🏈 Is Deep Running Back Room Capable of Bringing Back Smash-Mouth Alabama Football?

We may have a deep running back room but I do not see us going back to the early CNS days of pounding the ball all the time.

Yep....got good RBs but can we stay healthy...

A deep OL room that can block for the run would be better. Don't recall when Bama has had either, much less both.

We got the beef with McClellan, Williams, and Young. Miller and Haynes gives us the speed and hands.

Let’s don’t throw around the word “deep”. We all remember what happened the last time we used that word with the RB room. Injuries, transfers and Derrick Henry ends up toting the rock a 1/2 million times the 2nd half of the season!! Not that it hurt us!!!

Our running backs have been pretty good in recent years, the difference has been the O-line capability to create openings and block at the 2nd level. I can't tell you how many times linebackers have had free runs at our RBs. We weren't winning or pushing back the point of attack either.

Who was the one that had the long run against Kansas St.? I was watching his run and though of Henry, but the commentators were thinking Jacob. To, me his up body looks like Henry to me. Just the way he carries the ball.
