dave mcbride Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/crdindex.htm they have never had a rusher run for 1100 yards since they went to Phoenix in the late 1980s! and only three times have guys have rushed for 1000 yards: adrian murrell in 1998 (1042 yards; 3.8 ypc), garrison hearst in 1995 (1070 yards; 3.8 ypc), and ronald moore in 1993 (1018 yards; 3.9 ypc). in not one of these instances did the back average 4 yards!! that's an incredible, incredible record of futility. one could easily argue that henry is the best runner the franchise could have since o.j. anderson in his early years. coincidentally, he's the last guy who rushed for 1100+ yards, and that occurred in 1984. if i'm arizona, i'd end this grim record and get a proven (albeit not superstar) back, even if it means swapping third or even second round picks with the bills.

BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I think the greatest incentive to trade for Henry is that it will free up their first round selection to improve their dismal Defense (most notably, their CBs). If they dont do the trade, they'll be forced to take a RB and neglect their Defense yet again. Or they could get Henry without losing an offensive starter, draft a player like Antrel Rolle or another stud CB and get better all around. Just makes sense to me...but these are the Cards we are talking about here...lets hope they finally see the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyDingo Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Lets see, I would trade a Clark Bar for an O Henry if they threw in a 4th round pack of peanut m&m's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
