Inasmuch as Henry's rushing ability, he once again proved that he's unreliable and extremely inconsistent.
He missed two holes right in front of him for no gain when he could have had at least 5 yards on both.
While some of you will blow the same old weak-sounding "Henry-horn" w/ the notion that he averaged almost 4 ypc, the fact is that w/o that 29 yard run, he had 14 carries for 29 yards and a 2.0 ypc avg.
That is not good no matter how you slice it for yet another sub-par performance. I don't think the coaches have any confidence that he can do the job.
Taking away his longest 3 runs of 29, 11, and 8 yards, he's left w/ runs of:
2, -3, 1, -2, 2, 3, 0, 2, -2, 3, 2, 2
That simply BLOWS!
Bottom line: How much longer are we gonna wait to try something new. This season is already in the tank as far as making the playoffs goes. Perhaps there are a few delusionaries out there who are still holding out hope. We may finish at 9-7 or 8-8. I'm saying 6-10 or 7-9 at this point. No better, possibly even 5-11 if we underrate other teams.
So how about trying out some other things at RB. The coaches clearly don't believe Henry is the man or they'd have given him at least 12 carries in the first half. Instead, he's proven that he either gets a big-play run or just can't run the ball at all 80% of the time.
Well, we don't need big plays from Henry and the running game. What we need is an RB who can get 4 or 5 yards a carry consistently to help take the load off of Drew who can put up all the big plays we need in a game!
