mead107 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 are you saying that we should keep him or start him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcrusho Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Then he needs to prove he is better..... That always puzzled me, If travis says he is the #1 back then why doesnt he prove it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 remember when people actually thought he was better than Mcgahee this time last year 258741[/snapback] It's the same as people saying Drew is better than JP. Honestly, there was no way to tell who the stronger back was at the time, just like there isn't really any way to tell yet who is the better QB. Hopefully JP will be an upgrade just like Willis was. But at the same time, it's not like Travis sucks. He's not Willis, but he's still a pretty good back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin in Va Beach Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 No, he should lose it from being tackled by hash marks and goal lines in the first couple of games he played this past season. If Henry were able to keep his balance in clutch situations, we'd have made the playoffs even with stonehead at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeleelop Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Travis did not lose his job because of injury. He lost his job because he failed. Two examples - Oakland, tripped on the goal line. New England - 3rd down before the Bledsoe botched bootleg, he tripped again when there was a huge hole. Henry continuously showed he was not capable of blocking. Henry is definately a step below Willis. He is capable, but does not have the potential to be a superstar. Last year people were unsure how Willis would perform. We know now that he is better. BTW, I thought this issue was over months ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Man Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 He lost it because McGahee came in and played like a beast. McGahee doesn't have fumbilitis, doesn't get tackled by the invisible lines the networks show on tv, and can actually pick up the blitz. Not to mention, he stiff armed Ray Lewis and not only lived to tell about it, but ran for quite a gain after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ALMOST could have lived with what you are talking about above.....what I absolutely could not was his pathetic attempt at pass protection.....

He's more of the 'Give me the ball and I'll run with it' type of RB. Ask him to do more is probably asking too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I wasn't saying Henry was better. I always thought that if his knee was sound, McGahee would be the superior back. I think the Bills also believed that too, and were just waiting until he was healthy to give him a chance to prove it. He did. Why are you trying to make the arguement now? It's time to move on.
