Doesn't matter who starts, they'll still split drives, so we'll still watch Washington eating shit for half the game. Of course, with our offensive line, all of our backs will probably be eating shit.

James Washington aiming high in senior year

Quote :

" Running back James Washington does not shy away from the fact that he has lofty goals for the Wolfpack's 2012 season. With six other projected senior starters on the offensive side of the ball, the speedy back thinks the unit could help the team accomplish some special things in the fall. "It's very exciting because starting from day one, we've all been together - from second team to first team," he said of his classmates rising through the program together. "As time has gone on, we've all gotten better and now we're able to take over. We'll push the offense to the next level. "Most of my goals are team goals. We want to win every game, we want to win an ACC Championship and we want to win a National Championship. Personally, for me, my goal is to get over that 1,000-yard hump, average 100 yards per game and add probably 500 receiving. That sounds good to me." The 6-foot, 199-pound Washington is coming off of a year in which he started every game - his first full college campaign - and finished with a team-best 897 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. He also added 42 receptions, which was second-best on the squad, for 315 yards. "I had a good year, but I could get better," he said. "I watched film every day and tried to get better in some way. I'm trying to make sure that next year we have a 1,000-yard rusher." If Washington seems intent on breaking 1,000 yards it is probably because he is, and it's something he even talked about last year. However, NC State hasn't had a back eclipse the century mark since 2002, when T.A. McLendon totaled 1,101 yards, and Washington's junior total was the program's highest rushing mark since McLendon's rookie year. If Washington is able to accomplish his goal, he'll have his linemen to thank. The front line features a trio of seniors along the interior in Camden Wentz, Andrew Wallace and Zach Allen, plus reserve redshirt junior Duran Christophe, and three talented tackles in redshirt senior R.J. Mattes, junior Robert Crisp and redshirt sophomore Tyson Chandler. If the unit can push Washington over the century mark, it's also going to mean a lot of doughnuts for the big men. In a practice the back started last fall, anytime Washington reaches 100 yards rushing in a game, he buys the linemen doughnuts. He happily did the honors three times last year, including in back-to-back games where he became the first Pack runner to eclipse 100 yards in consecutive games since Andre Brown in 2005. "It's a lot better running behind them than it was in the earlier days," Washington admitted. "We are all up in age now and we've all been playing together for a long time, so we gel a lot better now." Washington also noted that he is up to 199 pounds from last year's playing weight of 180. He feels stronger than ever before, thanks to new strength and conditioning coach Corey Edmond, but has not lost any of his trademark speed. "I'm trying to keep putting on more weight," he said. "I'm faster than ever, I'm one of the top three fastest guys on the team. It feels good to be bigger and still be fast. "I've noticed my legs have gotten a lot stronger. I've been able to squat more, I'm able to drop my hips and push people further than I used to and my core has gotten a lot stronger. Overall, I feel like I should be a stronger running back this year.""

Sweezy 2.0?

"“We are aware of the situation and appropriate action will be taken,” O’Brien said today. Greene, 20, of Irmo, S.C., had an outstanding warrant from a traffic stop in Rowan County when the Raleigh Police went to his off-campus apartment on April 2. According to a copy of the police report, a “grinder” for marijuana, with marijuana residue, was found in Greene’s possession.

Yes, because beating up a bus driver is the same as having weed paraphenlia.

Grinders are big timesavers---kid's got serious time mgmt and prioritization skills which undoubtedly will translate to success in his professional life

Actually Sweezy was busted with 3 other players including George Bryan for marijuana possession last year.

"*UPDATE 2* – The local media must’ve had this on the back-burner(sorry guys?) because they’ve come out with a slew of statements including a quote from TOB regarding the legal issues saying “‘We are aware of the situation and appropriate action will be taken”. They’ve also noted the citations are NOT the reason Greene is being held out of practice. It sure as hell can’t help though. Check out the twitter feeds from Joe Giglio from the N&O and Mark Armstrong from WTVD for those statements."

If Moose was going to be disciplined severely, TOB would already have him off the team. I don't think there's anything to worry about, Moose will get his scarlet letter over with and then he'll start in the fall. If he weren't so important to this team I think RED TOM would have cut him loose already.

RB depth chart should be

Moose
Creecy
Washington/Barnes

"RB depth chart should be Moose Creecy Washington/Barnes"

You've got that all backwards. Moose is coming off a injury that required surgery. I'd rather him come off the bench and ease back into it.

And Washington has started the past two years. I think Creecy showed he's a valuable back-up, but not enough to surpass Washington.

4/11/2012 3:58:29 PM

I see where you are coming from, but that's conservative and silly. Moose is obviously our best option, Creecy is a shining example of a third down back, and Washington has his moments. Moose will be fine -- you have to give him a majority of touches as long as he is healthy.

Moose breaks tackles, he's a monster. Washington can be good, but he gets stuffed at the line a lot too. Creecy is our best receiving back, by far. I suppose we'll see how it works out.

4/11/2012 4:04:48 PM

Moose was our best option in 2010 before surgery. I hope he can surpass everyone by the time we start ACC play.

I also hope Barnes wakes up and realizes he's been a slacker and hasn't done shit.

4/11/2012 4:15:21 PM

So I'm having a diy night and just finished replacing a toilet and decided to peruse the 1st page of last year's thread to see some predictions, and it confirmed to me that skooiann is a sport-genius

Quote :

"The new guys won't be better than the people leaving. Bryd and Smith are better talents, but I don't expect Archer's scheme to produce better results. The defense got better because of the blitzing and Irving applying pressure. Opposing receivers will still run free through our secondary. Cole doesn't have Irving's speed to get to the football, and manning doesn't have the power to penetrate. I doubt that both of them together will add up to irving. We will actually lose to UNC. MD will be a loss -- their QB is the real deal. Clemson FSU And 1 from GT, BC, Wake, UVA"
