Ardmore, AL; too close to 10erC
For reference:

Mark Ingram's Heisman trophy winning season:
14 games - 1658 rushing yards, 17 TDs

Brian Robinson last year:
14 games - 1336 rushing yards, 14 TDs

No, he's not Mark Ingram, but he wasn't chopped liver either.
And B-Rob played in a more pass heavy offense so I'd be interested to see the YPC stat as well.

Brian Robinson was a warrior big fan of him all year. And he also didn't have the OL had Ingram.

That said Ingram was averaging 6.1 ypc and BR was averaging 4.9.

It was a meniscus injury, but there were no more details given about degree, nor have I seen anything about him related to rehab, etc like seems to trickle out from other players who are working their way back...
I feel like I saw a video of him working with the RBs before the NCG or something. Seemed to be moving well at that point

Very odd stat: They both had 271 carries.

good stuff - Ingram was also running behind James Carpenter, Chance Warmack, Vlahos, Barrett Jones and DJ Fluker. Kinda wonder what Brob could do behind those guys...

Typically with knee injuries it takes a year just to be close to fully functional again. Sometimes longer. So I don’t expect to Jase nor Roydell to be much of a factor till late in the year. If I remember correctly didn’t camar have like a foot injury and then a meniscus tear? Either way I’d imagine he’d be back to normal by fall. I think it’s a heavy rotation of Gibbs and trey with a insignificant amount of carries split amongst camar, Jase, Roydell.

Don't underestimate Jamarion Miller. He is enrolled now so will have the spring season. He ran a 10.71 100m in high school track competition. For comparison Henry Ruggs set a state record in AL the 100m back in 2017 with a 10.58. And he is solidly built at 200 pounds.

Ruggs ran 10.42 that year, but ran 10.58 to win the state meet. Not a great comparison because 10.42 is another level from 10.71. Neither were true track guys, but Ruggs had speed on a level that Miller doesn't really compare to.

Thank you for taking down my argument. I think my point is that 10.71 is fast for a running back and the kid might get some play.

Gibbs is going to be a monster
[/QUO
Of course it isnt the narrative yet but JGibbs is the MOST elite combo inside/outside/physical RB in America and it is not close.A lot of wiggle also and tremendous vision. With Home Run wheels.Plus an elite ball-catcher and good in Pass-Pro. He will be hell in this Offense healthy!!!

I feel Jase can and will be healthy by the start of the season.There will be questions,of course,but if he is he will make a great 1-2 punch with Gibbs!

Not real sure about what Trey will do post April..Or Roydell...

Wheaton had a meniscus issue.Rehabbed too hard and suffered some knee cartliage damage.And for whatever reason,had Micro-fracture on that knee. I have not heard anything to think he wont be back ready to roll.We should hope so.He is that talented.

Jamarion Miller is a stud!!..And wont be real patient because he is really good and will be itching to play.And EHenderson is a VERY talented young man also.

After last year? It shows you cant have too many.Dont we deserve some better health?
