yeah and he is just mr consistent, right? dude has caused nightmares of green bay.

Huh? He had 2 really good seasons for a team that generally passes first, runs second. This year has been down some but he's missed games due to injuries.

If teams would be smart they would move Henry to H Back or make him a TE. I know this would take some time but the dude is 6'4 250ish.

I would rather us draft my main man Leonard Fournette after next year, but we would have to have a bad season for that to happen. After this year, I think we all will be praying for a bounce-back season.

I literally think out of all the bama backs henry is the worst, coffe was better. The only one he's better than is the one for the Jaguars.



He's just one of those players with stats but the ole eyeball test clearly shows an average player.



Big and slow, no moves, no wiggle whatsoever, finds big hole runs through it.



He's a Brandon Jacob clone





Wow, out of all the dumbass posts in this thread, this one takes the cake.


I hope the Saints don't draft Henry because he will go to waste.

The Saints need a lock down corner.

LF seems overrated to me. Seems to shrink in the biggest of games. Just stating facts.

I mean, unless the Saints play Syracuse a lot. Then y'all should draft him. Otherwise, overhyped.

You dont seem to understand football. O-lines make a RB. Emmitt Smith was not that great. Wasnt super fast or super strong, just a basic hardworking RB like a Curtis Martin. Only Emmitt ran behind the best O-line of that era. Same thing at bama. Best O-line in the SEC every year. Plug-in a RB. Doesnt matter who.

On the flip side, Barry Sanders had all the skills and ran behind a mediocre O-line. His numbers were his and his alone. He made those yards happen with his skill set. For all of Barrys records I think he still holds the record for the most yards for a loss by a RB. When your O-line sucks you get hit in the backfield a lot when you play good defenses, ala Leonard Fournette.

To have an eye for RBs you have to look at what they do one-on-one not how many yards they get. A lot of bamas RBs are getting a 3-5 yard lead before anyone touches them. With a head of steam like that no CBs or Safetys are going to bring down a 220lb+ RB and in college, not even LBs. Watch what they do when their O-line blows an assignment and they have to make someone miss or run them over in the backfield.

I know that at least through the LSU game, Alabama was ranked in the 100s in backwards plays.

aka you don't know what you are talking about.

Should we? frick no. Center of gravity way to high, no speed or wiggle, just not built for the pros. Looks great behind the bama oline though.

jenkins isn't a CB, and he never was. his biggest issue here involved being slow (bye bye Vernon Davis) and a pussy (Marshawn ran straight through him)
