Simon Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Im sorry I had to waste my time rewriting my posts because idiots like you dont understand them. Actually, I'm sorry too. In the future, please feel free to allow me to wallow in my ignorance. Pretty please?
BADOLBILZ Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 I know it is hard to let go of Travis Henry, but did this guy make an impression on anyone else? He is really explosive and plays to the whistle. I know size has GOT to be a concern, but the guy could be a nice back up. Could that pave the way for a Travis Henry trade? T_R 158860[/snapback] Decent backs are a dime-a-dozen. I like Williams, he was the leading rusher in the SEC in 2003 and is durable and physical for his size. It helps that he has that knack for not taking the brunt of a big hit. But quality back up running backs are not that hard to find. Joe Burns is an adequate backup, as long as he holds on to the football and they don't try to throw it to him.

T_R 158860[/snapback] No, not at all. Williams went down after first contact every time. Henry breaks tackles. Not like McGahee, but he still breaks tackles. Williams just doesn't have the weight to do so.

Look at his TD run. He dragged a couple of guys the last two yards if I recall correctly.
bbb Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Am I the only one who was really impressed with Henry as a pure runner. I thought as I pure runner he was better than Thurman. He was lousy at everything else, especially picking up blitzes, and this year he was just horrible, period. Slipping all over. But, 2 years ago, I never saw anybody break so many tackles, since Earl Campbell. Last year, the last 10 games, he was almost as impressive.

But lets remember Travis is a good RB. Stick him in Denver and he gets 1,600 yards and 14 TD's. Remember when TD picked Willis - the whole town was about to tar and feather him. We loved Henry.
Alaska Darin Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Your either stupid or you just cant understand what I wrote and put meaning to it. The Cleveland drive was a POS drive and everyone on here knows it. Another poster already sayed that above. NOW - im not saying the pre-season was meaningless. I was just mentioning that he ALSO looked good in the pre-season. Making the point, that everyone says that pre-season doesnt matter. So why should 3 minutes left in a game where the Cleveland starting D' is out matter? It is basically the same thing. Im sorry I had to waste my time rewriting my posts because idiots like you dont understand them. 158892[/snapback] Ooh, somebody's fishing for a timeout.

KurtGodel77 Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Someone here was touting Travis as a "top 5" RB two months ago. 158871[/snapback] Maybe they meant that Travis was worth a draft pick in the top five rounds.
KurtGodel77 Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Joe Burns is an adequate backup, as long as he holds on to the football and they don't try to throw it to him. 158928[/snapback] You could say the same thing about Travis.
