Yeldon better worry about keeping his spot ahead of Henry.  I would not be surprised to see Henry take over the #1 spot next year.  He is huge and he pulls away from DBs like they are standing still when he gets past the LOS.  If he stays healthy and out of trouble, Henry will win the Heisman before he leaves.  He is a special, once in a generation type of player.

He is a special one indeed. :clap:

I agree.  Yeldon is a great RB, but Henry is special. 

Yeldon knows the blocking assignments, the plays better, has more experience.  But he has fumbled in key moments, in scoring situations.  I expect Henry to know the playbook much better next year; we'll see more of him.

Yeldon may officially hold on to the #1 spot next year, but I think Henry will be the star if he stays healthy and out of the doghouse.

If not, we'll need a bigger doghouse!

Yeldon needs some big numbers next season if he is expecting to make the big dollars in the NFL. It will be interesting to see if he has a different attitude about himself this season and sticks out more as a leader.

Even with a good year Yeldon could be the first starting RB under Saban to come back for his senior year.

With a more experienced O-line and a new QB the RBs will probably be leaned on heavily, especially early in the year.  I expect Yeldon, Henry, and whoever else gets some carries to put up big numbers.

I would like to see TJ run up and down the field. I think we have some RB's that will push him, and it might make TJ stronger. RTR!
