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.

My favorite running back between the tackles is Drake. That dude runs angry.

Ingram is MUCH shorter than Henry. Therein lies the difference.

Exactly, because of his size.
I agree with Patton about Drake. People always refer to him as a "scat back", which he is not at all. He is about as physical as they come. lol at people that say we are going to move him to WR.

The Henry kid reminds me of Kerry Goode, after he hurt his knee vs BC. Takes a couple steps to get up to speed it seems. I think Drake could be a star. No doubt you guys have a really solid stable of rb's AGAIN.
