Interesting there is a year and a half age difference between 2 guys who graduated high school the same year and were drafted the same year. Remember also that Henry averaged 349 carries a season in high school. He had 462 carries as a senior! I've never really seen HS usage being cited much when talking about a RB's longevity. Is that overly unusual for a dominant RB on a team that probably didn't have much else similar talent to rely on? does it actually correlate with how much NFL a RB can take?

He is also insurance if we lose Lewan after 2023 because he can play LT. I would offer Conklin a 7 year deal. There is zero chance Conklin can be a LT. He's terrible in pass protection and consistently needs a lot of help -- when he doesn't get it, he's burned badly. Conklin is a road grading RT, and not even a dominant one at that. I think he's a worse version of David Stewart. He does fit the system with Henry as lead back, and Conklin works well in unison with the rest of the line. freakingeek, oldschool, and ChemEngr79 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamalisms Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Tagging a RB twice before moving on isn't the worst idea in terms of getting use and avoiding a long term commitment ... if that's the goal ... and if you don't think a hold out is the response.

Transition tag lets us make him an offer after he tests the market. It seems to me that would be a good option. That would pay him $10,000-$12,000 for next year and we’d get another year out of him. I’m sure he probably wouldn’t be very happy about it though. Save the franchise tag as a back up plan if they can’t agree on a long term deal with Tannehill. Franchise rage would be around $25,000 for Tannehill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thor Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Tannehill is not some great QB --- would be nice to sign him to a moderate contract. Henry got a lot of carries this year --- I'd try to sign him to a 3-4 year deal or franchise him for 1 year. Personally, I've been really impressed with the Memphis running back Gibson this year + at Senior Bowl. Seems like a nice contrast backup to Henry and an interesting 3rd down back. I would guess Gibson's a third-fourth round guy. Was interesting that Scott Wright has him listed as the #18 WR 6'06" 221 4.48/40 that surprised me.

bizzyeddie Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 If we sign tannehill to a deal making him our QB of the foreseeable future I've come to the conclusion just let Henry walk. Invest as little as possible in the offense. We have weapons...use em and get an o-line that can pass block and throw the ball. Invest as much as you can in the defense...we got a defensive minded coach so go that route...and quit with the ground and pound shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
