Does Phil Mafah give King Henry vibes?

[kskboys]

I have literally never seen a more delusional off season on this site.

I know, right? People are like buying into....well everything.

 

[kskboys]

I disagree on the lacks acceleration and gear shifts.

Yeah, you always disagree w/ the professional assessments. That's why you get it wrong so often.

And I'm pretty sure I covered that in my first sentence did you see it I mean I pretty much wrote you you might be being a bit sarcastic...

I did, and then I saw you write an additional 5 paragraphs.

My concern is if he is suppose to be this big bulldozer back for red zone opportunities, I didn’t see it in this video

I'd like to see Mafah after a few cycles of off-season peanut butter.

He definitely played better when he wasn't hurt. But he played hurt.

Red zone Rbs have to be quick to the hole. Mafah isn't.

...Henry isn't either. Those big bodies need momentum to carry on.

More DeMarco Murray to me

Phil Mafah has neither Derrick Henry's size, speed or cutting ability. He is, however, a highly powerful RB who is capable of breaking tackles. He's not going to make quick cuts but rather, will be more of a runner who rounds off his adjustments, rather than making 75 or 80-degree cuts with relative ease.

Derrick Henry is a generational talent, while Phil Mafah is simply a good RB who appears to be worthy of starting for the Cowboys, at some point fairly soon, imho. That surely isn't set in stone, however. We'll see. Those who anticipate him being another D. Henry will be quite disappointed.

Henry isn't a great red zone RB. He is the best openfield runner I've ever seen, and scores a ton from further out.

Derrick Henry is a generational acquisition while Phil Mafah is simply a good RB who appears to be worthy of starting for the Cowboys, at some point fairly soon, imho. That's not set in stone, however. We'll see. Those who anticipate him being similar to D. Henry will likely be disappointed.

"Good" being the question at this point.

...I didnt realize how big he is, until seeing some college clips. Reminds me of King Henry in younger suit.

May have something here. Mafha wearin em down. Blue takin it to the house

That's surely true enough -- with "good" being a term in the eye of the beholder.

Not really. But hopefully he can do as well as dowdle did. If he can do that and blue can have some explosive plays we may be much improved in run game

 

[conner01]

He’s 2 inches shorter and 20 pounds lighter than Henry.

And slower. For a big man Henry can run

...Ravens just extended him 2yr $30 mill. 31 yrs old too.

Yep!

Yeah…don’t see how you can even make such a grandiose statement looking at a cut-up reel of highlights on a late round draft choice; and compare him to one of the premiere RBs in the NFL year in and year out.
I love the Cowboys, but do we always have to compare Dallas draft picks and UDFAs to these great NFL players without seeing them play a single down in the NFL? Let’s watch these Dallas players play against others just as athletically gifted over some period of time before making such proclamations.

No. It’s the off season. If fans can’t say ridiculous things now when can they? He’s like Derrick Henry. Only better. I actually get a Jim Brown “vibe” from him.

No, it's in whether he's good enough to play in the NFL. We don't know at this point.
