Can't tackle either of these big guys easily so gonna stack the box so Allen has free receivers all over the field? Plus at his size I'm thinking he's a ĺmassive pain for any pass rush. A de gets by the tackle and has a bead on Allen, then gets pancaked by the King. It could work quite well and add a very solid wrinkle that can pay benefits of it being solid in all weather so if any freakish late season storms pop up then they can pound the ball as needed in such conditions. Agree 100%. My big concern is will Dorsey be able to have the rights calls and schemes to take full advantage of this two headed monster? Quote

I understand Frazier because he is what he is but Dorsey is in year one. We were a better offense under Dorsey than we were Dabbol in 2021. That includes Allen tearing his UCL in week 9. He needs to utilize players better but I think players let us down last year. McKenzie and Davis most of all. No Crowder. OL was bad, mainly LG and RT. It was year one. He did adjust his redzone offense. Started bad but finished strong. It’s what gave me confidence he will be good. 1 Quote

And it ain’t 4 years ago he has worn a lot of tread off those tires. So the question becomes with Derrick Henry need that many touches in order to be effective as a running back Because I’m telling you right now having that guy in your back field is going to change the way a team defends your offense you put light boxes in front of this guy and he will destroy you 3 hours ago, newcam2012 said: Agree 100%.

Never be afraid of our team is going to handle being more talented on the field. They will figure it out. 1 1 Quote

That said, we need BLOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blocking and better receivers. If we could get the above then great, sign Henry. If not, he will just get destroyed just like any other RB with bad blocking. For what the guy has done in his career, he's about as humble a person as he can be. Hate the team he plays on, but he is a total class act. Won't object to trading for him if the price is right as long as it doesn't involve blowing up our draft. The Titans would probably pull the trigger on a trade, Jeffrey Simmons is gonna want to get paid soon so trading Henry makes sense 1 Quote

Simon Says Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 14 hours ago, ColoradoBills said: So, let's just take the ball out of Josh's hands and give to Henry 350 times a season. Fix the OL and let Josh throw the ball. If this were to happen and I doubt it will...Henry would probably not carry the ball 350 times in Buffalo. Singletary had 177 carries last year so Henry would presumably take those and some of Josh's carries. But do you want to take the ball out of Cook's hands,too? How would Diggs react if HE got fewer targets? Would the Bills be MORE effective if they threw LESS? I would expect higher TOP,keeping the ball away from opponents,but with Henrys career workload and the cap constraints,this pipe dream might be just that. Quote
Joe Ferguson forever Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 watched his 80 yard run that lost us the game in Nashville a couple years ago. He was a man among boys. probably obviates the need for 1 star O lineman. He's punishes defenses. Get em Quote
Playoffs? Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 Would be fun to bet on who’s gonna have the first stiff-arm of the game, Allen or Henry… Quote
nucci Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 well, he was right about OBJ so I guess Henry is coming to Buffalo. Some people just talk too much Quote
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 Just knowing the things we do, his usage would probably infuriate me. McDermott would be giving the guy 9 carries a game for some reason and somehow rotating Hines in to just steal his rhythm. I’d love it if we did it but somehow our game day management would screw it up. Quote

You get Henry, draft a few OL early and toss in a dynamic WR and now your offense can win it all Yeah 3 years ago Derrick Henry would of been that.. Quote
TheFunPolice Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) I would love to see Henry on the Bills with a lighter workload so that he's healthy for the playoffs. Awesome player, unique talent, great person as well. A Henry/Cook 1-2 punch would be sweet! Imagine having to deal with Henry and Allen all game on defense.

Fix the OL and let Josh throw the ball. Well, that amounts to 20 carries per game, give or take...... I think we already do that with Singletary and supporting cast. Why not give it to a MONSTER? Henry is one of the best in the league, and defenses would be afraid not to stack the box (which would of course open up the field for Allen's arm) Quote

chongli Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) That fake Derrick Henry to Buffalo trade posted here by someone (and now deleted) got me all amped up...and now I am having trouble calming down for the evening. [I didn't want Henry anyway, but still, it was big news. Why aren't people like him banned from twitter?] Edited February 26, 2023 by chongli 1 Quote

Bills Fan in MD Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 Until there's a picture of Von posing with Ran Carthon (Titans GM), there's no story here. Quote
