Understood but we had greater needs on defense with that 4th overall pick . And still could have landed a solid RB in 2nd round like Henry.No we reached because we had Romo and Zeke happened to be one of the best blocking backs in the draft as well as runner.

Well, Henry is what Zeke was supposed to be...a special blend of speed and power. Zeke should be busting long runs like Henry does, but he doesn't. And everyone wants to just say "stacked boxes". Henry faces many more stacked boxes than Zeke does. Henry hits home runs various ways...he uses speed and can make people miss in the open field, he can break tackles, and he can stiff arm. His 99 yard TD is just a monster of a run.Needs a class on long runs also.
We had bigger needs but once again we have to go back to that year. They felt Zeke would keep the defense off the field and help Romo.Understood but we had greater needs on defense with that 4th overall pick . And still could have landed a solid RB in 2nd round like Henry.
The best OL in NFL shouldn’t have needed top RB. Murray was a great example. We simply became too arrogant of the OL and though a RB by committee would be enough.
Henry could end up demanding more from the salary cap than Elliott who has already been extended. Henry is due in 2020. If he THAT special, he'll get more than Elliott did, right?
Hindsight, and it took until Henry’s 4th season for it to even pop up
Yeah...after one 27 yard run yesterday...I was shocked to see Henry stay in the game for the next play and run the ball again.I would rather have a RB who doesn't have to take himself out every other play because he's out of shape and can't handle the workload. I would understand if he were 54 like me, but he isn't.

Henry would have 4 rushing titles if he were drafted by the Cowboys in 2016. If people think Zeke has been hamstrung by bad QB play and stacked boxes then Henry shouldn’t have a chance in Tennessee. Dude faces stacked boxes at a much greater % of his runs than Zeke has. Dude is a beast and can break long runs with the best of them.

His 66 yard run yesterday started by breaking a tackle 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage and then making Carr miss in order to get into the open field against a 9 man box.
Of course but could we have achieved that with our 2nd pick in Henry while obtaining another need like on DL as well with 4th overall pick . Best of both worlds.We had bigger needs but once again we have to go back to that year. They felt Zeke would keep the defense off the field and help Romo.
Those of us Cowboys fans that were pushing for Henry a second round pick and a DE with a first round pick where really looked down on the old DC site.And to think we could have used the 4th pick in the draft on a more important position and taken Henry in the 2nd round?
Will Henry hold out for 16 million a year?
Well as proof by what we’ve seen? No we wouldn’t have because Henry didn’t become Henry until year 4.....now it’s time for a new deal. So no.....I don’t think this team or Romo he’d 4 years to wait for Henry to shed the weight and become the back he is today.Of course but could we have achieved that with our 2nd pick in Henry while obtaining another need like on DL as well with 4th overall pick .

Not only that but help me out here....wasn’t he sharing carries with Demarco Murray earlier in his career?Zeke has more value as a receiving threat and is a better all around back. For those that are envious that Henry seems to always be in the game you obviously haven't watched many Titans games. He played 59% of the Titans snaps this season while Elliott played 84% of the Cowboys.
Seems the coaching staff for the Titans are more efficient with Henry's snaps who played 348 less snaps than Elliott, yet only had 28 less touches. Maybe if you reduced Elliott's snaps per game while still giving a lot of touches it makes him more effective when he gets the ball and we hear less complaining that he's always taking himself off the field.
I don’t think we’d need to have waited 4 years. Titans didn’t have the OL and offense we did . Plus they just traded for Murray as well. Completely different circumstances.Well as proof by what we’ve seen? No we wouldn’t have because Henry didn’t become Henry until year 4.....now it’s time for a new deal.
