Posted on 1/24/15 at 1:42 pm
Next poll, who will be taking handoffs from Jacob Coker? Will it be Derrick Henry, who is Tarzan in space but Jane in the tackles? Or Kenyan Drake, the explosive RB/WR with fumblitis? Or the young upstart Tyren Jones, who showed flashes of brilliance in the 3rd string role?
Your choices:
Derrick Henry
Kenyan Drake
Tyren Jones
Bo Scarbrough
Damien Harris
DeSherrius Flowers
Here is mine:
1. Tyren Jones
2. Derrick Henry (RB/FB, like Nudie)
3. Kenyan Drake (used more as a WR)
4. Bo Scarbrough
5. Damien Harris
6. DeSherrius Flowers (RS)
And the results are (with a lot less votes than last time)
Rank | Name | Avg Rank
1. Derrick Henry [1.4]
2. Tyren Jones [2.5]
3. Kenyan Drake [2.5]
4. Damien Harris [4.0]
5. Bo Scarbrough [4.4]
6. DeSherrius Flowers [6.0]

Drake/Jones (Drake used as a receiver a lot more, Jones maybe getting more carries)
Bo Scarbrough
Damien Harris
DeSherrius Flowers (RS)

By mid year....
Harris
Henry
Drake
Jones
Bo Scar
Flowers (RS)
Unless Henry hits up the the squat rack like a monster all spring and comes in stronger from the waist down and able to run inside and not get tripped up so easily.

Henry "starting"/getting the most carries...around 14 per game.
Jones and Bo splitting reps after that... Jones around 9 and Bo around 6. This will fluctuate as they prove themselves or struggle.
Drake will be used EVERYWHERE. Carries out of the backfield as well as lining him up all over the field. He was getting around 5 touches per game last year and I think that would have greatly increased as the year went on. With the amount of guys leaving I would like to see him at 10+ touches per game.
Harris will be brought in slowly and really have to earn his carries.

I think about halfway through the season, the staff will be comfortable enough with Harris in the 3rd spot, to play Scarbrough in Fowlers position a little.

D Harris will probably be Bama's most talented pure RB from the moment he arrives.

If this is even remotely close to ever happening, it will prove once and for all that HS accomplishments mean absolutely zero when evaluating college talent. The guy broke a record once held by Barry effing Sanders. Does that mean he's not a good RB? No. But he sure isn't Barry Sanders. How has he performed relative to what you would expect from allegedly the greatest HS RB in history? Go back and pull up some old stats on Max Preps. 100+ yard games against good teams and 300+ yard games against against crappy teams. Don't get me wrong, the guy has done a good job for us. But expectations are a heck of a lot higher for the all time HS yardage leader.

1. Drake
2. Henry
3. Jones
4. Harris
5. Scarbrough
I've heard a few say that Harris will take a RS, but it doesn't hurt to have another horse in the stable if they're gone in three years anyway.
