Mark Ingram- 5 carries for 17 yards

Derrick Henry- 6 carries for 25 yards

Eddie Lacy- 5 carries for 3 yards

Trent Richardson- out of the league

TJ Yeldon- demoted to second string behind Leonard Fournette

Because they're all products of the best OL in football.

Same reason all of their QBs never play in the NFL.

Sean Peyton is a shitty coach and don't give carries.

Henry shares carries with DeMarco Murray who was given a large contract.

Lacy has one of the worst OLs in football. Seattle's 2nd best OL and Starting LT is out for the year.

Thanks Oracle , I had not realized that Henry has more yards per carry than Fornette until you posted this. Some things never change I guess.

Derrick Henry- 6 carries for 25 yards

4.17 yards per carry

Fornette 26 carries for 100 yards
3.85 yards per carry

Whatever makes you feel better. Fournette had a good showing against a top NFL defense, much to the chagrin of many on this board.

I honestly don't care, but I just noticed that Fornette has less yards per carry than Henry. Same as it ever was.

Yet Derrick Henry plays on the same team with another guy who had twice the rushing yards and a higher ypc average last year

Ingram was 6th in Yards per Carry last year and top 10 in yards from scrimmage.

Derrick Henry is behind a NFL vet with a great career but is doing pretty solid in his given role. He actually had a slightly higher YPC than Murray last season. (Poster above me, Henry had 4.5 YPC and Murray had 4.4 YPC last season fyi)

Most rb's have short NFL careers and outside of a few, there are minimal workhouse rb's in the NFL anymore.

You are aware that Fournette had a higher YPC in college, right?

Are you serious? Your defense of every bammer running back under Saban being a bust in the NFL is that one of them averaged slightly more yards per carry than Fournette in one game
