With the 45th Pick of the 2016 Draft: Alabama RB Derrick Henry

So he left 55 yards on the field because he wanted to hit someone. Lovely.

All are one cut and play-side runs. No one denies Henry can make the one cut play-side run. If he didn't he wouldn't have been drafted until the third day. What I worry about is his ability to sift through the line and make it to the backside hole without having to turn his entire body.



He goes backside on this one. Too bad he has to stop his momentum, turn his entire body, and then begin to accelerate. That takes time that doesn't exist in the NFL.

 

Breaking tackles, running in virtually a straight line. This is the NFL, that doesn't even happen to our sorry bunch.

 

Here's a great look at what Derrick will be doing for us, hitting power scheme holes with great timing:
This might look easy, but if a back doesn't trust his blocks and have patience, the whole play will get blown up. Then the fact that he has great burst through the line and gets an extra 3 yards after contact is a huge bonus.

 

Yes... Sankey ran a 4.49... Henry ran a 4.54...

So.... as I said. He's slower than Sankey.

lmao @ "Know the facts"... while proving my point. Slick, homie.

 

Oh. An Alabama fan...

That still hasn't even realized his team could put that Bazinga guy from Big Bang Theory at RB and he'd rack up yards...


Bruh. He makes running inside look like brain surgery. He's not good. Sorry.

 

This is for DW since he said you can't find any highlights of him running over people...

Turns a 2 yard play into a 5 yard gain.

 

You missed the part where I also am right on the ones that don't bust.


BUT... if you can be me, I'd try my best to do that. Don't sell yourself short.

 

And he of course falls down while doing it.

"running over people" now is the same thing as getting tackled. Got it.

 

He just gets tackled way too easily to be his size.

Even when he has full momentum... no balance.

 

Why do you stay here? Why? Obviously you hate the team, you hate the players. So just leave. If you can do such a better job, then go work your way onto a scouting crew. Work your way up to GM and take... whoever the hell it is you think is good (which I actually haven't heard you say who is good). Prove us all wrong and show the world that DW knows all!

Until that day comes, all any of us can do is look at the players past, see how they can fit in what we're trying to do, root for the guys on our squad, and hope for the best.
