How did Commanders running backs perform without Brian Robinson?
The world is always changing, so why should it be any different in the NFL? It certainly isn't. In fact, NFL changes are sometimes so sudden. I still remember that November night of 1985 when Joe Theismann's NFL career abruptly came to an end. Abruptness can also come as a result of a coach's decision. Such is the case for Brian Robinson Jr. Sunday, head coach Dan Quinn and GM Adam Peters met with Robinson, expressing to the No. 1 Washington running back for the last three seasons, that they were moving on from him. Thus, the Commanders are attempting to trade Robinson, if they can find a buyer. It's possible a team in need of an inside running back could offer a seventh-round choice, rather than risk waiting to see whom Robinson signs with after the 53-man rosters are revealed. Most likely, one would think the Commanders will have to cut Robinson, not receiving any draft compensation. Consequently, Robinson and the Commanders came to a mutual decision that he would not play, Monday night. Yes, the more some things change, the more some things stay the same, like the Cincinnati Bengals' defense. They managed to make the Commanders' running backs look like NFL elites, causing fans to forget about Robinson altogether. Head coach Dan Quinn and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury have more than a few times since their arrival chosen to mention running game coach Anthony Lynn, crediting him for his work and contribution. I realize it was the Bengals' defense, but my goodness, the Commanders rushed 30 times for 185 yards, including two rushing touchdowns. That is 6.2 yards per rushing attempt. Chris Rodriguez got the start and promptly rushed for 62 yards on six carries. Rodriguez had a 40-yard run, a 9-yard run, and an 8-yard run. Jacory Croskey-Merritt, aka "Bill," was called upon to carry the ball 11 times and contributed 46 yards. In his first series, he contributed a 5-yard run and a 27-yard touchdown run. Consequently, in the first quarter alone, Rodriguez and Bill contributed 40 and 27-yard runs. Not to be overlooked are Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols. Ekeler is a very effective third-down receiver out of the backfield. It seems the coaching staff might have determined to remove Ekeler from kickoff returns this season, due to Ekeler suffering two concussions in 2024. Every Commanders' game will also require players to get down the field and tackle in kickoff coverage and punt coverage. Both Rodriguez and McNichols have proven themselves in this area at the NFL level. The move from Robinson is nothing personal. Quinn and Peters simply believe they now have four running backs other than Robinson that fit their multiple needs. Even the NFL rushing success rate in 2024 shows this to be true, where Rodriguez graded at 74.3 percent, McNichols at 58.2, Ekeler at 51.9, and Brian Robinson at 48.7.

Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Jam Miller
You could certainly make an argument that few players on the Alabama Crimson Tide's 2025 offense are more key to the unit's success this fall than Jam Miller. Alabama's returning leading rusher, the Crimson Tide however will be without Miller to begin the 2025 season, as the running back recently suffered an injury that will likely result in missing time. Looking at the overall impact of Miller when healthy however, it's clear that the veteran running back will be a big part of Alabama's success in 2025, and should be among college football's best at the position when on the field. Here is a preview of the 2025 season for Alabama running back Jam Miller. Jam Miller player information Position: Running Back Jersey Number: No. 26 Height: 5'10 Weight: 221 Class: Senior Hometown: Tyler, Texas High School: Tyler Legacy Jam Miller career stats A senior, Miller is currently entering his fourth season of college football at Alabama, and has appeared in a total of 40 games from 2022-24. Over the past three seasons, Miller has rushed for a combined 1,092 yards and 10 scores on 219 attempts, while also hauling in 21 receptions for 227 yards and two more touchdowns. Jam Miller 2024 stats Miller's 2024 season was likely his best yet at Alabama, appearing in all 13 games for the Crimson Tide a year ago. During his junior campaign, Miller rushed for 668 yards and seven touchdowns on 145 attempts, while also hauling in 16 receptions for 155 yards and another score. Jam Miller recruiting ranking Coming out of high school, Miller was considered as the nation's No. 87 overall prospect in the 2022 class, as well as the No. 6 running back nationally, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. A four-star prospect, Miller was also ranked as the No. 15 prospect in the state of Texas where he attended Tyler Legacy High School, and committed to Alabama back in Nov. 2021 by flipping from Texas. Jam Miller 2025 season outlook While injured to start the season, Miller will be Alabama's starter and No. 1 option at running back when back to full health. Named to the preseason Doak Walker Award watch list, Miller is coming off a career-year, and even despite injury to start the season, could still eclipse those totals in 2025. An experienced player, Miller should make a significant impact in both the rushing and receiving game, and will also be running behind one of college football's top offensive lines, something that should benefit the senior. A potential 1,000-yard back option, expect a strong season from Miller once again, and for the Alabama running back to potentially receive honors at seasons end such as All-SEC. Jam Miller 2025 season prediction 2025 Prediction: 160 rushes, 750 yards, 10 TD, 20 receptions, 200 yards, 1 TD, All-SEC honors Contact/Follow us @RollTideWire on X, and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Alabama news, notes and opinion.

Four Nittany Lions make preseason All-American teams
In a preseason that has contained the most hype for the Nittany Lions in over two decades, Penn State continues to dominate preseason All-American teams. The AP just released their teams yesterday and Penn State's dominance was almost certainly felt. Four Nittany Lions ultimately ended up landing on their teams, with three first-team selections and one second-team selection. That ties them with Texas for most first-team selections in the country and finally gives them a second-teamer after the same three players had been selected to the first teams of several other publications. The three players in question that again made the first team are defensive tackle and breakout star of last season Zane Durant, offensive lineman Olaivevega Ioane, and star running back Nicholas Singleton. Backfield running mate Kaytron Allen slots into the second team. This marks Durant's fifth preseason All-American team selection across five publications, Ioane's sixth, and Singleton's fifth. This is Allen's second second-team selection, but it is still notable that one of the deepest squads somehow don't have the subsequent depth on All-American preseason teams. Despite some snubs however, the fact that Durant, Ioane, and Singleton have represented the team so strongly must feel good for Penn State fans. Durant had a breakout 2024 that saw him tied for first amongst defensive tackles and sacks with three and third in TFLs with 11. Ioane was an All-Big Ten second team selection last year and helped the Nittany Lions have one of the most efficient offenses in the country, leading the nation in first downs. And people don't have to be told about both Singleton and Allen, as both could be on the precipice of being Nos. 1 and 2, respectively on Penn State's all-time rushing leaders charts. They already are 1 and 2 in terms of returning FBS players, so why not go for a program record and leave a major legacy behind? These preseason All-American selections do bolster their odds. Most importantly, this gives Penn State bragging rights within the conference. In fact, the only other Big Ten squad to even have multiple first-team selections was No. 3 Ohio State, landing both Jeremiah Smith and Caleb Downs on the first team. Not even those selections can slow Penn State's mojo however. Let's see if these selections prove the Associated Press right.
