tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 With Tre's declaring for the NFL draft, I've got to believe Cameron Artis-Payne has got a good lead going into spring. From what I saw this year, with a little polishing, CAP can be a VERY good back. I also like what I hear from Tre Mason in that he's not even the best back on the team, but Peyton Barber is! Plus, Rudy Ford, Corey Grant, and ROC???? Plus, Marshall as a glorified throwing running back. Having Tre back would have been great, but I think we will still have a tremendous rushing attack.

Butthead 525 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 i think we will be ok. but you simply cannot replace a heisman finalist who can run the ball 35 times in a game against a top D, yet seem to get stronger as the game goes on. that is rare air.

NLAuburn 7 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 This is the second time today I have seen the name Rudy Ford. Am I missing something? Thought his name is Johnathan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DivisionN 102 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 And I thought "Rudy" was playing cornerback on a team that desperately needs cornerbacks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURex 2,020 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Plenty of talent at RB. We might see more switching off at RB, like most teams do -- Gurley/Marshall at UGA, Yeldon/Drake/Henry at Bama, etc. It is rare and very special to have a back as capable and durable as TM was. But being able to change up in the backfield gives the defenses more to worry about. Malzahn and Lashley will have a lot to work with, but it's not just about running the ball. Reading, blocking, ball security, durability and ball handling with NM are also important. That's why TM was so impressive. Not sure if any one guy can step into his shoes.
