🏈 Video: Best RB' s in Bama history...

[TUSKtimes]

My one takeaway of the Bama montage, no running back ran away from a defense with the explosion and power of one Derrick Henry.

we've definitely had some good ones and some great ones. we've had some that had good seasons one year, then not so good the next. we've had some that just got better season after season. and we've had some that didn't pan out as we'd hoped.

i have a friend that told me this last year, and again this year, and i agree with it wholeheartedly.....

"if anyone ever asks me who i think the best running back at Alabama is, i'll always tell them Derrick Henry. nobody could stop the guy. other teams knew he was getting the ball, and they couldn't stop him. so, to me, he will always be the best running back Alabama's ever had."

I can't believe that Alabama didn't have a good/great running back before 1985. Musso, Nathan, Ogilvie, Davis?

He's 1A and Shaun Alexander is 1B (and on any other given day of the week, I could switch that order). Just think how dominant Alexander would have been with a Saban-caoched OL!

Siran Stacy was pretty close.

Did it look like that Bama back in this video, did a lot of punishment again LSU was the most than maybe next OleSiss, UGA in black!, Arkansas

 

[musso]

Personally, one of the most, if not THE most, underrated RBs in recent memory was Kenneth Darby. Pound for pound, the most physical and explosive. Plus, during a time when we didn't really have a dominating OL or consistent passing game.

yeah Darby really got a raw deal with that O-line

The human turnstile, Chris Capps, would likely say, "Hey! I resemble that remark!"

That Auburn game still makes me want to kick a puppy... who remembers the Tennessee game when Brodie had just got to the point where he was backpedaling as much as he could and then chunking up a jump ball and hope DJ Hall or Keith Brown would come down with it? Its insane how much one player (Prothro) could hide the deficiencies of that team.

Must have been the 6-3 game with the heave to Hall. Brodie probably was sacked half a dozen times before the Harper fumble/comeback. Besides that 5 OT game is still too painful to remember.

It bad enough that he got his head handed to him. I'm still a little tee off bout Sunday morning, at church wasn't great that morning.

That'd be the one, Brodie's only offense the whole game was the chunk and pray. He literally had guys in his face from the moment he snapped the ball so it was the ole back pedal as far as you can and heave it as far as you can. As lazy and selfish as some think/thought Hall was you knew if you threw one up he was damn sure gonna damn near kill himself to pull it in tho.
