The NFL has changed a lot in the last 10 years. Henry would be a beast in the NFL 20 years ago (when Eddie was drafted).Eddie George was 6'3 235. He ran 4.4 / 4.5 according to some websites I just looked at.
Dallas has the O-Line. Maybe one of the best in the country. They sorely need a strong running back. Btw, I HATE the Cowboys.He is way faster than George and a bit bigger. Not sure how that will translate though. Like most running backs these days, he will need an oline that can open at least a little whole. On the positive side, it doesn't take much for him to get 3 to 4 yards which isn't too bad these days. He can block and I think he can catch though we haven't seen much of that.
What do you mean? 46 carries is quite a workload if you ask me.He can't bowl over players in the NFL like he did Auburn last Saturday. He also can't handle the work load we have given him. But the one thing he has that will get him payed is break away speed. That you can't coach and it's hard to find. He will be a player in the NFL but his carry load will be like 10-12 carries a game. They also might try to get him more involved in the passing game on 3rd downs than we have.
I think that he means that you can't give RBs that many carries in the NFL because of the beatings that they take. Not sure if that is necessarily true - there have been a few backs who could take that kind of work load and stay injury free (Emmitt Smith comes to mind), but it is rare.What do you mean? 46 carries is quite a workload if you ask me.
I think what he was saying is that 46 carries in a game in the NFL is not going to happen. The team won't do it but a player would never hold up to that kind of punishment.What do you mean? 46 carries is quite a workload if you ask me.
32 GM's would really like to know but unfortunately it is somewhat a crapshoot at this point.
This. There's no telling how he'll do. I'm not sure there was one scout or analysis that thought Trent Richardson would turn out the way he did.I think he'll be a stud.
Of course, I also thought Trent Richardson would be a stud. So who knows.
even this year, his balance and vision seems better in the back half of the seasonI think DH has improved tremendously over last year. He is much more adept at running inside and has really developed a knack for making yardage even after contact. There is still room for improvement but he has become a very good football player.
