He was just looking to see if the right guard had any blank checks in his back pocket.

McPherson is a poor man's Art Schlicter.

(Sorry, but it was just hanging over the plate.)

LMAO...

Kinda looks like the right tackle is trying to explain to him whats going on.

Funny as hell, but I still think this guy is going to make it in this league. I would have rather seen the Broncos take heat for drafting him at the end of the 3rd than Clarett.

I was hoping that the Broncos would draft Chris Henry in the 3rd round despite his character concerns. I figured that was what scared them away from him.......until they announced the Clarett pick.

ludo21 · 08-14-2005, 09:25 PM

I think Mcpherson will be a stud in the league. He has all the tools and seems like a new person.

that was funny tho. I agree, the tackles like, wtf?? im never frisked in the butt before a play usually( i kina like it

)

I was hoping the Broncos would take him as well. Does anyone one remember what round he went in?

I agree. He has loads of talent. I've heard that he has been very good in camp as well. He signed his contract pretty fast if I remember right as well.

DB-Freak · 08-14-2005, 10:34 PM

The difference is MoC has been trying to change and has made great efforts to change while Chris Henry is still an ass.

You have proof that he is still an ass then or what?

The guy is a monster. I just wanted to say that. Can be anything he wants as a WR

And on his behavorial problem there's alot to be covered, but here's a profile.

Chris Henry doesn't have a great deal of experience, but he has proven to be a big-play receiver over the past two years at West Virginia. He burst onto the scene in 2003 averaging just under 25 yards per reception and 10 touchdowns on the year. He is a tall receiver who could stand to put on a few pounds and get stronger. He has the speed to beat most defensive backs deep and has great hands when he has his head in the game. He adjusts well when the
ball is in the air and has an outstanding leaping ability. He needs to work on doing the little things better. He is only an average blocker and needs to improve his route running. He likes to make the big play but doesn't like to catch a short pass over the middle for a first down. His biggest problem is with his attitude. He was suspended twice as a senior. The first time was for flashing obscene gestures to fans after being ejected from the Rutgers game for multiple unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. He was also suspended from the game on Thanksgiving for violating multiple team rules. Chris Henry is still developing as a receiver and will only get better. He has the potential to be the best wide receiver of this class if he works hard at it. He has all the talent in the world but a lack of maturity could hurt him on draft day. He has first round talent and fourth round character.

And the guy also said he was glad that his team lost because they suspended him or something to that extent.

And we havent really heard anything that says he improved his attitude.

ANALYSIS

Positives: Has an outstanding frame for a wide receiver with tight muscles, good upper- and lower-body development, long arms, split high and good thigh and calf thickness … Has the quickness and thrust in his get-off to immediately get into his routes and defeat the jam … Uses his change-of-direction agility and swim moves to get a smooth release off the line … Smooth straight-line runner who can adjust to uncover … Catches with hands extended from the frame and will not hesitate to go over the middle and compete for the ball in a crowd … Will lay out to get to the deep ball and has the lower-body power to run through defensive backs that fail to wrap him up … Uses his size and leaping ability to win most battles for the jump ball … Shows good body control to make adjustment to the ball in flight and does a nice job of catching over his shoulders … Sets up his double moves nicely against zone coverage … Shows good field vision and awareness … Is alert to sticks and maintains balance to keep his feet in bounds when working along the sidelines.

Negatives: His maturity level is sorely lacking … Has had problems with the coaching staff ever since he arrived at WVU, struggles with his academics and has had more than a fair share of on-field antics … Despite his size and strength, he gives just a marginal effort as a blocker … Unpolished route runner, especially in the intermediate area, as he rounds his cuts … Can catch the ball in his hands, but will drop the easy ones when he tries to cradle the ball … Fails to find the soft spot in zone coverage, but does display good double moves to elude.

DBroncos4life · 08-14-2005, 11:07 PM

thats all good but there is nothing to say that he isn't changed or atleast staying out of trouble. Sure the odds are good that he will but still just like MoC you have to give him a chance to start clean.
