Josh Jacobs could be Alabama's version of Kevin Faulk
(http://media.al.com/alphotos/photo/2017/06/04/-c633993b084f3797.JPG)"I would say he's the most different, the most unique out of that (running back) group. He's a smaller guy ... but he's the most athletic maybe out of the group."

If he can catch a short pass he'll be deadly.

I think he and Bo are going to be the full time future of our RB's unless one of them wins the Heisman and then they are gone on to the not for long league. RTR!

He caught 14 passes for 156 yds and 11.4 yd avg last year. More than any other RB on the team. All were short passes.

I like Jacobs a lot. I hope he gets at least 15 carries a game.

But can he run the jet sweep?

Uh oh, you're right, he's unsuitable for such a play since he is so good between the tackles. We may have to man up and use the jet sweep less and play real football instead.

Yes, almost all set up by QB run/pass options.
This year, hopefully, Daboll's offense will center its blocking schemes around the RB screen (in this case).  If we can get the ball into the RBs hands in space (with blocking), look out!
