All those others were tough runners with pretty decent footwork besides Henry. Some RB's can still get yards when teams penetrate the backfield. Others can't. DH is one of those who stops in his tracks 9 out of 10 times and loses yards the second he sees a defended in near the back field. The lack of agility is there with a lot of taller backs.

Eddie George is one of my favorite RB's ever. He was so smooth at that size. Deuce McCalister wasn't a small back either. Steve Jackson had excellent footwork and agility. When I see HJ's film, he gets tackled for loss an awful lot for him to be a "big" back. I just haven't seen it yet. Maybe I missed other games and film, but I think he needs a wide open hole or he might be ineffective. Hope I'm wrong if he comes here or he can learn to be more physical and better vision with footwork help.
