    What is missed by a lot of Henry-haters is that he is also an outstanding blocker in pass protection. I saw that first hand when my Tennessee Volunteers had just taken the lead over Bama, this past season, in the 4th Qtr and with a few minutes left in regulation. All we have to do is stop Bama from driving the length of the field...which we did most of the game.

    On one play a DL or LB shoots right up the middle and is about to sack Coker, the QB. That would have stalled their drive and we probably would have won. Instead, Henry steps right up into the gap and takes on the defender, and Coker completes his pass...keeping the drive alive. Again...I cannot stand Bama, but Henry is the real deal. He'd be a big weapon in this offense, no doubt.

    So you forgot the major knee injury he had? That is why he didn't have a better career.

    Dunce said the same things about Cam Newton, Patrick Peterson, Earl Thomas. All will be in the hall of fame some day, he predicted failure.

    When the Dunster disses a prospect back up the truck and load up it is the best endorsement a player can have.

    I need to emphasize what a poor analyst Dunce Wayne has been. Dunce continued to predict failure for Cam Newton even after the draft and after Cam's rookie year. Even this season!

    In fact earlier this season, THIS SEASON Dunce said that cam's only good year Cam had was as a rookie and he would continue to fail. Dunce said this season!

    What toxic chemicals would a normal person have to ingest to be that stupid and that wrong?

    This thread will be fun to revisit late in the season next year.

    I think that could be the only block he stuck in his life. Every report I've read criticized his pass blocking and said it was far inferior to all the other RB prospects.

    Dont be fooled by retard "reports", you watch the man play and see first hand how good he lays the wood. Then tell me he's inferior in pass pro..

    I watched him play and would see that he would generally get pulled and Kenyon Drake would come in for passing plays.

    Im doing my homework on Drake right now actually... Drake is more athletic, makes sense to put in your more athletic RB on passing plays
