Any news on his hammy this week? Is he able to practice this week? I know Henry and Drake can carry the load but I believe we need him too.
We need TJ for this game so I will be worried until I see him lining up at RB.I'm not worried about who will be carrying the ball. In assuming Yeldon will be good to go though..
I disagree that we need Yeldon to win the game. I would love for him to be 100% and we have a better chance to win with him playing, but I don't think we would lose if he didn't play at all. JMO..We need TJ for this game so I will be worried until I see him lining up at RB.
I agree we can win without him but I like having our first team RB going into big SEC game. TJ has been in this situation a lot.I disagree that we need Yeldon to win the game.

Love ya (in a manly way) 'Sip, but no......Drake is playing with fire coming off the bench. Henry wants to be the man. Start Henry with Drake coming off the bench and they both play better.Hamstrings are tough. I hope TJ's ready.
If not, the biggest Derrick Henry fan on this board declares, start Kenyan Drake.
IMO, Derrick's been slow to the hole and isn't playing with fire, while Kenyan is playing his butt off and is on a quest to prove himself.
Don't show me statistics--they're similar.
But Kenyan, from what I've seen thus far, is more determined than Derrick, team wise.
Every opinion I ever state is, "as of right now".
As of right now, if T.J. doesn't start, I'd start Kenyan.

Exactly. Henry is "thunder" and Drake is "lightning" in that combination. Of course that is if TJ doesn't play which I hope is not the case.Love ya (in a manly way) 'Sip, but no......Drake is playing with fire coming off the bench. Henry wants to be the man.

Tj is the hurricane!Exactly. Henry is "thunder" and Drake is "lightning" in that combination. Of course that is if TJ doesn't play which I hope is not the case.
Allright, I'm counting on you, as coach, to make the right decision! And you better be right!!Love ya (in a manly way) 'Sip, but no......Drake is playing with fire coming off the bench. Henry wants to be the man. Start Henry with Drake coming off the bench and they both play better.
If I'm the coach then we're all in trouble! Forget which 2nd string RB to start in #1 can't go, forget who to start at QB, if I'm coach our title hopes are out the window faster than a stolen laptop in Cam Newton's apartment! Roll Tide!Allright, I'm counting on you, as coach, to make the right decision! And you better be right!!
Go both of them, if necessary.

I actually agree with starting Drake. I, like you, see more fire in Drake right now, whether it's to prove himself or not.Hamstrings are tough. I hope TJ's ready.

I like Drake. He may not always know where he is going, but he gets there in a hurry.I actually agree with starting Drake. I, like you, see more fire in Drake right now, whether it's to prove himself or not.
I agree with you Sip that Henry's been slow to the hole, but I think it is injury related. Listening to CNS pressor post game, he said that Henry has a sore shoulder and I wonder if that is why he didn't look as good. Drake may need to start and I agree he looks really good. I also liked in what I saw of Tyron Jones.Hamstrings are tough. I hope TJ's ready.
