So in a thread where Henderson was given his last rites prematurely people are already doing the same for Akers?

You guys.....

Maybe redraft forums are for you.

I gave up early and traded him for a future 2nd in the offseason. Mainly because he was called “fool’s gold” by our RB guru, I loss all confidence in Henderson.

Love coaches who get behind a guy who is playing really well for them and promote them enthusiastically.

DARRELL HENDERSON
RB, LOS ANGELES RAMS

Rams coach Sean McVay believes Darrell Henderson will start in Week 4 against the Giants.

"I think so," McVay responded when asked if Henderson would get the nod among the team's trio of runners. "I think the more that he plays and the more he’s available, the better he’s going to get." Henderson, Pro Football Focus' No. 1 graded running back through three games, has been nothing short of sterling since returning from a hamstring injury, totaling 32/195/2 and 6.0 yards per carry the past two weeks. Benny Snell, David Montgomery, and Jerick McKinnon have all had success against the Giants' lacking front-seven this year and Henderson's results should be no different as long as Cam Akers (ribs) remains sidelined. Henderson will be a strong RB2 in Week 4.

My concern with Akers was always his vision and his tendency to try to create on his own rather than take what the blockers game him. He ran into his own blockers a lot in college and would frequently cut back across the field because he didn’t like what was available within the confines of the play. I partially wrote that off because of how bad the blocking was, but there is definitely some risk there.

My original take on DH:

Darrell Henderson - then watching the tape I noticed a few things; He doesn't make people miss right next to him, only in open space. He always carries the ball in 1 hand, never switching it around and keeping it away from defenders.... I think his performance isn't being dissected enough. His stats came on big runs, but when the blocking wasn't there he wasn't able to make people miss and get the necessary 3-4 yards on crucial downs. Once again, I think we have a power runner who NEED to go to a power system or else he won't be able to produce.

So much the bold part. The only way I said DH could ever be successful is if he was in a power system. He's not dynamic. If you watch any of week 2 or week 3 highlights, DH already knew where he was running before the snap even happened. There's no cutting, no reading, no finding the hole, etc. Just get the ball and go. That's his only strength. The Rams are doing just that. Bravo to the coaching staff.

I'm happy he's being used properly but I'm not buying him. He's a system RB, and system RBs are easily replaceable.

Could not disagree more. I watched the runs from this year’s game and then went back and watched college tape again after reading what you posted here. I’m seeing classic one cut & go running. He exhibits patience moving laterally, and as soon as a seam opens he sees it and hits it very quickly, sometimes cutting against flow if the reverse seam opens. It is absolutely waiting, reading, seeing the seam, and then cutting quickly into it and then to downhill. It’s what I saw 2 years ago and what he’s done this year is completely consistent with that.

Interesting that we’re seeing such different runners in watching the same guy.

On 40% of the Rams run plays in 2019, they ran outside zones. In 2018, they led the NFL in outside zones ran. Darrell Henderson averaged over 10 YPC in college running outside zones. Is that a new fancy name for a power blocking scheme?

I'm happy he's being used properly as well. With 18-20 touches a game.

how do I re-tweet the last 2 posts?

lol @ "stats came on big runs" when a guy averaged 9ypc and they were all big runs

Well I should have watched more than just the Bills game. The Bills game is filled with power. The Eagles game is basically all zone. I watched the Bills highlights and just assumed the Eagles game was more of the same. Are you watching the Eagles highlights and not the Bills by chance? Every single one of these runs are power: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7Luapf ... illyPhilly

And then every single run with the Eagles was zone. So I was wrong. He did run some great zone plays vs the Eagles. I still give most of the credit to the offensive line and coaching staff... but I gotta admit, Henderson knew cutback lanes would be there and he was ready. He looked fast and powerful. I didn't see him avoid tacklers at the line or create space, but there definitely was improvements.

I guess there's hope afterall.
