To Chambers84 we will not carry 3 FB we will only 2. The new FB is only for depth in camp an in case we have an ijury during season.

I know what you were saying. Should we trade one of them if they both have great camps.
Henry is a little more than 200 lbs and runs high...a bad thing for a full time RB.He could NEVER take a full season's pounding.

Oh and Eric Dickerson was 225 lbs and all world talent.
Henry was a 7th rd picka nd not many people are going to mistake a 198 lb player at combine for Eric Dickerson or an all-world starting RB.
He will make a nice change of pace guy and backup type who may develop into a good backup RB for this team in time.
Forget about him on the P-squad he'd be claimed. We should at least trade him if he's not gonna make the team.

Running high makes you a bigger target that is easier to bring down because you have a worst center of gravity. Just cuz you run high it doesn't mean your vision improves either. TD is probably the exception because his vision is good but it would probably be good even if he didn't run high.
JJ Johnson was criticized for running too high in the NFL and he got hit too easily cuz he was a big target, he didn't have great leverage to resist the takedown, AND he had some of the most p!ss poor vision I've ever seen on a RB.
