He didn't dance, he didn't fumble. He got up field, made guys miss, and finished runs hard.

Only A-Day, but I think he definitely sent a message to the other backs that the line for playing time is still behind him. And he sent a message to opposing defenses that he's got something to prove.

I know it's only A-Day but people who were putting Yeldon in a coffin were just overreacting to Henry's awesomeness in the Sugar Bowl.

TJ Yeldon is on track to break Shaun Alexander's career rushing record and he's set to do it in only three years. It took Shaun Alexander four years to break the previous record holder's record.

Also...2013 Yeldon was right on par with 2012 Yeldon stats wise.

2012 Rushing Yards: 1,108 yards
2013 Rushing Yards: 1,235 yards

2012 YPC: 6.3
2013 YPC: 6.0

2012 Rushing TDs: 12
2013 Rushing TDs: 14

Coming from a Yeldon doubter...I'll be happy as frick to eat my words. He looked explosive and he seemed he was out there to prove something. I like that Yeldon. I'm really excited about this year...I kind of love the unknown aspect of this season. Fall really needs to get here.

Yeah it looks like Yeldon's getting his "burst" back after beefing up and losing a step or so last year....JMHO
