Twitter: 2016 Draft Derek Henry & Zeke

You should go follow the Giants.

You first

You first

IM not the one here bashing our players sir. And I brought it up because the OP made it seem like Zeke is a nothing RB. Nothing RBs dont come close to record setting seasons.

So about 69 carries for Henry and 76 carries for Elliott., pretty close to even considering that they weren't handed the ball every time a team used an eight-man front.

It is interesting, though, that it was roughly the same amount of plays.

There are still questions their disparities in touches raise even if you take this away. Surely, you cannot believe that a straight-up comparison of their last 500 carries tells the whole story.

Again just pointing out that those disputing the last 500 carries is biased because Zeke is the offensive focus and Henry is not... Aren't being dsct based.

I can tell you are all nerded up

LOL more insults.

Well I probably lift more than you do and I'd be surprised if you were ever a better athlete than I was. I tore my Achilles last year playing sports but even now a year removed I'm still dunking basketballs.

Again what does this have to do with Henry being more productive than Zeke over their last 500 carries despite Henry facing a higher percentage of stacked boxes?

Here's your sample man stuff your face with it Bonn Appetit.......

You're not going to convince me of anything with a volume based approach. Tell me about his efficiency numbers.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

The Cowboys have the most cap space in the NFC next season and third most after Miami and Indy in the NFL.

Yeha and like 30 people signed.

Also this idea if you have cap space waste it is amazingly bad. Cap space doesn't expire. It can roll forward. A dollar wasted is a dollar wasted.

No. Downplaying anything Zeke does.

I'm sorry that I'm not claiming he's the best RB in the league, since he had the most rushing yards with the most carries. That make you feel better?

 

[G2]

How about using the entire body of work and not "the last 500 carries?" Or any other chunk.

 

[percyhoward]

How many attempts did each have last year inside the 5? Assuming you are say Henry had better success on the some amount of tries?

What's my stance on Zeke?

Well I guess there is such a thing as a stupid question, well done.

we'll never know, but the idea a Heisman Trophy RB out of Bama couldn't produce behind the 2016 OL is rather weird

He looked really bad his rookie year if my memory serves me correct...

Its not me you should apologize to. Its Zeke.

 

[CF74]

He averaged 4.5 yards per carry his rookie year. He was in a timeshare and in an offense that had exactly one 300 yard passer.

I seem to recall he had major issues his rookie season. Something about wanting to quit, was out of shape, struggled tremendously...

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Yeah that's what I thought. Keep moving on.

Dumb as

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

He'll have to earn that apology. If he becomes the best then he'll get it.

 

[stilltheguru]

Henry has faced the highest % of 8+ men boxes in the entire league since entering the league. "You dont play eight men in the box against Henry as much...." Yes you do, apparently.

Thinking that D's focus in on Zeke more than every other RB is flawed logic that is not at all aligned with reality

Most people post a link.

Lol this thread is too good!!
