Every time the ball is in Derrick Henry's hands instead of Mahomes or Allens is a win for the defense


Wrong. If your offense has both an elite QB and elite RB, it’s a win for the offense every play

McDorsey would put Henry in at Safety!

 

seriously. Henry would be a great add but I’ve lost all confidence in OC managing team

This. Defenses are not scared of James Cook. Henry though…..nightmare!

 

For the life of me I don’t understand why fans aren’t excited by imagining Josh and Henry in the same backfield.

 

whether Dorsey could come up with run pass options to really take advantage of defenses is another story


 

Exactly.  If it’s for a 4th or 5th round pick who cares - we’re better immediately on O.

 

Those struggles inside the 10?  Allen and Henry to deal with.

Well because Josh doesn’t run anymore?

Im not proposing anything here...just sharing info.  

 

Interesting day over here...A buddy called me earlier today who has also been a source of some info in the past (for example he was the one who leaked the Rams vs Bills season opener last year to me a month early) and he just he heard some chatter potentially linking Bills and Henry today.  

 

I just got home right now from being out and about for a little bit running errands and I got a text from a bookmaker buddy of mine about how Derrick Henry is now the betting favorites in Vegas to land Henry at 2/1 odds.  My immediate comment to him was to ask him if that is just because Beane freed up some cap space.  He said it's possible, but more likely Vegas at least heard or caught wind of something suggesting at least interest rather than just make that move over a small cap move.  

 

So take it with a grain of salt...but just found it interesting that in the same day Beane freed up cap space Vegas made the Bills the betting favorites to land him.  Did a quick google search to pull up the odds and found this link right away.  

 

https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-bills-trade-rumors-odds-derrick-henry-tennessee-titans#:~:text=Buffalo is granted a 33.3,(%2B300%2C 25 percent).

 

 

That would suck. Now we can run him from the gun with the HB draw. Derrick is someone who needs a full head of steam. Our offense doesn’t really match well with his talents

Not true. I just posted a video above of his highlights torching the Bengals in week 4 and almost every run was from shotgun.

Henry is a good player.  Is he a player we need that will turn this offense around?  No.  But, if for some reason we were to bring him in, he would have a spot and could help us.  We do see our share of lighter boxes because teams worry about defending the pass.  While Cook is a good back, he is not going to punish guys up the middle.  Not to mention, his pass protection has been atrocious.  Henry, just by being on the field as an option, discourages teams from taking that extra defender out of the box which could open some things up in the intermediate areas.  I just wish Henry was a better pass catcher, though.  But the cap hit would be minimal and we can never have enough good players.  Maybe try to get Henry and D-Hop in a package deal.
