Henderson "a hitting machine" ?

[SkinneymulleT]

Lost of talk about him at SSLB. The tag line is he was good in college before injuries, putting up better numbers then super mario in the same conference. I am curious to see how he does. He could be the link and provide real versatility at the position bringing the wood on running downs. Image 3rd and 1 and blam big hendu and brooks (525lbs combined) converge and hit the running back sending him into a paralell dimension. What do you think? or is he just ps material being hyped? I think he will make a decent contribution this year.

The real question is will he contribute on ST. We've got too many other LB's that have more experience than him, so if he can't contribute on ST than he might not make the active roster.

I voted solid contributor because I think he'll be a good back-up for us.

The real question is "how lazy is Eric Henderson?"

Hmm, good question. I suggest we ask the Bengals' team bus driver to determine the answer.

I want Henderson to get some chances at DE in know passing situations. Team him up with Geathers and the Bengals will be getting to the qb. Especially Big Jen when he has to pass against the Bengals secondary.

At SSLB those with experience are....Jeanty and ?

More than PS material, but less than a solid contributor (which was my vote).

I was too lazy to vote, but that sounds about right. I expect Henderson to step into the pass rushing Joker role that David Pollack vacated, but due to coverge concerns play fewer snaps than Pollack WOULD have.

I didn't feel it was a need to start a new topic for this but it sounds like Brooks is getting a handle on the D. Per hobson, he's getting everyone in position unlike what Thurman was able to do his first year at mike. I'm sure he's still got to learn what offenses are going to throw at him but I'm extremely excited to see this kid shine.
