Mo Washington

[Hayseed]

I went through Missouri Valley , Iowa and some people said they don’t like to be called Mo Valley.

If Ditka says Walter invented it, then Walter invented it.  

He actually meant Walter Camp. Common misunderstanding. :dumdum

I'm going to miss Ozigbo but Washington had his moments this season.  Does Nebraska throw to him more next year?  Hope he can stay healthy.

I knew I remembered a lot of flashes he had this year but when you put them all together it's an exceptional reminder about how special he could be. It's also a reminder that he probably needs a bit more weight for durability purposes. A couple of those hits this year sent him flying about 63 yards.. roughly.

Yes I agree.  When he leaped over the guy at Michigan State he got hit and went down pretty instantly.  He's not particularly beefy.  I do think he is a special talent.

Not quite sure how adding weight would make a difference when you’re airborne and get hit.

Well, I can say I have added a ton of weight over the years and it helps in the sense that I cant get airborne.

Cant get hit in the air, if you cant get into the air.

If Mo puts in the off-season work that Ozigbo did, then lookout m'fers!

Age is a great teacher.

6-1 210 and you got Adrian Peterson that can catch

I think I’d rather see Mo as a receiver. Get him loose in space... scary.

Although we lose the big physical back in Ozigbo, and will miss him dearly, I'm truly looking forward to a backfield of Martinez, Washington, and the mixture of Wandale, Rahmir Johnson, and Thompkins assuming he's healthy.

The athleticism is there but in my personal opinion I think we see WR out of the slot most of the time, though he will get carries here and there.

The hit at 1:32 where he crosses the pylon and gets leveled... you can tell dude just got rocked and is in no mood to celebrate anything except that he still has his life.

I understand wanting to get the ball to him in space more. But moving him to the slot means we lose the mismatch of him on a LB. Now that's not to say he won't be in the slot at all but I just don't see it happening a ton. I could be wrong though.
