There was talk before the season about what Henry would have to do to get the job. If the staff won't start him now, with how bad Murray has been, then there was never an option if Henry starting. 

 

Henry hasn't exactly grabbed the bull by the horns but he's obviously a 1000x better as a runner. It just isn't happening.

we knew this would happen. the coaches promised him carries when they signed him. 

 

murray looked terrible for the last half of the season. ... still got carries. henry looked better.. murray still got the carries. 

 

the coaches said he'd still be getting the lead back carries all offseason.. he looks even worse than the end of last year... still getting carries. 

 

mularkey did this at other stops too. 

 

he forces the lead back until the lead back has got nothing left... then he continues to force him until the season is over and he has time to sit and think about possibly making changes. the changes rarely come as long as the back is under contract. we will be lucky in this regard next season.

It’s just crazy that a guy can go from top 5 in rushing one year, to one of the worst in the league the next. He’s missing holes and juking right into defenders. It’s like he lost his vision or isn’t trusting his first instincts. 

He was equally terrible the second half of last year.

I don't think it's a matter of starting Henry. It's a matter of benching Demarco.

This better be Demarco's last year here.

 

This offseason i would.........

 

Bring in Carlos Hyde in free agency and draft a back in the mid rounds.

 

Between Henry,Hyde and the new back should be in great shape

 

Sounds like a plan.

I think he is still hurt and it is making him run scared.  He looks like a shell of what we saw early last year before the injury.

 

Either way we gotta find some more running backs, bad.

Carlos Hyde sucks. If we are replacing Murray, we need to draft someone or sign a player that truly complements Henry by being a weapon in the passing game and pass blocking (Dion Lewis?). We need speed from this back.
