Yeah I figured something like that.yeah, at first I thought it was a troll photo - but I found out it's at the Rookie Premiere, of which on Derrick Henry went to.
I would assume thats Bohringer.

Considering the nameplate in the picture says Bohringer, I'd say you're on to something.
Many of Henry's best runs were when he did not have a gaping hole to run. In the Mississippi St. game he went of tackle, bounced wide left and outran the entire defense for a long 65 yard TD.
Gary Danielson was comparing him to Eric Dickerson after that run.
What back do you know has a better stiff arm than this guy?
Then there is the catch and run TD vs Oklahoma in 2014. He runs through that defense like they are a juco team. You can't credit blocking with this play. A poster named Carp said that Henry was worthless in the passing game. Was he worthless on that play? He had a similar catch and run against Ohio State.
In 2014 he took a screen against Florida on a 3rd and 25 and got 29 yards.
I'm talking size and style...CJ had 4.24 speed Henry has 4.54 so not sure that's a good comparisonI dont see an EG comparison at all. Henrys got top end speed that EG never had.
He plays more similarly to CJ then EG imo.

I agree completely, Blount is another good comparison. I'm looking forward to see what he can do.Yea CJ had all world speed. Huge difference. There's a lot of EG in DH.
However there's not a back in the league rn like DH. Blount similar but more lateral quickness and stronger at the POA.
Henry is a weird combination of size and speed for the position. High variance runs won't be effective for him, in a power scheme he doesn't have the lateral ability to bounce it outside and play outside the X's and O's.
In a zone scheme he works defenders with speed at the POA, angling the run and forcing the play side edge defender to slide outside and defend wider than they would like. Opening up small creases for him to attack.
He can get skinny, he can slide thru smaller holes than you'd expect as well as break trough arm tackles like nothing. Power inside the hole is good enough at the next level.
Once past the LOS his speed and subtle moves makes him more of a speed back- but then he crushes a DB with his stiff arm and you see his strength.
Like I said weird combo. Scheme for him is paramount
I've double backed and watched even more Henry- and your takes are so far from the truth. This "gaping" hole theory is bs.
When he did have a good hole it was often set up by him causing the defender to creep in the wrong direction before he cut it back inside
However if we force him to run primarily "power" man to man schemes, it will slow his transition down.
I agree completely, Blount is another good comparison. I'm looking forward to see what he can do.
Blount is slow, and weaka$$ b1tch...like you. You are doubling down on stupid...carry on.Blount is amazing.
And looked amazing in college.
Henry isn't HALF the athlete that Blount is.
There are lots of arguments for why Derrick Henry might bust. You should maybe pick one of the arguments that isn't objectively disprovable.Blount is amazing.

You're trying to show DW he's wrong with facts? lol DW gives not one single f*ck about facts or truth. He's just a troll. stop taking him seriously.There are lots of arguments for why Derrick Henry might bust. You should maybe pick one of the arguments that isn't objectively disprovable.
Bingo...He definitely likes the D.You're trying to show DW he's wrong with facts? lol DW gives not one single f*ck about facts or truth. He's just a troll. stop taking him seriously.
Probably because he's highBlount is on another planet.
Also... for everyone that thinks Henry is powerful- is there any video evidence of him dragging a pile? Pushing a pile on goal line, etc?
He runs like a scat-back. Very Lendale White (pro version- not college)
