Correct. Henry is good, but I'll take Hurd over him.

Henry is partially the product of his OL opening up holes you could drive a truck through.

Troy Fleming made a good point in the pregame about Henry being skinny in the legs and not running through tackles if you hit him right (tackles a guy his size should break). He was dead on as I watched the game.

Granted its totally through orange glasses but Hurd seems to be a bit more complete to me.

Cue Bamawriter to tell me how dumb I am.

Fournette is the only back I think is hands down ahead of Hurd. That's no knock on Hurd Fournette just has another gear.

I saw a draft scout say Henry was a 3-4 round pick due to his lack of flexibility and weaker lower body.

That being said, he's a ***** to tackle when he hits that hole and is running downhill. He's fast but it takes a little bit for him to get up to speed.

I'll agree with that. You have to have those orange glasses on to take Hurd over Fournette.

He's just on another level. It's fun to watch.

There is no other position that is evaluated poorly than RB. The nfl can't seem to get the draft correct when considering RBs

I'm not sure Hurd isn't the more complete back. Pass catching and especially pass pro. This would never happen to him like Collins here:

"Take a gander at 25 Dillon Lee. https://t.co/cl8uOCl6zJ "

You are correct, and Hurd is a beast...I'm not even sure I'd trade him for Fournette (LF has a monster line blocking for him, which gives him a huge advantage on stats).

But, Hurd did get trucked on one of Alabama's first sacks last Saturday. I think he was trying to block Ragland (who is also a beast), and Ragland blew Hurd up, knocking him back towards Dobbs where Ragland was able to finish the play.

Anyone with Bama in their screen name tells me all I need to know about their intelligence. How ironic too, "Bamawriter"? Everyone knows people in Bama can't write.

Fournette is the best RB we've seen since Bo Jackson IMO. A guy that big shouldn't move that fast and have those kind of feet.

I agree that the obvious holding of Barnett with no calls of it all season has been ridiculous. Against Bama I was not as offended because our O-line did the very same stuff and got away with it. Chance Hall was especially "proficient" at it.

Fournette needs to get to the league before Les runs him totally into the ground. That guy is as special as many of you have already posted.

Hate it for Kendrick, but his injury is a blessing in disguise for the O-line including himself. He can get healthy and even better for next season when they will need guys like him that can play multiple positions. Meanwhile the talented young pup gets to play and develop against the lower tier of the SEC. Best of all worlds IMO.

In 2016 your wish will come true, union city. That's when the run starts. Could have been this season, but the coaching staff needed to mature as well as the players along with the injury issues. Nothing like having the national media focusing on the coaching shortcomings to "assist" their transition into more elite status. But it is time to go on a 6 game run to prove it.

Orange/Black out on Halloween? Oh yeah! Hope that happens.
