Ethers reason is comfort and knowing the system, once this O and D don't think but react speed will be seen. Washington is prime example. He is now confident and the O is coming quick. D is not far behind, have seen much better instincts.

GTFO. If you’re not happy with a composite 4 star recruit, then that tells me a lot about you. And, you’re also focused on a 40 yard time, that was probably a laser time. And, laser 40 times are all about your starting technique. There can be as much as a .2 second difference if you’re not coached correctly on it.
Our D needs to figure out the post routes over the middle, everything else seems to be coming along. Oh yeah, a punt return now and then would be nice.Ethers reason is comfort and knowing the system, once this O and D don't think but react speed will be seen. Washington is prime example.

Yep, he's pretty much an all-around dolt...
Well Hoosker also thought Greg Bell was super fast and Maurice Washington was nothing special.

I also think Washington is a little over-hyped. Him making dozens of spectacular plays in Fall camp I think says a lot more about our defense than it does Washington. A true freshman should never come in and start making your defense look silly unless he's a Heisman caliber athlete.I can't help you if you don't know the difference between quick and fast. I never said Bell was fast, but Frost did. But Greg Bell was very quick through the hole, just like our starting RB DO. And he had good vision. He would have played a ton here too.
I said that Bell was a better back than Washington, which he is/was when he was here. Washington was too slow getting through the hole earlier in the season, and sometimes still is, but he has improved. Washington has proven to be very fast in the open field. I said Washington didn't look very impressive early in the year, which he didn't, but has improved quite a bit in a short time. I still don't think his vision is fantastic in close quarters. He struggles a little to find the holes on inside runs.
Was just gonna say, shit I used to run.... but then I remembered that was yards....4.7 is slow when you consider all the guys on this board that run 4.28 electric times, squat 1000 pounds and bench 800.
So far this year he has run for 5.6/carry.I also think Washington is a little over-hyped.

Washington was very hesitant to start the year and still plays a little hesitant. You can tell he has good vision from his hs film though. He just has to get used to the college game. I think a redshirt year would have benefited him greatly, but unfortunately our rb room wasn't good enough to allow that to happen. He still goes down quite easily and awkwardly a lot of times, and he's still probably playing underweight. He's done a good job as a true freshman, but I can't wait to see him play when he adds a little weight and strength and catches up to the speed of the college game and plays without hesitation.
I was pouring on the hype when he got here too. If all the coaches say you're special when you're a true freshman who just got here, you're probably a special player. But I also didn't realize how bad our defense was going to be this year.So far this year he has run for 5.6/carry.
Roy Helu's posted 40 time was in the 4.7s on Rivals when Callahan recruited him. I would say he was plenty fast.I don’t ever put much stock in Rivals 40 times. Some kids have electronic times from camps when they were younger, etc. Last year people were concerned because Miles Jones profile showed a slow 40 time and he was one of the best sprinters in America. Also a lot of handwringing over Martinez 40 time in his profile and it turned out that was from a camp the summer after his freshman year of HS. On the other hand some guys self report 40 times that are way too fast. We’ve had so many guys with 4.4’s listed in their profiles that turned out to be slow.

He’s right. Did you see Wyatt today? He finished with more yards and higher yards per carry. Washington is so overhyped…What?
