Henry to miss at least 2 weeks?

[Novacane]

Thats what some of the players were telling the WGR55 reporter. Looks like it's bombs away Bledsoe for the next couple weeks.

I think that Burns can at least mimic what Henry did in the 1st 2 games. If he can do that it will take a small amount of pressure off Bledsoe and the passing game.

I hate admitting this, little by little I'm leaning more towards McGahee and hoping that he has the "stuff". Still, I can't give up on Henry just yet. I think the man has the talent to be a decent back in this league. I guess, ironically enough, he is starting to resemble a RB that we all be seeing this weekend, Duce Staley. The guy can work a DL some of the time, and has the capabilty of making over a 1,000 yards, but falters more often than not. Now the injury - although hurt only this once, this resemblance is begining seem uncanny.

I can remember Bryson and Morris filling in fine over the last few years. I think Burns can do the same.

I too am liking the McGahee pick more and more.

I still don't know about McGahee. He may be good but a recurring injury to that knee could happen leaving us with.... Burns and Morris? Hmmmm..... On second thoughts. Trade Henry for a 1st rd and then draft Gore

I agree 100%

I have a feeling I will be eating crow come week 8-9. I was very opposed to the draft pick, but maybe Henry is only the type of back that can produce when given a good blocking line, whereas Willis might be able to produce a la Barry Sanders, improvise and get his yards on his own.

And about Henry. Again this is not knee-jerk. I have been saying this for some time and asking these questions for some time.

Have you ever seen Henry make a good cutback run? Cut against the grain?
Ever seen him juke anyone out?

I think those are skills of top tier backs.

All of Henry's big gains seem to come on sweeps. And mostly to the right side!

Great point!

I've never really given that much thought. Also, I've never seen Henry out run a D on the field. He's usually brought down from behind, or driven out of bounds on break-aways.

I really dont want gore. He really hasn't shown me much and I definitly think we got the better miami RB. McGahee can do alot i.e.: cut back, juke, and if he has to he can rught over someone. I think it was a good pick in the draft, but like most of you I was completely shocked when he was picked.

Draft Greg Jones!

McGahee, Gore, Burns, morris. Sounds good to me.

I'm just playing though. I hope Henry gets better. For bills' sake.

Do you guys think we'll be able to get a first round pick for Henry if he has a sub-par season? Do you think a team will be willing to forget about this year and look at last year?

[L.A. Playa]

if we are gonna draft another back it needs to be a power back i forget hid=s name but ther is this kid that plays for oregon state that would fit that bill perfectly

TD wont trade henry unless he gets a damn good pick for him.. why would he.. henry makes 365K a year.. this and next year.. then in the final year, he makes 1.5 million.. that is pennies for a damn good back up running back.. he will keep him if he sucks this season.
