Heck, it may be in Hawaii. We just don’t know for sure yet.


But I was thinking, it also doesn't really matter. They don't need him to get it soon. It would be nice if he got it soon, but it's not vital. Especially with Brown ahead of him anyway. Henderson will contribute a lot this year either way.

This article is worth viewing.

What am I missing here? That link goes to the same analysis by the same fantasy geek...er... analyst that has already been pointed out to be inconsistent with what Henderson and his former college coach have said about his compatibility in the Rams' offense.

That makes it worse.... So what happened to "You know, trust but verify."
We will verify with actual football

Where is the post that quotes Henderson and his college coach?

Don't know about a post, but here's the article in question.

From an OC Register article: https://www.ocregister.com/2019/05/11/r ... pace-role/

But like the Rams, the Memphis offense subsisted on a heavy dose of outside zone runs, which asked backs to run off tackle while patiently reading the defense before cutting upfield.

The Rams ran more outside zone than any other team in the NFL last season. That scheme can be a difficult adjustment for some backs, but for the 5-foot-8 Henderson, it shouldn’t be an adjustment at all. Over the past two seasons, according to Pro Football Focus, he led all of college football with a staggering 10.7 yards per carry on such runs. Highlight reels offer endless examples of how Henderson’s extraordinary vision could translate to an NFL zone blocking scheme.

Although, if you listened to McVay's presser today he did talk a little about Henderson getting up to speed and how that might impact his usage when the season rolls around...

Yeah, I’m confused.

With the way Gurley's recovery is going...and the general shelf life of RBs...we should find out pretty soon.

Well, sure... he's a rookie and he's played only one preseason game. I'm sure there's a learning curve. That's different, though, than suggesting that he's not a good fit for the system.
