Travis Henry trade

[Sportsuser101]

We get the 3rd pick in the 3rd round. Nice job TD.

[Devin]

saweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

[ArcticWildMan]

We gave up a pro bowl RB for a pretty boy. Yeah, great trade.

MaGahee is over rated.

[ublinkwescore]

McGahee will get his share of Probowls if we get a damn line in front of him.

Provided of course that Drew Kissmy@$$ doesn't convince him to hold out - which BTW would be really stupid right now.

[ArcticWildMan]

MaGahee will be gone as soon as his contract comes up. He is not a small market player and will use our mediocre team as an excuse for why he hasn't been the next Shawn Alexander.

[Devin]

Whether he is or isnt, id take him over Henry.

[Philagape]

Considering the year Henry had in Tennessee, an early 3rd-rounder is a bargain

[Mahdi]

If McGahee breaks out next year behind our re-vamped O-line he would have no reason to leave. And if he does we tag him.

Hasn't KC and Denver and Green Bay proven that you don't need so called super stars to have good RB's?

They all have "nobody" RB's that are/were playing at Pro-bowl level.

Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson are nobodies?

[ArcticWildMan]

How many "nobodies" has Denver produced? What about the Rb from GB that came in after Green was hurt? Larry Johnson wasn't exactly tearing up the preseason predictions.

Larry Johnson was always good. He just played behind Priest. LJ is real deal not system rb. I'll give you the denver one

[ArcticWildMan]

The point still remains that you don't need a so called super star to have a good running game. Look at the Bengals as another example. Everybody said that nobody could match what Corey Dillon did there.

[djjimkelly]

artic u keep pointing out teams with great to very good o lines. with solid rbs that = great running game. with bills we have great RB with crap o line = avg running game. good help if mcgahee ever gets an avg o line

Henry would have put up way worse #s is he woulda ran behind that mess up front.

And at least mcgahee doesnt get high and get susspended for 4 games.

Yeah, I guess I'm just conditioned by the crap lines we've had for the past 7 years. :ill:

[chernobylwraiths]

He always sounds like he is high, plus he thinks he is the best RB in the NFL. He must be doing SOME kind of drugs.

[Bobafonte]

Id take WR Maurice Stovall with that pick.

[chernobylwraiths]

I think we were luck Tennessee was so crappy this year. I liked Henry and would trade McGahee in an instant if we could get a high first for him.

I agree with AWM completely though that given a good line, Shaud could gain 1000 behind it. Another team to look at is Pittsburgh.

Now if we could only get a good line. :sigh:

[Michael82]

Id take WR Maurice Stovall with that pick.
So would I. So would helmetguy. He's one of the biggest supporters of him. :D

[Michael82]

One thing you are forgetting....and many other people are...

Willis McGahee still ran for almost 1250 yards behind this **** line. That's pretty impressive, especially when the team never really committed to running the ball. :ill:

[Philagape]

Regardless of lines, some RBs are better than others. McGahee and Henry proved that last year on the same team. The picks we spent on Willis and got for Henry are less than two rounds apart, and that's about the difference between the two.

That said, I was disappointed in Willis this year. But Henry went completely :flush:
