Robinson doesn't scare anyone. Really you need two good running backs and I'm sure you'll find a second to back him up.

But my comment stands. All potential in this group outside of Robinson who is the very definition of meh.

transfer portal is a recruiting tool now. Hey come join the best team in football. At least give it a try but if you can't beat out the guys in front of you i will get you an offer at a good school. Portal not good for college football and i think it is here to stay. Part of the new Culture

You're dead wrong. He doesn't have break away speed, but he's gonna run over your arse until your defense caves...then the scat-backs'll finish it.

Kelian Robinson took the year off and came back much heavier after bulking up a bit. He's much more prepared to be an every down back than he was when he arrived. He's fast as hell too. He's going to surprise some people.

As I understand, Sanders should be good by the start of the season. I could be wrong though.

I'll buy that. A lot of flash and dash in the group. Brian Robinson is gonna see the field a lot. He's by far the biggest of the bunch and often hit the hole with more conviction than Najee. He actually looked more explosive against Ohio State with his carries for my money. We just saw how important Najee was to help our offense stay physical on the LOS and in the red zone.

Bottom line is when was the last time that Alabama didn't have multiple hosses in their backfield?.

2006/2007?

Errbody was hurt during the honk if you sacked Brody game of 2005.

Those are my best guesses.

I suspect this season will look more like the committee we are used to seeing. I was getting the feeling after the Miss State game that Trey Sanders was just about ready to take off. Very unfortunate for the youngster.

IMO you really need 3-servicable guys. One of the three is always dinged up and you need the two others to play regularly. We lost Trey two years running and it was nice to have Roydell & Jase backing up Brian and Najee.

Some of you guys just amaze me. If Jace or Roydell were better than Brian, why the heck didn't they start ahead of him? Now, the young guys might be better runners, but in the Bama backfield, if you can't block well, you ain't playing a lot, thusly are not considered better.

That idiot doesn't realize that Harris had 22 carries for 79 yds, and Robinson had 10 carries for 69 yards in the Nat'l Championship game!

Why do y’all do this? It’s embarrassing. You can’t just acknowledge that they’ve got a bunch of studs at RB? No they don’t have 7 Derrick Henry’s but those dudes are probably still damn good

Am I somehow less if an LSU fan if I acknowledge Bama is good and recruits well?
