So you think he can run between the tackles just fine, despite the fact he never showed it in practice or games.

he showed it in some games, but we never really got to see it a lot b/c they didn't run him that way. i never saw it in practice

Just because he was fast they said you're only going to get toss sweeps or handoffs where you go around the line?

it's happened before with backs who had proven more in actual games

Yet all the other RBs were allowed to do anything just about.

and we had guys like ware who obviously weren't running well up the gut or hitting holes continue to get those looks...plus ware was almost never used on outside runs

No, he really didn't ever show it when given the chance.

Keiland is your only example, which I agreed with, but Ford isn't the same at all. What, should Trindon Holliday be another?

But every RB has a specific assigned role, right?

Except on our last drive against Alabama.

And coincidentally, on that same drive, we ran Ford between the tackles.

All part of Miles' plan to throw the unexpected at Saban. He just overdid it.
