Nick Saban disagrees with this. He said he's rather have a dynamic back with an average O-Line than vice versa. Not sure I agree but he said that.
He also said Dooley was a good coach and stacked offensive line recruits in like cordwood as his first order of business at bammer, but whatever he says. Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk
Your reasoning for why Kamara was better than Hurd was that he got more yards per carry. Kelly is averaging more yards per carry than Kamara, is Kelly better than Kamara?
Talked to someone today that said Hurd's reputation around the athletic department is pretty shitty. Anyone else heard this? I was always under the impression that he is pretty well liked.
Well it is surprising Kamara is a captain and Hurd isn't. His family member posts on VN and acknowledges that Hurd gets beat up on and isn't the best fit for this system and all the hits behind the LOS take a toll on his body. I'm guessing Hurd has that attitude and isn't just blindly following and buying into Butch like many of our players do which is why he might have that reputation.
Hard for me to buy that Hurd has some beef with the staff. They feature the hell out of him and have completely marginalized Kamara.
Never said I did but of course that went over your head (easy to do with you). You said Kamara was better than Hurd in this offense because he had a better yard per carry, correct? So is Kelly a better back than Kamara in this offense because he has a better yard per carry?
I love Jalen Hurd's physical style. But, he would be dominant at Bama or Arky. Kamara is built for this offense (which I am no fan of). That is no knock on Jalen Hurd. Quite frankly, I thought he would be a Heisman Candidate at UT. The FACT that he gets hit behind the line is a legit beef. It would be hard to fault Hurd who has a questionable shoulder and the talent for millions for having concerns. I am all UT, but if football was my real shot at success, I would question if the situation is best for me. I will say that Hurd does not need bad press. That won't help either. And, it is a shame he missed Saturday. He would have had a good day. And maybe the Kelly fumble doesn't happen. But, that is all conjecture. I wish my best to Hurd no matter what.
