Derrick Henry

[N.AL-Tider]

At the start of the season I was really anxious to see what the Yeldon/Henry tandem would be able to do.  After last night's game I am even more anxious to see what Henry can accomplish when he becomes the feature back.  I would hate to be an opponent's linebacker that has to tackle that guy...

I remember us wondering if Eddie Lacy could handle being the feature back.  Some thought he lacked a step and had fumble problems.

NO PROBLEM!

When he gets a little space and he starts flying down the field with that straight-up body posture he is an awesome sight to behold.

The only problem I see with King Henry, is initial contact at the line. It takes him a few steps to get up to speed. When he is hit prior to that, he goes down pretty easily. But Lord, when he gets up to speed, look out!

His top end speed is really deceiving to LBs and DBs I think. They take bad angles......or maybe they avoid head on contact with 6' 3" 240 lbs. running 4.5.

We're finally going to have a mature and experienced O-line again next year.  Henry, Drake, Jones, Tenpenny... Kiffin (if he's still around) figuring how to take advantage of each player's skills.  Look out!

Good point about the O-line.  It's been 2 years since we had a strong returning line.
Just imagine how dominant they could be if healthy!

We're only losing Arie and Shep, right?
