First off, i would like to say that i like henry, i like henry just fine. But some of you are talking like this kid is Simpson reborn, when it just isnt true. You automaticlly think 1438 yards, he must be great. that number is a little misleading. these are my top 5 reasons that henry wont go for 1000 yards this year, let alone 1800(as predictied by many zoners)
1. most of you could tell me that henry finished #5 in rushing in the nfl last year, but could you tell me where the bills finished in rushing??? 24th. there were 23 other teams that moved the ball for more yards than us on the ground last year. these include Cincinnati, Dallas and Arizona.90% of our running plays went through henry last year(this stat includes QB scrambling and wr reverses)...this is in large part because of Brysons injury. if you think henry is gonna see 70% this year with the depth at RB we have, than your crazy. if Mcgahee comes back as eary as they are predicting, look for it to be around 55-60% or less for the season.
2. Drew Bledsoe is under Center. Living in NE, i have heard for about 9 straight years how bledsoe's team is gonna focus more on the run, bla bla bla...its yet to happen. KG will never ever run a ground orentated offense.
3. Lack of a true deep threat. this will keep more men in the box, keeping henrys YPC down.
4. last year, 10 of our games were against teams in the bottom half of the league in rushing defense. including NE(31st) twice, houston (28), Chicago (26). This year, we face a much stronger schedule.
5. Henry Never Ever showed up for our big games, and he is so inconsistant that its almost funny. he had 30 yards vs the vikes(2.5 ypc) and a fumble, 35 against denver(2.9 ypc) and a fumble, 46 yards against the packers(2.3 ypc) and a fumble, a whopping 80 yards against Cincy(2.7 ypc) and 2 fumbles.
That is only 5, but here is another point.
Fumbles. 11 fumbles last year, 8 lost, 13 tds. Thats a +5 TD/Fum lost ratio. 15 NFL RBs had a better ratio last year.
