Re: Derrick Henry Play Time
I haven't seen anything on TideFans about the excellent play of #27 as he was the 2nd guy off the bench Saturday. What a combo of speed and unadulterated power! Has CNS commented on him? Maybe his pass blocking has improved and he plays in the Iron Bowl due to fumble issues elsewhere. He looks like a Trent who prefers going to the edge and succeeds.
Big Henry is another sharp knife in our arsenal.
I'm looking forward to him playing a bigger part in our Offense.
I really like Dee Hart, but he's not ideal to bust it up the middle very often.
Earlier this year Derrick fumbled a couple of times, and his blocking wasn't great,
now it looks like he's blocking better, and can hold on to the 'Potato'.
I think Derrick Henry is the real deal, and would love to see him play more too.
Question is do we take carries away from TJ or Kenyan to get Henry on the field?
If Yeldon is still kind of banged up, I'd play Derrick behind Drake...
Yeldon already has a 1000 yds., I'd really like to see Kenyon's yards go up too.
We have an embarrassment of riches at Running Back.
