Derrick Henry

[waving monkey]

Just wanna come in and learn and spend countless hours on what I need to know about the offense and just everything. Just so I'm prepared and ready to play. Just go out there and work hard and help my team and let everything else fall in place.

I don't really try to worry about individual goals with numbers, but I wanna help my team win games, playoffs, Super Bowls.

Luke Kuechly [is the player I want to face the most]. He's just a great player, very smart and makes a lot of plays. He ain't scared to be physical.

If you ain't working hard, [Nick Saban] is gonna tell you. He's real good at picking up your body language. If your body language is poor, he'll tell you right away.

I would rather see Henry drafted than go with the retreads on the roster now. He is a big, fast, powerful player. He has talent that the current RBs on the roster does not.

 

[Gaede]

I like Henry too.

 

[Hardline]

We need to come out of this draft with either Elliott or Henry.

Nope. Esp not Henry, guy has no wiggle whatsoever.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I wanted Henry till we signed Morris, if he fell to the late 2nd or 3rd, I'd still take him, but not at 34

This offense doesn't need wiggle as much as they need a back that will hit the hole and punch the opposing defense in the mouth. Murray didn't have many moves but he got 1800 behind an OL that is not as good as the one we will have next season.

 

[Aven8]

Been pimping Henry on here the past couple of months as much as Catch17 has been pimping Wentz!

I want him bad. People talk about wiggle, etc, but he never gets caught when he's in the open field. The dude is a truck with speed. He's the type of back where you feel like he's done nothing and you look up in the 3rd quarter and he's got 125 already.

 

[Hardline]

Henry's strength doesn't come from wiggle. Thats not the style that made him great. He is a one cut downhill runner that has the power to get you 3-4 yards every carry and the speed to take it to the house once he gets through the hole.

Prepare for disappointment.

 

[Hardline]

Prepare for disappointment.

Let us see your personal copy of the Cowboys draft plans.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Lets see yours.

I'd say the chances of them drafting Elliott or Henry compared to not drafting them is pretty much in my favor.

 

[LocimusPrime]

He's like Brandon Jacobs ( Giants). He'll bring a load with him. I'd take him in the 2nd-3rd rd. He won't last till the third, but it would be a steeeeeeal

 

[robjay04]

How arrogant considering the Cowboys have met with both players. It's not like they have the resources to meet with every 2nd-3rd round prospect but they felt Henry was worth it. They at least have interest.

The fact is nobody on this board has any clue on the Cowboys draft plans. There are no "odds" when nobody knows. The only position that is likely to not be a priority would be interior linemen and kicking, every other spot is on the table.

 

[AbeBeta]

I like Henry but he strikes me as a back that you'll get a few good years out of and then see diminished performances later. By year three his style is going to catch up to him.

Murray made plenty of guys miss. You don't get 1800 by not making guys miss. Henry is overrated as hell

If Henry didn't go to Bama I bet people wouldn't hype him like this. Smh

We have met and continue to meet lots of players every year we do not draft. No arrogance just facts.

 

[BigStar]

Then time to not resign and move on with pick ups since then I'm not either or with Henry, and would even sacrifice the 2nd (I know it would be more, etc.) for Wentz if the team thinks he's the only QB worthy in the draft in the 1st to avoid a Prescott perspective towards the QB of the future.

So you are not into taking top talent. You would not make a good GM. There is a greater chance one of these two are selected over Goff or Wentz.
