I actually think Filkins shows flashes of being a special running back some day. Brenden Barrow has a little kick to him too. Honestly, I'd much rather see a healthy/hungry younger guy play than watch EJ run out of bounds to avoid contact like he did last time out. Put it this way, I think the outcome of the game would be the same with or without EJ playing. You could put McCaffery back there, and I doubt it would be enough. :( Hope I'm wrong.
You are probably right. We had McCaffrey in 2016 and look what happened.
Both Smith and Filkins' durability was questionable going into the season based on what happened last year. I had hoped, however, that it would be a little bit longer before they started going down.
P.S. The Seattle papers are saying the Husky QB is starting to get some H-man hype based on his performance against MSU. Hopefully it doesn't take a big step up based on his performance against us.
