Im sorry im the biggest Bama fan youl find, but Im pissed at our run game so far this season. I really thought Najee and Brian would pick up where we left off but between our oline problems and those 2 gettin supsended the first game and we havent even had a 100 yard rusher against two bum teams! I hate to talk about the team but we cant face Clemson or even LSU with a poor running game. Someone help me and talk me into feeling better because I just dont right now.... roll tide.

I know Alabama likes the RPO style, but that is what has been hurting the run game. The Crimson Tide needs to return to man-blocking and be the aggressor, instead of zone blocking where it allows the defensive line to make the first move in trying to attack a gap. Najee Harris and Brian Robinson are grinders. Both need a man-blocking scheme. Harris also needs to improve his vision. There were a few times against New Mexico State were holes were open either inside or outside and each time, he took a different route. It is a combination of issues, but the main one is to stop this zone blocking scheme.
