I think he did.

Sure he had some good runs inside, but for the most part he does not play like a 240lb back between the tackles
He did the last three games, IMO. Also, people act like his size is a reason why he shouldn't get tackled in between the tackles, when in fact, his size makes it much easier for him to get tripped up or whatever. His size is an obstacle for him.

I disagree.
I believe his size helps him generate more force which SHOULD allow him to break through weaker ankle tackles, like Ingram was able to do. I believe his problem may stem from a lack of overall explosiveness. In order to run well between the tackles you need to either have great vision or great burst. He lacks both, so his inside runs are low percentage plays for us.
He's like a semi, meaning he is very large and needs a couple seconds to build up a head of steam. Once he does that, he usually drags tacklers a couple more yards after contact.
But, since we like to hit the interior of the DL a lot with our running game, I think Henry is a poor choice to fill that role. That's why I like Tyren, because he is more of an APB in my opinion.
