Or we could just wait 3-5 (I think that's his sentence, not sure though) and hopefully he'll be in NFL shape when he gets back out.

Cool, then lets get Vinny on the phone with Maurice Clarett's agent as well put them in the Wildcat.

Henry's success has come from his great NFL combine in 2007. Since then he's shown to be a pretty freakish athlete but not the best running back out there.

IF we were to sign him as our primary kick returner you don't think that would sit too well with the Rock?

Maybe he was once a punter. Not sure how you could actually take any more playing time away from Betts.

About as lively as Patrick Henry.

Hopefully as strong as John Henry

Why the hell did we re-sign alridge?

betts has not done himself any favors recently with his boneheaded end of the game plays...add that to ineffective running when he's gotten the chances and it equals replacement (talk).

Of course the speed thing wasn't the worse thing for Jeff Fisher to consider which is why he drafted Chris Johnson the following year.

I wonder whose idea this was?

WaldSkins · 10-05-2009, 06:16 PM

Are we talking about the crack addict?

It was your idea to bring Chris Henry in? lol

Just kidding.

But who was a crack head? Are you talking about Travis Henry?

He wasn't a crack head but he sold one of the ingredients to make it..lol

We currently have 5 RBs on the roster list.. And yet we continue to burden Portis with carries, regardless of his injuries.. Play Betts couple of times.. Barely play Mason.. Never play Alridge.. And then we bring in Henry? Granted, it's just a visit.. But still, it tells that our coaches are still searching for a running back?

This is one of the most confusing move FO ever did.. I won't be able to fathom this..

I'll give a surprising defense and say this doesn't sounds like a Vinny or Dan move but a coaching move. Sounds to me like three things. One, Portis ankle spur issues will be an issue all season. Two, the Redskins confidence in in Betts and Mason appears to be waning. Three, the suggestion likely came from Sherman Smith and Zorn went with it.
