It is absolutely comical how underrated Ingram has become on here

You can put anybody in any tier you want. RBs are probably 80% dependent on their blocking anyway.

Honestly, I don't get the hoopla over Henry. Terrible running back. His style I mean. He runs upright, too high. No pad level at all. I'm surprised they have never corrected that, his RB coach at Bama. Dude will take some shots in the NFL with that style and won't have a very long career. Lacy has proven to be the best Alabama back since the Saban era there.

but Alabama's good OLine as usual opens up massive holes for Henry to just rumble down field. And he isn't very fast it's just that none of the runs are very long. Most of them like 40 to 50 yards where he's already out front of the DB's so they can't catch him from behind. If it were a 70, 80 yard run he would be tackled from behind. The OP sayin Henry has better vision than Fournette is crazy laughable. Fournette's vision is extraordinary this season. LSU's OLine really is never as good as Alabama's and Fournette breaks a lot of those long runs because of his great vision with his cut backs and all. This kid is the complete package and NFL teams are drooling. I wish he could go pro in the spring.

His balance was the best I had seen in a long time. He could take a hit and stay up like E Smith did in Dallas. Ingram is def underrated on here.

Ingram is def a Smith clone. I think that's why he wears 22. But I kept wishing the Saints would trade him to Dallas when he was running bad a few years ago to get a high pick from Jerry. They wasted a number 1 on Ingram. The Saints have had numerous good backs since Payton has been there and most of them were free agents. I don't know what they were thinking drafting him that high.

Yeah, okay. Watch how long he last in the NFL if he doesn't change that style.

You bring up many good points. In vain. Bammers are simply too stupid to acknowledge said points. Most of them are too busy being balls deep inside their sister-wife to see any sort of wisdom.

Clearly saying Henry is in the same league as fournette won't be well received here. Fournette is a generational talent, but that doesn't mean people are on his level in terms of playing the position. This is the board that thought Trent Richardson > Ingram > Lacy when really

Lacy = Ingram and they're both >>>>>>>>>>>>> Richardson

I will say all the stuff about OBJ and Jeremy hill was fandamonium but they're both top talents

You sir are a special kind of dumb.

Henry is getting the exact amount of press he deserves. And he is not in the same discussion as lf7 which is why no one is talking about him

Henry had 150 yards rushing in the first quarter on aTm despite kiffin being a retard, so then kiffin went full retard.

It will be the difference in the game IMO. Kiffin is garbage at calling plays

Yea I was responding to the Bama fan regarding the OL. Sure the line may be better, but LF does his real work after that.
