You forgot the 4 sacks allowed.

kidding, figure pass pro is why he doesnt play much but the running game is so bad, who cares if the defense knows its a run if he is in. Hell, the defense knew it was a run on 4th and short when the RB gets in wildcat.

I’d wager pass protection and fumbling issues are likely why we haven’t seen him more. Coaches aren’t going to keep the better player on the bench just because.

We need to put him on a milk carton, because where in the frick is he? Our abysmal running game could probably benefit from utilizing our best running back

Think everyone is looking for answers, who knows what they really are.

Could be oline, could be oline coach, could be running backs but Hayes goes to Michigan and is playing good. Jam doesn't look like he did last year. He looked like our best back. ..it could be a combination of all the aforementioned issues. Kinda believe it's coaching more than anything

I think we may be making a change at OLC this offseason.

Same dude that called the entire RB room "a bunch of fricking losers" earlier this season, so maybe not the best guy to help solve any sort of riddle.

Thought this thread was going to be about Dennis Riddle. Tuscaloosa guy. Iron bowl hero!

We're 9 games into the season and our leading rusher is averaging 36 yards per game and 0.2 TDs per game.

I guess I was proven right

Doubling down on saying that about anyone on this team proves who the real loser is. What a douche.

At some point you just gotta trust the guys getting paid millions to coach football. They see all the backs at practice. Maybe hes hurt, maybe he cant pass block, maybe he fumbles every other carry in practice. We dont know
