Christ. Could you imagine a formation that required only 2 Defensive Lineman for the majority of snaps!When did we trade Big Vince?

Can't wait for the ESPN 30 for 30 five years from now: "What if I told you, three Alabama highly touted RBs drafted back to back to back, would all suck? Busts in Bama airing Friday"
Really though, three plodders in Ingram, Richardson, Lacey, all proclaimed the best RB of their draft, and all overdrafted.
You're jumping the gun a bit. I'll give you Ingram, but Richardson had 950 yards rushing and 11 TD's last season in spite of defenses routinely stacking 8 in the box due to the ineptitude of Cleveland's passing game on top of missing a game due to injury. Richardson looks like the real deal, Ingram looks like a bust, and we have no idea what Lacy will look like because he hasn't taken a meaningful NFL snap as of yet.
I will give you, though, that this isn't a good start for Lacy. TC isn't when you want to begin getting in shape.
I argue about Richardson with a lot of friends, the majority take your stance and I understand it. However, this kid was drafted 3rd overall and had the worst ypc in the league for RBs with 250+ carries. He got outperformed by two fellow rookies, Morris and Martin. You can argue Morris is a system back (although his vision is brings Richardson's to town) but Martin was undeniably the better RB.
Maybe I'm a hater, but I can't see Richardson becoming a top 5 RB, and if you're drafted 3rd overall in the passing NFL, you better be special. We'll see how he develops.

When you take a look at the Offensive Linemen Alabama has been putting out consistently it's easy to see why Alabama RBs are over-drafted.
