Not a bust at all, first off he's trusted to take care of the ball which is actually more than any of our other running backs have been able to prove. He's a good blocker and like all running backs he's much better when there is a hole. I just think people made too much out of his bowl game last year. Out of high school they didn't even know which position he would play.
He does need to improve his power at the point of attack and his balance, which won't be unusual for 19 year olds playing in the SEC.
I also think we could use him more as a receiver because once he's in space he's deadly

We rarely ever throw dump pass or flats to our RBs. If we throw them the ball it is just screens and Yeldon gets to bulk of those.
I agree with your points. I would also love to see Henry get a swing pass out the backfield.
See the panic in the secondaries eyes.
