Is it just me or does blue run like tj yeldon?
almost identical running styles. Difference is that Yeldon is a little stronger and a little faster and will be a drafted in the top half the first round of whatever year he comes out

Like Blue out of the backfield especially as a receiver. I do think Hill is a little better RB, tougher and shifts gears well.
Nice to have them both. Still think we need to think about Hilliard at FB (i know i will get flack for this). He would keep LB's honest against the FB screen etc.

We have a big dude named Copeland returning who seems to do alright out of the FB spot

While a certain defender is assigned to pick up the fullback if he comes out of the backfield for a pass, defenses aren't going to scheme around it, no matter who is at fullback.

I don't think Yeldon is better than Gurley and look at the guy Melvin Gordon from Wisconsin. He has a great combination of speed POWER, and vision. That guy will be top 3 in the league next year.

Yeldon fumbled a few times this year and all Bama RBs are spoiled running behind those Olines. I could average 3+ yards/carry against some of the teams they play after eddie lacy and the Oline battered less talented defenses. I look forward to seeing how Yeldon pans out with the changes on the Oline and being the #1 guy. I don't intend to say he is a bad RB, but to anoint him the best in the country is a stretch after his freshmen year. He is VERY talented, but we'll see what he does next year. He will be successful because of a ridiculous weak schedule, but we will see if he is truly the next ingram/richardson.

HOw in the heck do you put Ingram and Richardson in the same slash? Ingram was a very average back that truely prospered and acheived fame and glory by running behind a great college o-line against over matched opponents while it was and is obvious that Richardson is a true talent. To me it is obvious already that Yeldon is also a true talent.

Jeremy Hill is way more of a dynamic runner with no direspect to Mr.Blue who is a good runner but Hill is special.

Most of Ingram's yards in 2009 came after contact. Good try, though.

I would agree that Hill is as good if not better than Lacy.

Ingram was a stud before his injury. He had the most impressive moves in space I've seen in a long time. He could shake you, accelerate around you or run you over if you were isolated. Ingram was better than TRich his Heisman season.

so you are saying an injury is what turned Ingram into a mediocre running back. What was this injury and why didn't the saints know about it before they drafted him?

Why you put 'LOL'? You don't really see Hill as being an elite type of RB? From what I've seen Lacy and Ingram are fairly equal talents, maybe Lacy is a little better but not by much.

Jeremy hill is prob the only difference maker we have on our team.
Most teams don't even have one.

never said mediocre, but not the same his junior year in college. The Saints made a mistake with Ingram because so far he hasn't lived up to the 1st round. I am holding out hope that he learns more patience running the ball in the NFL because he seems to rush into scrimmage before the play develops and the holes open.

*If blue is 100% both are a threat to break a big one. It will allow us to keep them both fresh. I want to say that Blue catches the ball a little better.

I never said at all. I think Hill is one of best RBs in the nation coming into the 2013 season.

I can agree with that.
I put "LOL" because Hill isn't better than Lacy, much less "by a lot". He very well could prove us wrong this year, but he hasn't really come close to accomplishing what Lacy did in his 3 years. Not saying that he won't, though. TBD.

I believe Ingram got his knee/s scoped twice(one before his final year at Bama, one after he was drafted by the Saints). IMO he lost all of his cutting ability and power. McGahee, Ridley and Peterson are the only backs I know(only been watching football since 2002) Who have come back as good or better, pre-knee injury.

Jeremy Hill has the best vision I've seen in a long time from an LSU tailback.
Alfred Blue is better at catching out of the backfield imo. But, I'd like to see both on the field at the same time to truly throw defensive units off.

I don't understand the bashing of Lacy, he's a fast, very powerful runner when healthy, and has the craziest spin move in the game. I do not see Yeldon as the best back and I view him as 3 going into next season in the SEC.
