Henry had a better year than LF last year. We'll have to see about next.

I would not be surprised to see LF take the lead next year, but hopefully his career does not end up like Lattimore. I like Chubb but I think LF may have a better career. Henry if Drake is 100% will be splitting carries not to mention Jones may finally do something and Bo may have a say. In short I not convinced yet Henry will be the main go to for UA next year like LF, Chubb, Hurd, and some others will be.

RBs corp is looking pretty lethal at various schools in the conference. Jovon Robinson coming into to the mix now for AU could make things interesting. God knows I hope he does well

Henry isn't even the 2nd best RB on our team.

Henry's best when he gets out in space because people bounce off of him and he gets a full head of steam.

But man, I'd rather have Aaron Johns taking the handoff on a 3rd and 1 than him.

I can see maybe rating a healthy Drake above him, but who else you got ahead of him that's currently on our roster? Tyren Jones? Based on what? Jones may end up being a great RB, but until he gets substantial playing time, especially in crunch time, don't see how he can be rated ahead of Henry right now...

Henry is great and all but he gets tripped up to easily when running through the middle. Im not sure if he needs to learn to lift his knees and turn his legs or just put on more leg strength but for a guy his size he shouldnt be tripped up so often.

Agree...especially if he gets hit low...he tends to shake tackles better when he's hit high...and he's pretty fast once he hits his stride, but it takes him a couple of steps to hit it. Would like to see Bama run more sweeps with him next season...

Henry is impossible to knock down if you hit him anywhere above the waist. If you breath on his feet, he'll fall down like he slipped on a banana peel.

It's a balance thing. He doesn't have it.

Why are Georgia fans so defensive of Chubb? It's like every chance they get at taking a shot at Fournette they do it...grow up. They are both great backs...if Fournette would've gotten the touches and actually had a passing game his stats would be just as good as Chubb. I'm not taking anything away from Chubb bc he had an outstanding season. Stop taking shots at Fournette all the time though it's kind of annoying...he accomplished more than any other LSU running back as a freshman...that was with the boxes stacked and NO threat of a passing game.

I love McElroy. He and Tebow are the best the SECN has to offer.

I'll take the guy with the 8.2 YPC over the one with 5.5.

I agree it appears to take him a while to get going at times, but that man is scary fast once he hits full speed.

Henry in space outruns DBs. Problem is he lacks the balance and vision to be an every down back IMHO. He racks up great yards as the change of pace though

Let me hear your argument. There are a few phrases I'm sure to hear.

Would not be surprised the top RB in '15 will be someone that no one is talking about.

Frankly I would be. Barring injury, Chubb and Fournette will both blow up, not that Henry's a slouch by any means.

Using Henry's 8.2 YPC, when he is a change of pace back, is not the best way to judge. Hell, Henry has over 1 yard over Chubb in YPC. But there is no place in arguing with you so this is my last statement on that

Wait a second, who even averaged 8.2? Henry was 5.8
