Default Officially off the Travis Henry Bandwagon

Ok, so the thread title might be a bit misleading - as I was never on it.

However, watching the Baby Factory get FLATTENED by a Hart put me off, for good. For the record, Hart is an FS... not a LB, not a DT, but a freakin FS. Worse, Henry had a the lower position on Hart. My experience is usually the dude with the lower body position wins. Except in this case... Hart just knocked him on his keister. I think Henry had 2 or 3 sets of cleats on his legs and chest as Hart (again, in case you missed, a Free f-in Safety) ran thru him on his way to a sack.

Gimme some Young, gimme some Hall, gimme Mike Bell, gimme some next years 6th round pick... but as far as I'm concerned that dude can take his large contract, his large brood, and go impregnate 3 other women in some other city.

In case I minced my words, you su-uck.

I was off his bandwagon a while ago. He just isn't playing very well, not sure why. I don't see how they see themselves as a better team with him on the field

I've cut the guy a break this year seeing as how he has been banged up from the start and had to fight the NFL to keep playing.

Lets see how he does next year with all this behind him.

He was leading the league after 3 games with almost 500 yards... then came his injury.... he's not that bad.... either Selvin pans out i think its worth to keep him, because with both healthy the backfield would be very dangerous next year...

Henry had a rough year. The worst blocking in last 10 years. He got injured. He almost got suspended. IMO you let Henry/Graham/Holland show you what they can do after a year in the system.

I will tell you that I actually prefer Mike Bell in this offense over Henry. Bell actually hit the right hole and moved the ball, while Henry spends to much time attempting to bounce the ball outside. I think that the right combo should have been Bell and Young. But Turner is smarter then us, right?

Get that ****head out of here. I cant even stand the thought of seeing him in a Bronco uniform next year. Holy hell! He burned us this year, it would be a mistake to not try to get rid of him somehow. Seriously, I cant stand that dude. The guy gets injured every game, he fails a drug test and its outcome gets drawn out over the entire season...yet he is still around. The dudes a cockroach.

Come on now, seriously. Travis took several serious injuries during the year and continued trying to play through them and he proved his innocence with the drug test.

I'm not happy about the kids, but he was an absolute warrior playing through injuries this year.

I'm not impressed with him but, I think he should give him 1 more year.

We have so many other glaring holes I think we might have to live with him for another year.

In the beginning of the Henry was playing great but he just wasn't scoring and then everything went down for him with injuries and his legal battle. Give him another year with a healthy OL and add in Walker as well to take the pressure off the run and I think Henry will do better.

Henry got worse as the season went on. Sounds familiar, right? The whole team went south as the season went on. No blocking at all, combined with his legal issues (his own fault of course) and injuries made for a perfect storm. I will be happy to see henry in a Broncos uniform in 2008 (although I cant stomach him on a personal level).
