GBo Scarborough RB will be available to play for the Georgia game. Bo is unproven too but the talent is undeniably there. [/quote]

Bo will def be nice to add back to the roster!

Drake is a college type running back where Henry is built for a long career in the NFL if he has the intangibles (discipline, motivation, intelligence, maturity, etc.)

Drake's NFL future would be as a return specialist or a conversion to DB or wide out.

Drake will get his touches, receiving and rushing but Henry is the work horse.

DSorry for my screwup Travis Batey.

Straight ahead, power runners aren't doing too well in the NFL these days. You have to have that lateral quickness to be successful in'.todays game. Henry will be a monster while at Alabama, just like Richardson was. Richardson is likely to cost Henry some money in the draft, in my opinion.

Dyer and Artis-Payne et. al. would both disagree since they made the final cut as rookies. Big, durable and quick to the initial hole is what they want. Smaller won't cut it no matter how quick you are these days.

That's a good point. Henry is so strong though. It will be interesting. On another note, it was interesting the number of freshmen that AU and UA played.

The raiders cut Dyer.

I thought that roc Thomas would put on a show yesterday, seemed like halfway thru the second quarter he disappeared and I don't think he played the rest of the game(maybe hurt? idk) About the time he left Peyton Barber 25 took over and seemed to give the running game a big boost IMO...he looked to be a good bit bigger than Roc and a lot harder to bring down to me...just curious if he might be hurt, did something wrong or just got outplayed...

Thomas and Robinson both went out with minor leg injuries

Both Thomas and Robinson were injured on the same drive.

Thanks for the info guys...Roc is a local kid and I was hoping he would do well...maybe its nothing serious...

OK last I heard he made the cut. I guess it wasn't the final cut or they picked up someone off waivers they liked better.

Roc and Robinsons injuries are not thought to be serious, but they still might not play this Sat. against Jacksonville with LSU coming up.

I sat beside his Mom and Dad last year. Seemed like really nice people.

Drake's NFL career would be as a 3rd down back or a WR. They ain't a snowballs chance in hell a team would convert him to DB.

Drake is not a third down back unless he has exceptional hands and is a very good blocker picking up the blitzes. The NFL is looking for a big back on third downs that can catch, block and run strong for positive yardage. This is usually the bigger guys.

Why wouldn't they give Drake the opportunity to convert if that was his possibility to make the league? They did it for McCaleb and gave him two years to learn.

Drake is a pass catching RB. He has the ability to line up all over the field. Does he have the size and blocking that most RBs have, no. Look how New Orleans and Philly used Darren Sproles and that would be the ideal use for Drake in my opinion. Sproles is the RB out there on 3rd and medium-long due to his agility and pass catching ability.

Not that he doesn't have the ability to convert but if taken by a NFL team it would be hard to move seeing as he has never played any other position other than RB and kick returner. This is my amateur opinion on everything and more often than not I am wrong (I did predict Cooper Bateman to look better than Coker).

Kenyan Drake is not a "little" guy; he is 6'1" and now up to 210 lbs.

Nobody is going to take a senior running back and try to convert him to a defensive back, nobody with any brains anyway.

Bengals say hello, but I guess the part about a brain is your qualifier.
