Oh come on. He has been close without getting the carries of a number 1 back. We also have a bunch of other talented backs.
I don't think a 170 pounder can take that many carries. I'm not saying he isn't talented but he's a third down back in my opinion.
It will be interesting to see if they can run between the tackles over a long season without a stud like Dyer.

Your right, we each have a stable of backs for about 1700

Those 3 all have that kind of potential. You'd be correct if you said no "proven" stud, but we also didn't have a "proven" stud going into 2009 or 2010

I just don't think any of those guys is a between the tackles guy. Grant and Mason are not for sure. Blakely should be an interesting guy to watch though.

quote:Mason can definitely be a between the tackles guy. He's just as big as Blakely, only 5 lbs less than Dyer. He hits the hole harder than any of our backs, and showed flashes of what he can do in that role towards the end of last season (see his TD run against UVA). He needs to prove he can do it on a consistent basis, but I have no reason to believe he can't
Grant and Mason are not for sure

I LOL'd.
Corey Grant is up around 205-210 pounds now after bulking up under Yox. He was only around 190 when he played at Alabama. Tre Mason is also around that size, and is ripped to hell and back. Just take a gander at this picture:
This was before he even got to Auburn.

Unless he fixes his attitude, that won't happen. Did I mention that he's also around the size of Corey Grant and Tre Mason?
Remember, we also have Jovon Robinson coming in. Stud freshman.
Now, knowing that you don't think Mason/Grant can run between the tackles, what is your opinion on Dee Hart? Don't tell me you think he can run between the tackles if Grant/Mason can't.

He didn't play due to being burried on the depth chart. I don't think the team is that afraid of a guy that couldn't find the field.

I don't think Hart is a between the tackles guy. Very few guys that size do for long.

So they're all equally small?

Yeldon is a stud freshman but I hope we don't have to lean on him.

Good, that makes him even more motivated to gash Alabama's defense.

If you consider them small, then I guess so.

I wasn't trying to make it sound like we would lean on him. But we did it with Dyer, and we can do it again if the need presents itself. I just don't think it will.

We have questions as well. Replacing Trent and our secondary are questions... there is no doubt.

Motivated and able are two different things.

He hasn't proven he can. He's had no playing time and is coming off a torn knee. He's a small back to begin with. There is no promise he'll ever start above Yeldon.

For RBs they are small. For normal guys they aren't.

Dyer was a stud player. Very few freshman are like that guy. Lattimore, Richardson, and Dyer was an insane freshman trio. Dyer was a bad egg so I don't really think it will hurt you but it is a shame he wasted all of that physical talent.

So, a freshman behind Ingram, Richardson and Lacy was supposed to come in and get PT? And because he didn't, no one should be afraid of him two years later when he's 15+ lbs heavier and fast as shite? Didn't Saban move him to DB anyway?
I don't know that he's the guy to replace Dyer, but I do think he can be a pretty dangerous weapon in our offense.

It's not that he's this awesome player, he's our only option at FB.
FB in the I formation is instrumental to our success running the ball this year.
