Yeah, he doesn't have those quick feet others RBs have, but north and south he's scary to try and bring down. Neither AU nor Mizzou wanted any part of that, especially in the 4th quarter.

Henry is looking really good on the sweeps but TJ appears to be much more shifty running inside. I love to watch him run. If he is near 100 per cent, OSU is in for a long day. I think they are anyway.
Two Key notes: Kiffin will be back and Yeldon is gone. Hopefully, we wont see no more threads on that 
Yea I like the power sweep play we have been running. I guess I meant more like the zone read with Henry where if Henry gets the ball the play goes to the outside. However, on those sweep plays he has time to pick up a head of steam..
I think Henry will progress and be a load re: next season. Plus we will be deep behind him w/some change of pace type runners. If we can win it all this year, we may be in for a special run once again. Great to be a Bama fan. RTR.

Re-watching the SECCG it looked like at the time Yeldon had those quick bursts coming back. Once we got that big lead we didn't need for him to run though when we had two other healthy backs.
Something is telling me we will have a ready Yeldon for the playoff games.

I don't think we have seen a healthy Yeldon in quite a few games. Some of us have forgotten what a force he is when is he at or near 100%. Henry can likely handle a large number of carries and get the job done.
I am a little worried about the depth and experience at running back for this game. There have been several new wrinkles recently in the backfield with Henry and Fowler both in the backfield and leading blocks after a handoff to a wideout. I don't want to see the playbook limited due to injuries.

So do I, but earlier in season and leading up to Championship game, folks were complaining about Sweep plays... I guess the coaches know what works and what didn't work, it all comes down to execution of the play. Mark Ingram wasn't good on sweep plays? Can someone refresh my memory?
I guess this is one of the most popular things to say lately, but some of his most explosive runs have been a bounce to the outside. But, I get it...
It's hasn't been limited as of late, at least to me. If anything, Lane found a way to open it up again.

I agree but bouncing a run outside is different than a running play designed to the outside. I wasn't saying Henry is slow or anything, he just doesn't have those fast feet like Yeldon. Henry is more of a long strider so its harder for him to make people miss and explode laterally. Seems like it would make more sense to call plays to the strength of the running back..
Today is media day, which tends to mean absurd questions and players getting more camera time than normal.
Saban meeting with the media first...
Coach Saban: "I think as a head coach the biggest thing I have changed in is human behavior it's more about helping the players"
Saban: "Urban Meyer is a fantastic coach and has done a great Job"
Saban "what kind of value does a coach create for a university? There is an amount someone is worth based on that"
Saban "you start from scratch on a teams tendencies are and try to build a plan, they (OSU) have very good players, great balance"
Saban: "Anybody can beat anyone on any particular day"
Saban said he lets team decide curfew. "OK, you decided it so we shouldn't have any issues."
Saban said kicker Adam Griffith is as healthy as he's been since start of season and kicking well
Saban talks about where he wants his legacy/impact to be, how much he enjoys developing college players as people. NFL more businesslike.
Nick Saban asked by NY reporter about Jets job/complete control: his response"Let's start by saying I have no interest in any NFL situation"
Saban doesn't text, Tweet or email. "When I was a kid, I learned how to speak to somebody and look them in eye."
Nick Saban on (lack of) interest in technology: "I do get text messages and I read them. I just don't know how to send them back."

Alabama media day coming up on ESPN.
The graphic on the left says we lost last 2 sugar bowl appearances. Are they forgetting our 21-0 win against LSU? That was the championship game..but it was the Sugar bowl.
