(Do We Target) Another portal RB? (This year) (watch teaser titles)

[davefrat]

I don’t think we used Gibbs right this year. He just wasn’t going to get tough yards. I always want to see McClellan lined up outside with Gibbs at RB, motion Gibbs to slot, then motion McClellan to RB. You could of ran a lot of different plays out of that. We could of thrown to Gibbs well out of it. Ran what we use to call a wing back trap, or reverse. And of course ran power with McClellan.

i was definitely hoping to see more 2 back sets and splitting Gibbs out in the slot.

idk a lot about football, but that seemed like a no brainer.

If needed we can probably get a good back off waivers mid season.

Let’s not forget Emmanuel Henderson. Played RB in high school but has played some as a freshman at receiver and on special teams.

 

[Bama Lee]

Our RB room is fine. Especially with two freshmen coming in next year. But I agree with GreyTide that we should have more concern with offensive line

 

[bamaga]

So if you guys are right, what if Jase M gets hurt? We're left depending on RW and a little used back in Miller and true Freshmen. Not a good place to be IMO. Another back with experience may be a good idea.

Jeez man, the running back room next year will be stacked! If you want a change of pace, Henderson can move back to RB. I’m sure he has put on some muscle by now.

In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with McClellan or Roydell. Just feed them the ball.

THIS!!!!!

THIS!!!!!

Seems like OCs at Bama forget often to Run Da Ball

a prayer..

O benevolent ones [mods/admins], grant me the power to move this to the existing transfer portal thread.

And block…definitely need to block.

This!!! We seemed to do better in pass blocking as the year went on. But, run blocking just wasn’t up to standard. Need some Road Graders up front. Run da ball!!!

They like it when you capitalize and make it red and bigger.

 

[4Q Basket Case]

To answer the OP, I think the board consensus is, “Not no, but hell no!”

 

[bamacon]

What we NEED?

We need an OC and DC in the coaching portal!!!

Trent Richardson, TJ Yeldon, Mark Ingram, Najee Harris all played significant minutes as true freshman, I think you’re underestimating our ability to have talent at that position. We’ll be fine

 

[OBMS]

And block…definitely need to block.

This is the correct answer. If we are going to throw the ball 40 times a game we need to take the "stacked" running back room and teach them to pass block.

I second that, these guys ran the ball hard the more reps they got.

You do realize Sark left 2 years ago, right? BO'B ain't even recognizing that much less doin' it.

 

[twofbyc]

Alabama picked up Gibbs because you had no one coming back who you knew would be healthy and ready to go. Too many injuries.

Next year you have a great RB room. Absolutely no need to bring in a RB

Probably one of if not the least position of need. Want is another issue entirely.

 

[twofbyc]

Well if you can't see a dropoff from Gibbs to McClellan, I can't help you. Nobody we have is as good as Judkins with OM or Sanders with Arky.

You do know Ole Miss had an All American OL, right? Did Bama have one of those? I’m going to guess and say not.even.close.
And if you don’t think THAT matters, then I can’t help you.
See how that works?
