Is Henry our best back. ?
- Thread starter bamacpa
- Start date
Yeldon is really good at pass protection. But pure running back..yes..Henry is performing the best right now.
They are all good but I prefer Drake because of his speed. He just fumbles to much to get consistent PT. It looked like he was the starter today as he was the #1 back on the next drive after he caught that 87 yard bomb. Until he fumbled..
It's a tough call for me between Yeldon or Henry.....Truthfully the O-Line in not run blocking well at all and whatever yards are made are up to the RB. Yeldon had some FANTASTIC runs today where he was dead behind/at the LOS and had to weave and glide to get anything. Maybe Henry hits the SLIVER of daylight harder but the O-Line isn't helping them at all.
I think all three of our backs are excellent. Coming into the season I thought Henry was our best back, hands down. Now, season to date, I'd rate T.J. number one, Kenyan number two, and Derrick 3.
I'd just like to see a little more emotion from Derrick.

Yep ,,Joe cribbs had lateral movement and didn't lose any speed you can't coach that, you got it or you don't was cat quick and this #20 ,has a build similar to sims.He will be very good wait and see.
If Drake can solve his fumbling problem, he will make a lot of money in the NFL. But it is a real problem.

I think a lot of Henry's yards today came on a tired Gator D. With that being said, I think he is the most powerful back we have. Drake is the fastest and TJ is a little of both. JMHO.

I'd bet that T.J. has fumbled many more times than Kenyan. I don't understand why Coach Saban benches Kenyan for a fumble when he has continuously allowed T.J. to fumble in critical situations without any penalty at all.
I don't have the stats in front of me, but, again, I'd bet that T.J. has turned it over way more than Kenyan.

it is so weird watching him run. it looks like he is lollygagging and next thing i know he is running right by people. i never know what to expect but most of the time he gets more out of the play than i thought possible.
Do what? All of his yards came on the first play of the game(the long pass) and his first carry of the game,(ten yards before fumbling) which was our second offensive play of the game.
That happened because the Gator defense was tired?
I'm missing it.

I don't understand it either. It seemed like Drake got punished for his fumble but White got a pass. Both guys fumbled but Drake was rarely in the game after his.
Many times I see the exact opposite with Henry. He seems to run very tentatively. It was very apparent in the first half today. Then midway through the 3rd quarter he seemed to be. Different type of back.

Sorry sip, I meant to say Henry got a lot of his yards on a tired Gator D, not Drake. I'll edit it...
