    He ran a wrong route first game as a rookie? Can't say I'm shocked.

    Like I said, unless he gets better he won't play more. Of course he can get better.

    He obviously ran the ball well enough to deserve to play more than he did, so why didn't he? Because he was a negative in the passing game. If you can't protect the QB you can't play.

    I agree, but to point out that he ran a wrong route week 1 against the Vikings is insane.

    His carries were what they were because Murray was playing lights out last year.

    I understand you have your beef with Alabama players, but you're blowing smoke when it comes to Henry. He looked good RUNNING the ball last year.

    Was Henry the complete back he's expected to be? No. But he'll get better and learn and the process goes.

    Can't wait to see how Dalvin Cook does. Maybe he can be the perfect back.

    Yeah, I mean, I said all of these things. I don't know what you're taking as a slight....

    Indeed you did. Was just pointing out the "wrong route" against the Vikings defense in week 1 as a rookie statement.

    Right. An analytics site, who studies every single snap for every player, overlooked a bunch of missed blocks that you and only you saw. Got it. I'm glad to know that I'm wrong.

    Adrian Peterson was woeful in pass protection during his prime. Just sayin.

    We don't need amazing pass blocking from our RB on every down. I believe both Murray and Henry are plenty good enough, but our Offensive Line and TE's do a damn fine job. Jalston Fowler can block well too. I'm not sweating that aspect. I liked his YPC and vision for a big back.

    You always want a RB to be able to block at the last line of defense, but to call him out specifically for that is crazy.

    Henry did really good from what I saw. He will get better at blocking and running routes.

    His only battle is Murray playing lights out.
