He is an outside in runner though. The outside zone gives him enough space to do his rounded cut back. If we want to run between the tackles I think Lewis will be the guy in the backfield.

Oman is right on that, he can't just run outside. I think he showed in the Jax and KC games he would run forward. Last year, he was in some type of doghouse with Mularkey/Robiski. Every time he was on the field he was pressing to do something special. I don't think he's going to feel that kind pressure this year. It's not a competition.

NashvilleNinja Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 3 hours ago, Starkiller said: Lewis needs to stay healthy, as durability seems to be his biggest concern. Henry is going to get plenty of carries between keeping Lewis' carries in check and filling in when Lewis is injured. But Henry is a big threat in his own right. If he can become a more controlled runner (without bouncing everything outside) and a better pass blocker he could still be an awesome back. The popular thought is that backs, if they're going to be very good, will show that immediately. But doesn't it take some a little time? Even Adrian Peterson, as good as he was, had a little problem with fumbling the ball his first few years. But he worked on it and got better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, RBs improve over time. Henry still has time to add to his skills and become a better back. He is still young. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the type of run and blocking is the difference for Henry. He isn’t an iso pound the ball through the tackles type of runner. If Henry is going to have any success running in between the tackles it will be in this offense. Henry will have the most success running outside but like I said this outside zone allows him the space to possibly turn back inside. He gets to press the outside and look for something on the inside to open up as the play develops. Where as last year he was hitting the inside and bouncing it out which we all couldn’t stand. The good thing is we have Lewis as well and not everything will fall on Henry. Number9, Titan8425, and XAEA12 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan8425 Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 I think that vid review by the Texan fan is spot on...this offense and blocking scheme should play to Henry's strengths. If the blocking is there I could see Henry getting some crazy runs, and the RB tandem with Lewis being ridiculously good. But only time will tell; as in we don't know shit yet until we see some pads and real games! Number9, XAEA12, and Lewan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliTitan3518 Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Oh and for the record I’m still a Henry hater. Plain and simple though Henry’s role in this offense will feature the things he does well. Lewis will have a far larger role in the offense due to his skill set.

Mythos27 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 We have two really good RBs that compliment each other well. Look back to the Bishop Sankey years to see how petty the conversation has become. Justafan, wiscotitansfan, Number9, and 1 other 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
