IMO Howard and Cooper's gonna have a big game. I also think that Yeldon goes for over 100yds.

He has insane speed and cutting ability for his size, but still not as good as someone smaller. I think he will be fine though. I see him being a household name if he can get the whole blocking thing down. That's his weak point at the moment, not anything to do with his actual running.

When you are 6'3" and 240 then you don't concentrate on cutting but making small linebacker and defensive back regret trying to tackle you. He has 4.52 speed when he breaks into the open so then they have to worry about catching him.

11 out of your last 14 threads, now, are about Auburn.

Howard especially. He creates tremendous match up problems for AU.

Gonna have to disagree with you on Yeldon being the best RB in the country right now. I really really like Yeldon. He's a stud.

Buuuuut you haven't seen much of Ka'deem Carey or Andre Williams have you? As much as I like Yeldon (even as an LSU fan), Carey and Williams are best two backs in the country.

ETA: don't wanna hear people say that Williams doesn't play anybody. He shredded FSU's defense.

Completely agree on the point of your post though.... Yeldon is so good that losing him is gonna hurt to some extrent regardless who steps in for him.

Just don't agree on statement used to make it.

he might tackle him, but not before he goes for a ride on the Henry pain train.

on a related note, it would be very entertaining to watch Jake Holland try to tackle Henry.

Also, this is puzzling. I realize you always seem confused about everything Auburn, even though you try so hard to act educated... However, this is simply untrue.

Cass McKinzy: 6'3, 246 pounds
Kris Frost: 6'2, 238 pounds
Anthony Swain: 6'2, 239 pounds
Kenny Flowers: 6'1, 240 pounds
Jake Holland: 6'1, 240 pounds

And keep in mind, Dee Ford, Carl Lawson, and LaDarius Owens also stand up and act like linebackers sometimes.

Ask Todd Gurley what he thinks about Cass McKinzy.

He is averaging more than 10 yards a carry*


*granted most of it is in mop up duty or against non BCS schools but still

I'm not saying he can't be a successful back, but there's a reason you don't see many RB's built like Henry despite the fact that the country is full of 100m sprinters that look like him.

I didn't think he was saying Yeldon was the best back in the country, just that he was one of the top backs.

I was called and told that he's going to get more carries and TOS and BOL are reporting that he's not practicing with the scout team.

Henry has been practicing on the scout team most of the year. This week he's been with the 1s and 2s. Like I said, looks like he's going to get some extra carries against AU. It's a good match up for this game.
