Could Henry trade end up being the McCaffrey trade for Cowboys?

Henry and a time machine set for 2018 100% lets go. Current day Henry overpaid 4.4 YPC no thanks. People sure do be living in the past.

For what we do offensively yes. We can use Pollard as our scat back after Henry pounds the **** out of the defense. Also pollard woukd be 3rd down back. Get her done Jerty!!

Won’t happen, would need the FO to admit they made a mistake during the offseason at the position

Could this trade end up being the McCaffrey trade which changes the offense for Dallas?

I have seen the threads about aged running backs and how they have a use before date. Yet McCaffrey energized the 9ers offense. I'm not much for trading for this position. I believe the offensive line is much more important and needs a shot in the arm. There might be a strong possibility Henry gets here and is stifled by defenses because the Dallas line can't open holes. If that is the case then a trade like this is pointless.

But....
Adding a player who gets the tough yards, and goes into a rotation with Pollard might strengthen the running game. Just that fact changes the play action. And that can change a great deal about how defenses face this offense.

Now before anyone says it, I doubt Jethro and his cohort Little Enos will pull the trigger on something like this. I've thought about it and wonder if there is enough logic to make this trade. But as we all know, logic and Jerry broke up long before Jerry broke up with Jimmy.

What say you about this being the lynchpin to change the offense?

I feel like the OL being upgraded is a bigger priority.

That unit seems to continually disappoint vs tougher competition.

You know McCaffrey is not playing in a Super Bowl I mean did I miss something or did that McCaffrey trade make them better but yet not they've been to a Super Bowl without him they have not been to a Super Bowl with him yes it was a really good trade but in the end it did not make them better because they haven't got past where they've gotten without him.. Unless Christian McCaffrey brings the 49ers a Super Bowl is actually the sole reason of a Super Bowl then we can talk about it but in the end a running back typically isn't launching you into a Super Bowl we've already seen it some of the best running backs in history the ones that have had the greatest seasons have not even played in the Super bowl let alone 11 outside of Emmett Smith and a couple of others it's very rare that the top running back is seen playing in the Super bowl.. So that'd be a no if Henry couldn't launch the Titans at their peak end of the Super bowl and neither can any of the top running backs that we've discussed over the last five years get us into a Super Bowl or get other teams into a Super Bowl then we're barking up the wrong tree

so let's talk about the lack of a run game because of the scheme the execution the fact that the offensive line just is not physical enough at the point of attack we're playing on our side of the line of scrimmage a lot and that would not help Derrick Henry

I agree it would be. I think people are underestimating the impact Henry would have on this offense. Redzone, wildcat formations, blocking, and even dump offs, all that coupled with it making Pollard go back to what he is good at and changing the pace.

Lets also not leave out how PHYSICAL Henry is. Something this finesse team is sorely lacking, and that also will rub off on other guys. He will beat up opposing teams defenses as well making them less willing to tackle.

You want an identity? Go get Henry. Grind other teams into submission.
