KJ amd KP are not 100 % but Gus trust them for pass blocking KJ is in better shape injury wise.
Martin, Miller and Barrett does not pass block well. Martin is juried (foot). Barrett will see more action as he learns the offense more.

Had a discussion with people in the stands Saturday and this was the basic consensus. He really trusts KJ and Pettway to protect. He is using which ever one is the most healthy. The other guys will have to be brought along to get more carries.

It is more difficult than just sticking guys in the line up and letting them play.

Coaches are strange when it comes to RBs and what allows them to be starters.

Remember when Kenny irons had a great spring but in the fall Tuberville didn't name the starter? They tried Tre Smith and we went over to GT and got beat.. we had no run game. irons got 1 carry because he wasn't a good blocker. In the next few weeks he started to emerge as a game changer. now all of a sudden it didn't matter he was not a good blocker. Lol.

Maybe this is same stuff happening to Martin and Miller.
