He is anything but fat and I wished that he would run straight ahead at times.I stopped reading after that guy said Henry was a straight-ahead runner and fat. He's literally the exact opposite of that.
Lol....goes way back to a couple of things. At some point in history, there was a peeing contest between Ohio University in Athens and us, The Ohio State University, about legal naming rights, etc, might even have gone through the court system....pretty stupid actually. That prompted an overt effort on the part of the University to use the formal legal name The Ohio State University on just about everything of a formal nature.....at some point during player introductions for high profile NFL games, all of our guys began saying THE Ohio State University for swagger effect or whatever, who knows...but it has stuck ever since....it's been 30 years or so....the first guy I ever remember was Cris Carter when he was with the Eagles in the 80's....may have been some guys prior to that even...just don't remember.Welcome! Would you please explain why there's emphasis on "The" Ohio St. U? Seems already implied.
The kid reminds me alot of Eddie George, same build, much the same running style....Eddie's junior and senior years it was pretty much man -v- boys. Beast.....I stopped reading after that guy said Henry was a straight-ahead runner and fat. He's literally the exact opposite of that.
I dunno. He seems to have found some rhythm running wide lately. His struggles mid-season seemed to be with a lot of inside stuff. He's a big guy, so I guess it kinda makes sense...not going to get small through any holes...tall enough that the defenders don't lose sight of him behind the linemen either.He is anything but fat and I wished that he would run straight ahead at times.
Kinda, without the dominant TEs that he always had at Florida, and then Barrett went down. I am sure that you will see most of the Florida Meyer offense, but some things are going to have to be changed as Jones looked incapable of making anyone miss against in the B1G Championship game. He is huge - 6'5" and well over 250 - but he had no quickness at all in that game.Does OSU run the same stuff Meyer ran at Florida?
I went back and looked at some videos and it looks similar. He's setting the tailback deeper - play-action rather than zone-read - than he used to. He also uses the wingback more than he used to.Kinda, without the dominant TEs that he always had at Florida, and then Barrett went down.

Not sure what Meyer will do with him, but the read/option became a straight handoff by the end of that game. When Cardale kept the ball, he was swarmed or it turned out to be a play action pass play.
He was effective with the play action, but that was because we had a huge day rushing. In short - stuff our run game and you force Meyer to run an offense that will look nothing like the one he ran at Florida.
I actually responded to that post with a pic of Henry, and reminded them of his size, because the pix will fool you, At 6'4" and 240, he just doesn't look that big, until you see him up against the other players. I didn't think anyone could make Fowler look petite. Also, he's our fastest back at low 4.4s 40 time, just a tiny bit faster than Yeldon...I don't know if Henry is the fastest guy but his size and long stride seems to cause defenders issues with pursuit angles. Mizzou was a solid team when it came to angles of pursuit...but on a few of those long runs, the LBs and safeties just took bad angles when they seemed like they should have contained the run to 10-15 yards.
I was good friends with Chris Carter's middle brother, John. Cool cat except for when Ohio State and Bama played in 86. He talked the most trash that I had ever heard leading up to the game. Afterwards, he was no where to found for a couple of days.Lol....goes way back to a couple of things.

Ill add Ole Miss too, but they aren't as good with Treadwell out.Not so sure about that. I would rather play them with their 3rd string QB than a rematch of Miss St, or Auburn.
