    No doubt lol, like **** it he's had half a season off he can tote the rock 30 times a game.

    Hopefully our offense gets reinvented because of this. Way too often do we just pound henry into stacked boxes.

    Henry is obviously a beast, but don't discount the Titans scheme as a significant part to his success. The remnants of the Titans exotic smash mouth is still here with all of our tight ends.

    I certainly don't think you can replace Henry, but we won't fall off a cliff either.

    Just as long as he's more productive than Shonn Greene's time here.

    Honestly I think this is a decent signing. Is he going to get us that 75 yard TD run? Hell no. But I think he'll be good enough to keep the defense honest and will get those tough 3 or 4 yards to extend drives.

    If Henry can be back in time for the playoffs, I believe we can limp in. Won't take much to win the division and a much easier second half of the schedule.

    This was as good as we could probably do without giving up significant draft capital. And even if we did give up draft capital, not sure the difference between AP and whoever is available via trade would have been worth it.

    It seems like a huge hole right now, but if it really is just 6-10 weeks, I don't think you give up draft picks for such a short time period. So let's not get too short sighted here. The news probably blindsided us, and the tendency is to want to go make a splash to continue our winning streak. But, we are in a good place in the division. If we go 4-5 over the last 9 games, the Colts would have to go 8-1 to win the division. We also have 2 games against the Texans and one against the Dolphins, which should be 3 easy wins.

    Also, don't overreact if we get beat Sunday night. That could have still happened even with Henry playing healthy.

    AP in his first game with the Lions last year. Worth watching the whole thing.

    Averaged 3.9 ypc with the lowly Lions last year. I think some of you are under estimating his potential value. He isn't gonna be Henry. But he should be pretty solid.
