Henry/Underneath Routes

[Cowboyz88]

OK, I'm not blaming Henry for the loss, but is anyone else noticing (and getting frustrated) the many times when Henry allows a short route to come up and get flung off by the receiver who then runs for many more yards?

I've noticed it too, his lateral movement is terrible, every game it seems, he's getting juked out of his shoes w/ a simple cut move after the catch

usually not even a cut. They just stop and go.

If I was a WR, i'd be practicing all week long and exploit it.

So far he's struggling in that aspect.

What was the point of bringing in Henry? So he could match up against the bigger wr's in the division... Well even so, if he plays 8-10 yards off that will achieve nothing. We need to press, that gives the pass rush even longer to get to the qb...

Henry has lost the athleticism needed to play CB. He can physical some of the big guys and can match up against some of the receiving TEs we play in the nickel but I think his days are corner are numbered.

Well,the fact that we play 10 to 12 yards off the ball every time, then sprint up to try make tackle without breaking down into tackling position. burns my rear that we are one of the worst tackling teams. How many sacks have we missed because we can't tackle!!

Henry should be our FS.

But, when you are trying to bring down S. Moss and D. Jackson... he's not the only one in the league that would have trouble.
