Nick said that both would start so deal with it. Why is it the media insists that Ricky is on the trading block? On cold pizza (ESPN2) this morning, the host asked if Ricky was being traded. Jason Cole of one of the Miami papers said probably not. The host rephrases and asks the SAME question AGAIN. You could see the exasperation in Cole's eyes as he had to reiteritate his original answer.
I heard that they may go into I-forum and switch each of them around so that one may block for the other back and forth. I think that is super stupid because they are not fullbacks and wouldn't like to block for anyone else. And if they put shotgun or singleback that one would act as a wideout. But splitting carries will keep the running game fresh but the fantasy numbers will drop.
They should have like a full house backfield. Because then you could have both backs and a full back. That would be a scary backfield. The only reason i dont think they could do a split back formation is that the line isnt that good, and they need a lead blocker

"We are going to start both guys, so you can't ask me which one is starting," Saban said with a smile. "I might change my mind between now and then, but I am just telling you that we are starting both. One might play center and one might play tight end or wideout, but we are starting them both."

I think he was illustrating the fact that regardless of where they start, Saban is pretty adament they will start! I dont think either is a good enough blocker to be a lead blocker. I'd strt both of them and on the first play, have McMichael take off up the field, 76 yard TD pass!!
