TERRY MOSHER<\/p>\n

TOP OF THE TOWN<\/strong>\u2011 It is not surprising Washington was dropped from the college football polls (coaches and AP) top 25. The Huskies have good talent, but for the most part it\u2019s inexperienced and young. It takes time to put a party together. It takes coordination from everybody and it\u2019s not any different when you are talking about a football team. I see some players starting to emerge \u2013 tight end Hunter Bryant (although he didn\u2019t have a very good game Saturday against Stanford with a few too many drops), defensive back Elijah Molden, DB Myles Bryant\u2019s credentials were already established, linebacker Joe Tryon, linebacker Brandon Wellington, receiver Puka Nacua (he\u2019s not quite in the limelight yet, but will be), DB Cameron Williams (his talent is very evident), DB Asa Turner, DB Trent McDuffie (like Williams, he\u2019s a keeper),\u00a0 running back Sean McGrew (he\u2019s small, but tough), running back Salvon Ahmed (the quickest of the quick), DB Keith Taylor, running back Richard Newton (he\u2019s my favorite, but now is injured), linebacker Kyler Manu, kicker Tim Horn, place kicker Peyton Henry, OL Jaxson Kirkland, linebacker Ryan Bowman, OL Nick Harris (maybe the best along the line) and tight end Cade Otton. As you see, I do not name any defensive lineman. Not that there isn\u2019t talent there, but I have not noticed any of them stepping forward. Molden is probably the one for me that has made the greatest strides. He seems to always be around the ball. Molden is a former high school 6A all-state player from West Linn, Oregon. He\u2019s a junior. Williams and McDuffie are going to be big stars. Williams, a freshman, was a three-year quarterback at Bakersfield High School in California. McDuffie is also a freshman and was highly decorated coming out of St. John Bosco High School in Westminster, California (I just remembered one of the three guys that I left Portville, NY with in January of 1960 for California wound up his last years living in Westminster.) Harris is the Huskies center and the most important guy on the OL for the Huskies, more so then even 6-foot-8, 314-pound left tackle Trey Adams, the most coveted player on the line by most experts who will probably be a high draft pick. \u2026 No big surprised Jay Gruden was fired as Washington Redskins coach. The \u2018Skins are 0-5 this year and were 35-49-1 overall under Gruden, who was the fifth coach fired by owner Dan Snyder since he took over in 1999.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know what is wrong with the Redskins other than Snyder is always at the center of some controversy. Maybe it\u2019s time for new ownership. That\u2019s it for today.<\/p>\n

Be well pal.<\/p>\n

Be careful out there.<\/p>\n

Have a great day.<\/p>\n

You are loved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
