So Henry has been significantly better in yards after contact before this season which still has a long ways to go and Henry has been better in broken tackles.Some more food for thought
Zeke
Henry
- Yds per carry before contact: 2018 2.8, 2019 2.3, 2020 1.8
- Yds per carry after contact: 2018 2.0, 2019 2.3, 2020 2.3
- Broken tackles: 2018 19, 2019 24, 2020 9
- Yds per carry before contact: 2018 1.9, 2019 1.9, 2020 3.1
- Yds per carry after contact: 2018 3.1, 2019 3.2, 2020 1.7
- Broken tackles: 2018 34, 2019 28, 2020 8
The trend since 2018 is that Zeke is getting quicker, but is gaining yds after contact at the same pace. While Henry is not getting touched until he is further downfield, but goes down quicker once he is hit. I think this clearly illustrates the decline of our OL and the improvement of the Ten OL.
Interesting that even though Henry is 6'3 and 250 lbs, Zeke is breaking more tackles (this year) and gaining more yds per carry after being hit. He has 208 yds after contact on 89 carries vs 204 on 123 carries for Henry.
Lol “zeke is breaking more tackles”...by one! Maybe he’s also breaking “more tackles” because he’s not as elusive as Henry therefore defenders are getting his hands on him more.
Regardless, there’s not enough of a difference between the two to say zeke is that much better and there sure as hell isn’t a difference enough between the two to say zeke was worth the 4th overall pick when we could have had Henry in the 2nd. Henry is also costing less than zeke, didn’t hold out with two years left on his contract and hasn’t been a headache off the field since before the draft even started.
Take Henry over zeke all day.
