grandpasknee Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I did hear from someone that used to work for the team and still has contacts that Washington had a bit of a fit about the O-line and was totally unhappy and considering 'life'. But that is far from inside information and despite my confidence in it, still probably best considered rumor. 1 Quote Link to comment
wiuhusker Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I think a lot of our RB and definitely Martinez and Bunch were considering life after running for it all game Saturday. Just need to get through this year without any of the young guns sustaining some sort of significant injury. As for Washington being unhappy I think i'll chalk this one up to him being young and immature. I'm sure the coaches will set him straight and hopefully he can get things figured out as he has a damn bright future for us. 1 Quote Link to comment
PlzCoolerMe Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Per Callahan, Washington is expected back at practice tomorrow... ...God, let’s hope so. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I know that he has had a hard life, but looking at Washington's high school history, it will be a minor miracle if he completes 3 years in Lincoln. 3 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I'm hoping it's just frustration. I'm sure its hard to share time with 2 other backs. I'm sure he's frustrated with OL play...I'm hoping he is at practice tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
TheSker Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 2 hours ago, Vince R. said: He did not practice today and Sean Callahan from HuskerOnline said he expects him to practice tomorrow. This type of thing is normal as Frost begins the process of roster upgrades. The linemen take the longest to develop. I think it's good that Washington is being open with the staff about his frustration. Quote Link to comment
grandpasknee Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Am I wrong to think / hope some teammates reached out and set him right and / or realed him back in. I think it would be grand if they did. Quote Link to comment

Not all of it was his fault. However, there comes a time in life that you make the most of what opportunities you ARE given. Now would be a good time for him to learn that life in general is full of bad Olines in front of you (metaphorically speaking), and do what you can to overcome. If not, opportunities to shine are going to be fewer and farther between. 3 Quote Link to comment

He is co-second team with Washington. Bell -OR- Ozigbo then Washington -OR- Jones. Don't know why he hasn't played but you don't care anyway. Depth chart for Purdue game from the presser today.

Husker03 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I will apologize for my tone less than 24 hours after the worst D-1 o line performance I have ever seen. I do care about Miles Jones, I was more saying I don’t much care about a 3rd-5th string running back when our 1-3rd stringers averaged a half a yard per tote. I read it as a call for another guy that may be the answer and I overreacted. Y’all are right. He may be hurt. He may be having school troubles. He may be holding onto a redshirt? But I will say. I’m sorry for what I said when I was sad. 3 Quote Link to comment

ScottyIce Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Honestly, if he’s that upset after everything Frost and Co. have done for him and skipping practice than adios buddy. 3 Quote Link to comment

ScottyIce Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 If he’s part of the problem than I don’t care how talented he is. If this is all wreckless “reporting then forget about all this nonsense and let’s play a competitive game on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment
