Clyde Edwards-Helaire should be #1. He can bust a big play every now and again, obviously. If it wasn’t for that long run by him, the momentum could have shifted. Those stocky, short RBs like him are not only hard to tackle, but hard to see. He can average 4 ypr if he got the playing time he deserved.

You’re absolutely right but be prepared for some people here to lose their minds and call you a Catholic High dropout.

I love Clyde but no need to change what isn’t broken.

Was that Curry that came in for 1 play and only got a yard?

Curry never has a hole to run through. It’s kind of weird. Any chance he gets is stuffed.

Brossette has been solid this year too. Most teams use 2 RBs. I hope they both continue to play a lot

We’re setting up an epic Play action vs Bama.

Curry gets tackled by 11 in the backfield as joe throws a pitch and catch throw to any of our wide open receivers

I'd normally be inclined to agree, but I prefer to run whomever has the hot hand. CEH obviously had it yesterday.

He can bust a big play, but he can also lose 2-3 yards pretty often. I think they’ve used them both brilliantly.

Nothing wrong with the RB rotation ... Ensminger appears to be alternating series with Brossette and CEH and it’s keeping them fresh.

Need both these guys involved. CEH obviously has more upside. Just roll with the hot hand and matchup.

But no more Brossette outside runs please.

Only thing about CEH is he stutters sometimes when he needs to just put his head down. He makes himself susceptible to 2-3 yd losses here and there. Interesting that he's getting the majority of the 3rd and 1 handoffs over Brossete.. head scratcher.. Don't get me wrong though, CEH is getting the job done

You realize brossette is only like 350 from a 1,000 yard season right?

Curry can't pass block, so every time he's in the game the defense puts 11 men in the box because everyone in the stadium knows where the ball is going.

hahahaha I like your thinking. Curry gets blown up every time he gets the ball because whenever he gets in the game the defense knows it's gonna be a hand off. I don't think we've ever ran a pass play with him on the field.

Both guys are needed. Ceh is great on the outside stuff when its blocked well. I dont think he's quite as good on the inside stuff.

Brosette has been pretty consistent on the inside. Having a guy that gets 3 to 4 yards on most every inside run is a nice bonus. Plus Brosette, had some nice jump cuts on the inside that helped seal the deal.

Both guys need to be playing and the coaches have done a good job with it. I really dont see why anybody is bitching about the RB position.
