A while ago I argued (back when there was a debate) that Henry was by far the more superior RB than S.Bryson or S.Morris. My reason for this was Bryson is unable to run between the tackles, and goes down faster than Whitney Houston getting hit by Bobby. Bryson is an electrifying pitch out runner, but has poor between the tackles instincts and runs "small". While Morris can run hard, he has fumbled often and doesn’t have the running ability of either Bryson or Henry. I'm a fan of smash mouth football, but with that goes the desire for ball control... other than Bryson (of course he is no good for smash mouth or for that matter ‘every’ down running) none of the Bills RBs have a good record for protecting the ball... here are the number of touches (runs and catches) each back has had, and the number of balls that have hit the ground.
Bryson 296 / 2 = 0.675%
Henry 315 / 9 = 2.857%
Morris 157 / 3 = 1.910%
Unfortunately we do not have much choice... the best available back is J.Anderson with his poor knees he is a risk and he fumbles at a rate of 1.347%...
To put this all in perspective J.Bettis fumbles at a 1.221% rate, while sure handed E.Smith's rate is 1.201%.
What are we to do?
