You don't pay that much for a situational back. Henry is a bellcow and he gets better as the game goes on. He's also not a passing back, which means he is either a blocker or a runner. With Josh Allen, I don't think this makes sense. Austin Ekeler? Different story. Quote

Austin Ekeler? Different story. Henry has gotten better at receiving out of the backfield. He suffered from bad QB play in TN. Get him on a little swing out of the backfield with a full head of steam and watch some corner (RIP Josh Norman) try to stop him Quote

And you know what would help him out even more? Running against light boxes like he would here. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/2061188/derrick-henry/splits/ His career numbers don't bear that out. Quote
Alphadawg7 Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 2 hours ago, NastyNateSoldiers said: I actually seen Henry on multiple occasions rip threw defenses with 4 offensive lineman missing from the starting lineup on top of that he’s facing 8/9 man boxes . Playing for the Bills he will go off we would be unstoppable and probably punt less then once per game for a full season. Then why has his YPC significantly declined for the past 2 seasons? He went from 5.0 to 4.3 once his OL started declining. Quote

He would be an absolute monster playing next to Josh. Quote
Worstcaseontario Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Henry would be a beast on the bills, just that threat alone of having an actual run game.. 1 2 Quote
boyst Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 I can't believe people think this is something that can easily happen. I'd do it if he agreed to rework his deal to a 3 yr deal spreading out the $10mm w/3rd year voidable. 1 Quote

No. But, agreed.... he could certainly be extended to make it work. 3 hours ago, Alphadawg7 said: Then why has his YPC significantly declined for the past 2 seasons?

Because no one in the league is concerned about Tannehill or anyone else taking snaps at QB for them.... especially when they have no WR's Edited March 16, 2023 by Warriorspikes51 1 Quote
TheBeaneBandit Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Style wise it seems like Henry would be an awkward fit.....but man if they made some tweaks and fit him in the results could be glorious, even if it's just for a couple/few seasons. Quote
Warriorspikes51 Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) If we pulled this off, every coaching staff in the AFC would be concerned. Ditto in regards to Hopkins Edited March 16, 2023 by Warriorspikes51 1 1 Quote

Cuboirs Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 I'd throw in everything to grab Henry and Dhop...You have to go all in while you are this close to a superbowl....Take advantage of 17's prime..... Quote
