so we mad we didn't get henry again?
lord if you don't sign the favorite retread, the season is over.
Henry is light years ahead of the trash we have right now. And this isn't a compliment to Henry but more to show how bad our RBs are. We easily have one of the, if not the, worst collection of RBs in the league. It makes the 2015 collection of McFadden, Dunbar and Randle look like hall of famers.
Aaron Jones, Joe Mixon, Derrick Henry. All guys who could easily carry the load here and on a modest salary.
No idea if this front office felt burned by Zeke and Pollard the last years and decided to go the total opposite direction and go as cheap as possible at RB. But there is a fine medium from handing out huge contracts to the RB and being as cheap as possible. There is an abundance of RBs that come out of college every year and can be had in rounds 3-5. This RB room is embarrassing.
The easiest way to control a game is to churn out first downs on the ground. But with us, any yardage on 3rd down over 1 yard is almost a passing down.
