    They really need to do some different things, find ways to get him the ball in space. The last 3 carries, he was hit in the backfield each time. They probably need 2-3 OL in the draft and a good HC that can develop a QB.

    RB''s are a diamond dozen

    Pats win with journeyman

    The day of the dominant RB is long gone in nfl other than RARE EXCEPTIONS

    Saving himself for a new team. No need to battle for 1 yard for that shithole of a franchise. Good business move.

    It is, in a way. You need an OL though. Some RBs are special, but the majority can't do shit with the DL in the backfield. Biggest thing for a RB is vision. Have to be able to see that hole, and have patience. I would never waste a 1st or 2nd round pick on a RB. With a few exceptions. Zeke is perfect for the NFL, with a great OL as well.

    Bama has had a few RBs who were drafted high and didn't pan out.

    Assume you mean high draft picks? Not Bama. There's always a few that pan out. Still think you're better off building an OLine, and finding a RB in free agency or late rounds normally. Always exceptions to the rule, but more busts, or average RBs, than stars in the first two rounds.

    He's running behind one of the worst offensive lines that I've ever seen. And they don't even have a threat of a passing game.

    If he was running behind the Cowboys line he'd be every bit as good as Zeke.

    Gurley is crazy talented. There is nothing ridiculous about that. The Rams are penetrating terrible.

    Product of his environment. I was at the Falcons game last Sunday, these guys get boooed all day long.

    Im going to upload a couple of videos of 2 streakers that ran onto the field Sunday. Loudest cheers of the day.
