With the 45th Pick of the 2016 Draft: Alabama RB Derrick Henry

Flying around the country watching some people play football and writing your thoughts down for 80k/yr sounds like a pretty nice job. As long as you're OK with traveling and being away from home.

What job sounds better and pays 80k+/yr? I need that job!

 

I didn't miss your shot at DW, just pointing out living on the road eating Wendys every night making less than a killing isn't worth it to me. People throw that "why aren't you a scout" line at me all the time, but I'd legitimately not want that job...

 

Titan players? You have been wrong so many times one can't count. Marcel Darius, Cam Newton, just about every sec player you have hated. Didn't you bash Chris Johnson?

Ealy? Who gives a f*ck?

How many 247 lb RBs are there in the nfl? With 4.52 speed?

You say he has no vision but many of his biggest runs were cut backs or plays where he bounced it outside. The film is obvious. The long TD in short yardage against Clemson is such a play. The TD against Mich State was such a play.

If Henry was a Michigan back you would be smoking his weenie and gushing about his physical attributes.

 

Let's talk about Bama's o-line.

3 new starters this year. One of them the RT was not even drafted. He was the RT that Dodd pwned in the championship game.

Why did the slow, poor vision poor footwork Henry have a better yards per carry than Kenyan Drake?

Why did Henry average over 2 yards a carry better than Harris the top RB recruit in the nation last year?

If it was just the o-line RB performance would be similar.

 

Nope. Didn't bash Chris Johnson.

In what way was I wrong about Darius?


Rarely wrong, bruh. Get over it.

You say "who gives a f*ck" but you kids are so upset that I'm usually dead on and miss every blue moon.




You'd think eventually you all would learn to stop opposing me on this stuff. But nope. Every time.

 

You guys keep mentioning this anti-SEC bias. It doesn't work like that.

I thought Eddie Lacey was worth the hype. I thought Mark Ingram was good.

I thought Zeke Elliot was lightyears better than Henry.... I hate Ohio State. I wanted us to draft Michael Thomas... was high on Bosa for a short time.


So the "bias" angle... no. I don't care where people went to college other than understanding certain teams have a system that makes anyone look good. Alabama is one- but they've still had decent backs (Ingram/Lacey)





How does a guy get those numbers? By getting the ball a sh*t ton. He misses wide open gaps time after time and will finally hit one and gash a defense. Those wont exist in the NFL.

 

Bishop Sankey had a higher YPC his final college year than Henry did.


But keep throwing out stats.

 

Bishop Sankey played against wet napkins.

 

Exactly...Stankey doesn't even compare...crappy competition...hell of a lot smaller, isn't shifty, can't break tackles, and basically runs the same speed as a guy 4 inches taller that has 35 lbs on him. GTFOH with that bull. Lol
