Bama backs are used to being slow to hit the LOS, because their OL were slow in developing holes. See Trent Richardson and Mark Ingrams issues in the NFL. Same issues will follow Yeldon.
huh? Ingram's and Richardson's Olines were dominant at run blocking in college.
Yeldon was very successful running the ball in 2013 and 2014 with sub par run blocking.
What kind of point are you trying to make?

I did not say they weren't, which was the problem when they got to the NFL. Their running style fit Bama's big, yet slow OL. By the time they got to the LOS, there usually was a hole to run through. In the NFL, those holes have a short life expectancy, which results in those runs of less than 1 yard for the slower backs. That is why I have said, if Yeldon and Mason had the other teams OL, neither would have been 1000 yard rushers.
