Elliott vs Henry

[cowboyec]

i wanted henry in that draft.
but zeke is a helluva player.
still don't understand why henry wasn't regarded as a first rounder coming out.

Zekes had the worst guard play in football since Leary left. It doesntt help that Travis got sick then Retired. Trade lines and zeke still puts up pro bowl numbers.

Too big and slow.
He used to get caught in the backfield too easily at Alabama because of his slow feet. But if he gets up a head of steam, watch out!
Besides, running backs are valued as highly as they used to be.

The amount of hate zeke gets… zeke Carrie’s this team for 3-4 years at least. Guy was a beast. Rarely misses a game….could always be counted on to get tough yards. And he’s still going.

He was a great draft pick. Not his fault his best years were wasted like so many other cowboys players…. Because of inferior coaching

Hey, but we drafted Alabama RB, Bo Scarbrough, in 2018! He was supposed to be Zeke's replacement.

What did I step in? All I did was post some stats. Do you think those stats are legit?
All I did was do a side by side comparison.

Henry wasn't a full time starter until year 3

Sequel has had a suspension and injuries.
Had Henry started Year 1 he'd be way ahead of Sequel.

Henry is the the Titans Pro Bowl RB

Pollard is the Cowboys Pro Bowl RB

Even the NFL has their Marketing Mixed up ha ha ha

Henry vs Zeke marketing is a joke

Henrys 4.2 yards per carry is on 360 projected carries w 1800+ yards.

If washed up Zeke had 360 carries this year for Tenn he'd average about 2.8 yards per carry if he didn't have a stroke first ha ha ha

Will the real Battering Ram please stand up

I could see Zeke breaking an 80 yard run the first play just to hype up the ratings. Lmao

I hope Henry plays. I want to see if we can tackle him on grass. We're usually tackling going backwards.

That is just part of what makes Elliot so valuable, he is without peers the best blocking back in the NFL and has been since his draft day. Why do you see no value in that?

LOL, way to burst their bubble. Small details.

 

[Redline360]

Perfect example of why taking stats at face value means absolutely nothing without looking at the big picture.

 

[RonnieT24]

Both are great backs.. The biggest difference to me is the style of offense they play in. One guy is getting the ball 20 times a game come hell or high water.. The other guy MIGHT get 15 carries. In their first three seasons it was reversed. Not coincidentally, so was their production. There is no doubt that Henry has less miles on him than Zeke does because of sharing carries early in his career.. But Zeke is taking less of a beating at this stage because HE is now sharing carries. I don't think you could go wrong drafting either guy.. and said at draft time that I'd be happy with either. Nothing I've seen over the last 7 years has changed that stance for me.

Zeke has double the amount of passing yards compared to Henry even though Henry has better rushing and TD stats by the skin of his teeth.

That is because Henry has an OC that understand the run inside the 5 yard line.

He had a slow 3-cone so a bunch of draft nerds said he wouldn't be able to succeed in the NFL because he took too long to get up to speed. This is why the combine should be viewed with a grain of salt. Until they start playing the games with cones sprinkled on the field, I'm not going to care a whole lot about how well a guy runs through them.

Context, my good friend - context. In actuality, Henry’s stats have been compiled in about half the time of the overpaid Ewok’s.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

People need to put respect on his name. Since 2016 these are probably the two best backs in the league.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Amazing how close their stats are.
Zeke did lose 6 games due to his unfair suspension.
If he Played those 6 games in his prime I am sure he would be ahead

Good point as well.
