I have lots of real discussion on the Bama board, but here it’s very hard.

I'm really excited to watch him next season. It seemed like Monken started figuring out how to unlock his full potential once Daniels took over.

Tyler Badie is going to get twice as many carries as he did last season, and as a receiver out of the backfield he is pretty deadly. I can definitely see him cracking the top ten.

#4 for LSU is going to be a good one.

As for Bama, Robinson will be #1 due to Saban's preference for veteran players. But this may be the most loaded RB rotation in Bama (possibly CFB) history. The stockpile of talent is just ridiculous.

Yeah. Cook finally flashed that Kamara potential.
Cooks biggest impediment on the year will be Zeus as the red zone workhorse.

That's fine. Cook doesn't need to be getting carries on power runs in the red zone anyways. That isn't his strength at all. Coley tried doing that with him repeatedly.

We need to use him the same way the Saints used Darren Sproles.

He is very soft and not very smart imo.

Our backfield is loaded. Can't wait to see our rushing attack this year. Will be the strength of the offense for sure.

Exactly and thank God we got an OC who finally knows how to use em.He's a mismatch for LB's covering out of the backfield or even lined up in the slot.

We missed em big time in the Peach Bowl.Cincy would have eventually got smoked be him with their blitzes off the corner.

My offer stands Aubies. Any two Bama backs, your choice, for Bigsby.

Thought this last year, but hopefully Emory finally displays his full potential.

7. Jerrion Ealy (OM)
8. James Cook (UGA)
9. Dameon Pierce (UF)
10. Trelon Smith (ARK)

Is it just me or does Ealy seem really low? Based on who is returning, not sure why he wouldn’t be in the top 3

Mini-Benny Chris Rodriguez hurts people when he runs. He didn't get enough touches last season. 6.6 yards a carry in an offense that everyone knew was running the ball.

He wasn’t even the 5th best RB in 2020, he was better than 5th. There’s no way the SEC has 4 better ‘backs than him.

Then Marshawn Lloyd will become a name everyone knows.
