Why is Henry not getting the ball......

Lewis.

The unfortunate thing is the game script favored Henry from the jump of the game and he still couldn't seize the opportunity.

 

Lol Lewis did not play better. Dude was letting JJ Watt dictate how he ran the entire game, probably would have had another 25 yards if he didn’t let Watt in his head.

 

Here's the thing, both these guys are good. We have 2 great options at RB.

Some weeks Henry will be better, other weeks itll be Lewis.

I feel like this will be an ongoing topic between fans

 

I think you go with whoever’s playing best at the time. in which case they should’ve left Henry in. He was running through the Texans with ease and we pulled him to let Lewis come up short on 3rd and 1. We won so it doesn’t matter, but it could’ve cost us the game. The only thing I dislike about both backs is giving them the ball 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage almost every time. I also wish lewis would stop trying to cut outside to get more yards and just hit the hole that’s in front of him.

 

No reason to argue with Fry about Henry. He has an irrational hatred for anything Alabama. Because his team sucks.

 

Neither played well. I didn't expect them to behind a line with backups to backups playing.

If you want to say Henry played less worse than Lewis, fine. I disagree, but whatever.

If the bar for Henry is to average 0.1 YPC more than a guy who averaged 3.0 then that is a low ****ing bar.

 

Henry is an exceptionally gifted athlete but his size belies his ability. Despite being a gargantuan he is not good at using that size unless he’s at speed. He will not break tackles when trying to accelerate. However he will humiliate all comers when he gets moving either through speed, power or both. He’s just not a contained yardage back. I was upset st first with Dion getting that touch but I can’t fault Vrabel. Henry needs to prove he’s good in short yardage situations.

 

The thing is what is the bar for Henry? I don’t think he is a franchise back and neither should our fans. He’s most dangerous when he gets outside and he should be used the same way CJ2k was being used his rookie year.

 

CJ was not used as an outside back.

 

Lewis > Henry. Period.
