the best runners I've seen on tape. He can still be incredible at WR, but I still think he would be more effective at RB.

That's surprising. I wouldn't put much into it though. If he's a play maker they will get him the ball one way or the other.

If I recall Akeem Daniels played WR as a Freshmen. If you are talented enough they will get the ball one way or another. Maybe not this year, but in a year or two he could certainly be our starting RB.

So umm...anybody at Practice #1....?

That's what I was thinking, maybe he'll be a WR/RB hybrid just to make sure he gets on the field quickly.

No, but I am going to try to make it out to the scrimmage Saturday.

You guys realize Akeem was labeled as a WR as a freshman. Guarantee he gets used like Akeem in the early days. Don't get your panties in a wad fellas

What did lineman do before knee braces? Did their knees just fall apart while walking?

The Huskie O-Linemen had really crappy knee braces even in the 2003 season. It was sometime in the mid-2000s that they got the good ones.
