As much as I love DH at Alabama, I did not think he would have lasted this long in the NFL. I honestly though TR3 would have had the longer and better career. So, I am glad DH proved me wrong. Here's to Henry lighting defense next year.
I was worried also about the same factors and it seemed to hinder him at first and he's still subject to getting his pins knocked out from under him at the LOS occasionally. However, give him time and he'll make it up to you. I do kinda wonder if they'll acquire a 3rd down type back, more compact and shiftier, with good hands...
It still could impact him like others have said. The Titans will likely look for a RB (if they don't already have one idk about) to compliment his style. IIRC I read something about how they ran more sweeps and outside runs when Henry was in the game this past season.
What caused Henry issues (at least when at Bama) was when there was a yard or two penetration between the tackles (a step or two in front of him once he had the ball), he struggled to avoid the traffic with a quick lateral shuffle step and then go forward. But I watched him a few times in 2017 and his feet are a lot quicker and he's more nimble and agile than he was in college. He has worked very hard to improve this part of his game.
Buzzard, there are indeed some things in life that it`s nice to be wrong about, would you not agree ?
Henry made significant improvement during his final year at Bama in both lateral movement and the lower, forward lean when being tackled in traffic.
Absolutely and a high one. DH will have a monster year if he stays healthy. I will go so far as to say Pro Bowl kind of year.
