oldschool Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 I don't want to overreact to one game but It seemed pretty clear Lewis was the better all around player. Henry didn't do anything to dispel the notion he's nothing but a closer. big2033, and OILERMAN 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abenjami Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Shouldn’t the bet be snap count instead of carries or touches? EagleEye, and titanruss 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former_Fan Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) I think Henry is too predictable with his runs, and the defenses seem to be ready. If he breaks a tackle watch out, but Lewis much more elusive and versatile. Also don't like the way Mariota hands the ball off sometimes, he holds it too long and makes it obvious. Would be better suited for play action as a decoy. Edited September 12, 2018 by Former_Fan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanruss Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 The bet should be straight snap counts with no caveats. But it they made agreed upon terms and ILF basically spotted Oman 4 games worth of touches over the season. If ILF loses he can partially blame the silly terms.. but if he wins it’s a no excuse stomping. i wouldnt have gone that route but I can see why he did it Mythos27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was even better than I thought. Still, we have this tendency to go overboard and get into the one sucks and other is great argument. It is silly. These guys need to split carries and we need to get the most we can from both of them. Look at the stats from last season. Henry, the one who sucks, averaged 5.5 YPC in the 2nd half last year. When we had the lead he averaged 5.9 YPC. He averaged 6.6 YPC in the 4th quarter. I was surprised to see Lewis average last year when behind by 1-8 points was only 4.2. Only 3.5 when behind by 9-16 points. I would have thought while he got less carries when behind he would have a better average. We certainly don't need to run Lewis too much and take a chance of losing him to injury. I also think Lewis is going to be harder to replace if he goes down. If I had to chose between having Lewis and Fluellen or Henry and Fluellen I'd assume the Lewis combo is a better fit. Maybe use Lewis more early to get the offense off to a good start with run and pass and then utilize Henry more in the 2nd half where he can gouge the defense. Good post. Henry has incredible closer ability and thats exactly how he should be used. Both guys are going to contribute to the team winning this year. At this point I don't see anyone saying henry sucks but I think it's clear based on what we've seen that he isn't a workhorse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
