Mark this post. Henry will prove to be injury prone next year. Something ain't right about his running style.


You're so dumb. Why even put "mark this post" knowing good and damn well nobody will remember your post 20 minutes from now.

All a defender needs to do is tackle low. Go for the knees. After a couple hard shots to the knee Henry will be tip-toeing through the holes

Irons Puppet's post does explain somewhat why Drake has a lot of success skidding out of the hole when nothing is there.

Two very different running styles. LF is shifty as hell. Diving for his legs might cost you 7

LF IS shifty. It's scary. He's gonna be way harder to tackle than Henry because of it. Don't see the problem in admitting that. LF is a class act and a great talent. Appreciate that no matter who he plays for.

We aren' LSU fans. By this logic though, you haven't seen all his games with your own eyes either. so what are you getting at?

Then why did Henry have more yards and TD's against arguably better high school competition?

You can't make statements without showing facts to back it up or otherwise it is just a dumb statement. Competition level was pretty damn good for LF

No one here has said he is not a class act. I am not going to admit anything regarding LF until he plays D1 level football which Henry has. And I would say the same thing if he played for Bama.

I don't know if I'd say he played better competition. Henry was always bigger and faster than everyone trying to tackle him. Watching his HS tape, I had MAJOR concerns about his vision and moves, because he didn't show any. It looks like the vision is good and he isn't completely barren of moves, but LF is a completely different monster.

LF has perfect size: 6'1" 225lbs

Henry is too tall and weighs too much: 6'3" 241lbs

Henry is gonna end up destroying his knees because everyone will target them to bring him down and he has a lot of weight on them.

LF may very well be a sub 4.4 guy.

I have it on good word that Henry is a 4.53 guy.

Obviously the smaller guy is faster, and Henry being a 4.53 guy is good for his size.


My point is, LF is more talented than Henry. Henry isn't the most talented back to ever come out of HS just because he had the best stats.

Do you really want to have this argument?? Also, Florida is much more highly regarded in terms of high school football than LA. And even if you disagreed with that statement, you can't disagree with those stats.
