I know TJ is bigger but he just doesn't run behind his pads which makes him easier to bring down. Now I'm not downing TJ. He could start just about anywhere, but it seems Drake is harder to bring down. I know he has a lower center of gravity.

Wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.

Drake runs like a bat out if hell from the snap. It's great, it's been working. But his vision might as well be zero. I love the guy but all he does is grab the ball and duck his head and run until someone trips him.

Yeldon isn't as fast as Drake and needs SOLID blockers to be 100% effective but he can shake guys in a phone booth. And at his size it's amazing. And he almost NEVER gets taken down by one guy. He's had tackles for loss more impressive than drakes best run. And Drake has made me a fan of his.

Hmmmm. Guess you haven't seen Yeldon get dropped, literally by his shoestrings, at least 2x/game.

Yeldon and Drake are both physical runners that get a lot of YAC. Do you even watch our games?

Am I missing the sarcasm here? Neither of them is a physical back.

How is it that, so far in this thread, Rickydaddy has the most objective take and accurate evaluation of Bama's RBs. He's even spot on with Fowler.
