Henry is a beast.

Drake has ran well this season, I think it should be Yeldon 1, Henry 2a, Drake 2b.

Henry is going to be sooo good. I can't wait until he gets 10+ carries a game.

Like I said we were missing a good punch in our inside zone runs.

I can't remember a Bama back with less ball security than drake. I still would not be surprised if he ends up at corner next year. I think he has a better shot of surviving/making the NFL there.

He is to talented a runner to be put at defensive back. And you act like he is small. He probably weighs 210 pounds.

Yeldon and Drake both had 4 fumbles this year...

I genuinely believe we beat AU convincingly if Drake gets half the carries in the second half of that game. ifs and buts.

Drake also had a higher rate of fumbles, if you recall he touched the ball less than Yeldon.

I think I didn't word that quite correctly. I would be surprised but not shocked if drake is a corner next year. And drake's fumbles seem to occur when he switches arms or he is running fast and not keeping it high and tight. Yeldon's seemed to be more of the "hat on the ball" type fumbles.

This is stupid. Surely you are joking? Drake is a badass running back who needs to be given the ball. Our offense is better when he is getting carries.

The order gets shuffled pretty regularly. I'd wait to see if it sticks over the next couple practices before reading anything into it.

I'm ready for the flames, but Drake > Yeldon. Yeldon dances in the backfield and Drake hits the hole. That's my opinion.

Drake is faster and more explosive, but Yeldon has better vision and more power. Both has fumbling problems.

TJ danced this year, but not last year. Maybe it was just apart of some "Sophomore Slump". Even though he didn't slump, well he sorta did.

I agree. Drake is a better back than Yeldon.

Henry always looks one step from takin it to the house to me...that burst will be hard to defend when he starts getting 10+ carries.... going to be awesome to watch, when he learns how to block

I wonder what Drake's tweets mean? IS HE GONE?
