It'd be a nightmare on defenses though. Just in coverage. And we have way more depth and talent at RB. It'd be perfect.

I don't think Henry has the hands to play TE.

He looked great in camps lining up out wide some

Well, ScarBo is almost just as big and he looks really smooth as a receiver. I don't think we should take our most experienced RB and move him to a new position.

I love that idea. In all reality, in the modern nfl, Henry's ideal position would be TE. We've all seen Henry run up the middle, and it's by far the weakest part of his game. The only reason I think it wouldn't work out, it's the fact that Bobby Williams is our TE coach. So we're basically SOL.

I think he can improve his running between the tackles. He'll be the lead back going through spring so he'll get a ton of reps. They are gonna have to do something bc teams will be aware of his tendencies.

He really needs to focus on lower body strength this off-season. It's frustrating to watch him go down so easily, when the guy is so huge and athletic. He has nfl level abilities, but he just needs to round out his skills.

I hate to be that guy but I don't think it's fixable. His body just doesn't seem like its fit for a between the tackles running back.

Well he rushed for almost 1000 yards and 11 tds so it's not like he's terrible as is.

While true, he was still pretty inconsistent. Maybe he'll put it all together this year, but seeing him go down so easily has been one of the most aggravating things to happen during the Saban era for me. He needs to hit the squats and keep those legs moving.

He was inconsistent at times but he had a very inconsistent load. He's like a big diesel truck, it takes a little bit to get him going. He gets better as the game goes on.

We got a CB from the USCe mod for Antwuan Jackson. Interesting because they USCe is considered to be in the lead for him on his CB.

LOOKING TO 2016: MUST GETS FOR ‘BAMA
John Garcia Jr.
Recruiting Analyst
Alabama has several commitments in the class of 2016, but plenty of work remains for Nick Saban and company. BamaMag looks at priorities on both sides of the football at this early juncture.
The next few tidbits coming from this piece. LINK

Lyndell Wilson is the state of Alabama’s top 2016 prospect at this point, and UA has snagged the elite with that title over the last four recruiting cycles. To nobody’s surprise, however, Auburn will again have to be the program edged out in the end. Wilson, who is an athletic outside linebacker that can also rush the passer, is in no rush to make a final decision and he’s working with a current top seven of the Iron Bowl rivals, Tennessee, Georgia, Oregon, USC and Louisville.

Ben Davis (pictured above, right) is the son of Alabama’s all-time tackles leader Wayne Davis (pictured above, left), and father has not been shy about steering his son to Tuscaloosa. However, son has taken the process in stride and just recently collected his Auburn offer among many others. No matter how long he extends the process before making a decision, the versatile linebacker is most popularly pegged to Nick Saban’s program. BamaMag.com could see his recruitment playing out similar to class of 2014 UA legacy Marlon Humphrey’s.
I hope he doesn't wait that long.

Willie Allen has long been one of the top out-of-state targets in the class of 2016 for Alabama, and he named the Crimson Tide as his leader for about six months before recently backing off of that statement. Still, Alabama has zeroed in on the Louisianan, as has Ole Miss and homestate LSU. He was in Oxford for junior day late last month, and he’ll be in Tuscaloosa for A-Day. Mario Cristobal and the UA staff missed out on a late left tackle add in 2015, so expect prospects like Allen to receive the full treatment early and often.

Cavin Ridley is the younger brother of five-star Alabama signee Calvin Ridley, and Alabama has already offered the star. His 7-on-7 coach says the younger Ridley is the bigger and stronger version of the two, which is simply scary to think about given the accolades big bro picked up throughout his prep career. While the in-state Florida schools and many others are on his trail, Alabama has been the school he’s frequented as many as most, and that’s not expected to be slown down. Wide receiver is still a need and the Crimson Tide has a bevy of South Florida options to focus on at the position in addition to Ridley, like Darnell Salomon, Binjimen Victor and Derrick Snelson. Four-star Louisianan Mykel Jones is one to watch as well, being the teammate and close friend of 2015 Alabama signee Daylon Charlot.
