ryanadonis Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 And yet Henry is playing like this vs the Patriots away and Ravens away. How many of our stud rbs could do that ever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His athleticism (38.3-inch jump) and strength (40-foot toss) were also on display, earning him SPARQ (speed, power, agility, reaction and quickness) ratings MVP honors for a second-straight year. 4700 all purpose yards and 40 TD’s in 35 games Yes!!

Big bruising power back is my favorite type of back. Not a fan of these small shifty backs like Freeman and Ito. I've been begging to get another Michael Turner type guy here for years.

SirCzah Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Don't worry, we will spend another 1st on a combine warrior or a DL player that excelled only when playing inferior talent or in a stacked defense. Then we will draft a bargain bin RB and get dollar store results. The league has figured out that as defenses are getting smaller, having a pure RB is gaining more upside. But we will stay behind the trends as usual. (see implementing the Cover 3 after the league has figured it out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E. T. Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Not fair to Ollison to compare him to Henry. Ollison will have to make a name for himself and of course, DK will have to set him up for success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we drafted Henry in the 2nd but he averaged 45 ypg his first 3 years, the board would State Line him Or just discredit him all along whether his "stats" are good or bad; like Matt Ryan.
