Bo Scarbrough is....a different kind of cat. I expect him to carry the ball Saturday. How much will depend on how effective he is. He is a grown arse man though, we probably have him for two years anyway, so we'll use him.

When has Saban not played someone he thought would help the team?
If they think Scarborough is ready to bring something to the table, he'll be on the field Saturday.

I'll be shocked if he isn't on the field Saturday in an offensive role if he's 100%.
I think he has the natural talent to jump Harris instantly(no knock, Bo is just a freak of nature who has a reduced freshman curve because of said athleticism), he can spell both RB roles.
Imagine that slot mismatch...

Yeah Bo can operate out of the slot and do some major damage. If he gets matched up on a corner or small safety, FEED HIM!

I'm with you. Bo didn't get up to 240 to play a traditional RB role. I'm hoping that he can be our next Fowler.
It seems to make the most sense, but Saban has addressed that he wants to get back to having two TEs on the field, something that we abandoned due to Fowler's ability.
We also gotta be thinking ahead. He'd be great this year as a FB type player, but next year we will need him at RB, considering Drake and Henry will be gone.

I could see him getting on the field in kick coverage.

Bo is a player the HUNH can really abuse. If crosstrained enough, he can line up anywhere and a defense won't be able to sub to match him.
Line him up in the backfield at H-Back and sneak him out in the flat like they have Mullaney this year.

quote:Have you all not been watching Bama play the past 7 years. How long did it take for Robert Foster to see the field? How many meaningful snaps did Hand get last year? Reuben Foster? Evans, Williams? I mean some guys come in and play, but that seems to be few and far between. All I know is if he were at Georgia he'd be getting touches. Richt does a far better job than Saban at getting his young talent on the field early.

Yes, and every year I have seen true freshmen get significant playing time.

What makes you think these guys were ready to see meaningful snaps? Just because they were 5 stars? That is an ignorant line of thinking.

Care to post a comparison of Saban and Richt's records and accomplishments in the past 7 years?

bitch don't put words in my mouth. If you can't handle the truth then so be it. We've been losing the past 2 years regardless if you hadn't notice, especially when we are on the big stage.

No need to get defensive because your opinion is asinine.

And it has nothing to do with not starting true freshman. If it does, please give me specific examples-
Which true freshman would've kept 5 turnovers from happening against OM?
Which true freshman would've stopped OSU, and OM from beating us last year?
Which true freshman would've kept Chris Davis from running a a FG back for a TD on us?

Nick Chubb barely saw the field until Gurley went down, fwiw

And Saban holds higher standards of on the field responsibility. Not to say one method is above the other, but....count the rings. Mark Richt's best has been Saban's worst sans 2007.
Not every freshman can play(it's impossible), but several break rotations every season(this year is no different). Being a early enrollee helps a lot, but isn't dealbreaker.
Robert Foster had maturity issues, Hand couldn't break a stout rotation at End, Reuben had to learn how to play smarter, Evans was transitioning to OLB and the roles in the defense, as was Williams along with putting on weight.
And most of those names became better players for it. Robert Foster was the #1 WR before he went down, Hand has a firm grasp of a spot in the 2 deep, Reuben calls freaking plays and aligns players now on defense, and Evans is seeing more time as he still adapts to the full responsibilies at OLB.

I wanna see Henry in the backfield, and since we love the jet sweep, run it with Bo. Hell, just with Henry, Coker, and Bo in the backfield, that's over 700lbs.

I didn't say start them nor did I say it would have stopped us from losing. What I'm saying is we don't get the guys on the field in any meaningful times of the game. Them playing is vital to the development

None, but Evans and Williams could have added some speed on the edges that we needed.

None, but putting Foster out there instead on Christian Jones predictable arse and White could have thrown a wrinkle we could have possibly capitalized on.
If you get guys worked into the system early, come time to step up they could be ready. Hell, Saban wasn't going to play Henry at all until he threatened to leave. Granted Henry said he wasn't ready right away, but the kid could have gotten more meaningful snaps earlier in the season to let him progress. He could have mad a difference in the Iron Bowl, but we will never know.

You will be the first one to bash Saban if he put Bo in the game Saturday and he gets hurt or fumbles the ball in a crucial situation. Bo might be all world, but he hasn't played live game action in a long time. He will need time to adjust to everything. You can't just throw him out there and say go carry the ball 15 times.
