I didn't say it couldn't happen and "I'm all for having guys break trends." I was just pointing out the reasons it's not just about talent to run the ball.
Question: How do you feel about the Running Backs this year?
- Thread starter Tide&True
- Start date
Thing is - Alabama has at least 4 RBs who would start on almost every college team. That is insane depth at a position that requires insane depth.
I think that's a real possibility. We've only seen him in a small sample but he looks the part IMO.
Najee has a lot of physical tools but I'm not as sold on him as I'd like to be (I worry he lacks vision and he has got to stop the hurdling or he's going to get hurt).
Aside from blocking, the RB position is not much different from HS to college - even for SEC backs. These guys were great in HS. They are far from unproven.
A lot of the time the new flavor of the month seems better than the old one but in most cases it is not. As you say, that is not typically how it plays out at Bama under Saban and I don't expect it to happen.
Brian Robinson may be the best running back on the team. And thats not a shot at najee. B rob is criminally undervalued by this fan base
I am looking forward to being pleasantly surprised!......again, I like our chances..........roll tide
Yes, especially as a receiving threat out of the backfield. I like our RBs as a group. Not sure what the pecking order will be by mid-season, but I think overall they'll be very productive.
He was a great coach but it looks like we got a good RB coach in Charles Huff. He coached up one of the best ever at Penn St.
Most of the fan base seems to think that he is great. There have just been guys in front of him who the coaches deemed more ready to play as complete players. Robinson has shown me great power and burst. I think he and Harris will be the best one-two punch in the country even though we haven't seen either of them as a featured back yet. I want to see our line move people and watch these guys run over defenses to break their spirit. I'm looking forward to seeing the balance that we should be able to have this year.
