He'll probably LeFlourish

He'll have to get much better at pressing the hole and not bouncing wide at the first glance of trouble.

Really? You must be new here (sarcasm) because this board thinks he is amazing.

Not sure I agree with you. I think people, including me, wanted him getting more carries than Murray. But that doesn’t mean I don’t think the position needs to be upgraded or supplemented. Seemed like most thought similarly except for the retards like Rolltide.

Henry is perfect... for 1990's NFL. I keep hearing he needs 20-30 rushes per game to reach his potential. Thats just not the type of offense seen much today. I think he is useful but I just do not think his skill set will match what the Titans (hopefully) will be trying to do. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe spreading the field will open running lanes. Maybe he can catch. Maybe he will learn to block. If so, awesome.

 

By the way, is there any chance Khalifa steps up as a change of pace?

You didn't see NE giving 300 carries to any other RB once Blount left.  And their offense is about as modern as you can get in terms of pass catching backs. 

 

It's about utilizing the talent that you do have.  Henry is huge, fast, and players are extremely hesitant to hit him once he hits an opening.  He's not a do-it-all back, but he's been better at catching and running with the ball than people give him credit for.  We've seen too many big plays from him to exclude him from the future plans for this offense.

To each their own but this board absolutely overrates the shit out of him as a whole, I wasn't simply implying the board thinks he is a HOFer

I disagree. Good but not great is where most people fall on Henry. The problem is that one or two people got too hyped and then the predictable overreaction the other way came. A few on here think he's amazing and a few think he flat-out sucks. Everyone else feels he's good not great even if they can't agree on why they feel that way.
