Denver no longer needs Henry. With Pittman here for short yardage and still the speed back of Young, all they need is good sized back to carry the ball 20-25 times per game. I think they have one with Ryan Torain. Hes been compared to the size and style of a Mike Anderson type player. I won’t be surprised if Torain is the next 1000 yard Bronco running back.

I can’t say I was shocked when this news broke but I am a bit disappointed. Like with Javon Walker – I don’t think we ever saw Henry at his best and, like Javon, if he was healthy and committed then I think he’d have been a credit to the organisation BUT there’s only so much messing around that Shanny can take.

I’m wondering if the contract negotiations were simply to reduce the dead cap money that we’d have when Henry was released. I know its a pretty scummy approach to business but it makes financial sense. Renegotiate his contract, wait for his first minor screw up or injury, make a big deal about it and then cut him.

Releasing Henry has probably been part of Mike’s plan for months. You don’t get two rookies and a Free Agent when the back field is already packed unless you plan on making some room.

Some might see a hamstring as a conditioning injury. If he showed up out of shape, pulled his ham, and didn’t rehab, well, his skid mark are deserved.

I agree with u flbronc
we find good rbs all the time las tyear we got hall and young undrafted
this year we got torian and aldridge
you never know whos going to be jump up inthe depth chart like last yr with young i think we got lot of potential in the backfield they just need to have a chance
i dont thnk we are going to wi the surbowl next yr(maybe) so why not give the plying time to a younger guy i know you cant say that for everything cause[obviuos]
its not like they r stupid -lets just get rid of him, he pulled a hamstring they know wats up they have a plan
i see the rb playing out as so…
torain spliting time with pittman as no.1 bruising back
bell no.3 as a more shortyardage back

Hall as no.1 change up back with
Aldridge closing behind

Young as no.1 all around back for less obvious plays(could be a run pass bootleg)
Pittman no.2
then Aldridge

I personally like hall the best

The offensive line is going to be who they are, no matter who is in the backfield. If they cant open a hole, it’s hardly going to matter if it’s Henry or Aldridge- they arent getting far at all. Henry is not good enough to be a standout rb without a good o-line.

Sometimes with a player, there is not one big reason to release him but a laundry list of moderate concerns. He’s had repeated drug problems (yes, he won an appeal, but wouldnt it be great if he just stopped smoking weed?), has had injury issues (he missed four reg season games, and didnt he miss one or two preseason- cant remember), and now is not showing up to team activities. Those were the facts, then you can get into the grey area of ‘character issues’ with the kids and all.

He knew he had a short leash when we restructured his contract- we basically told him he was expendable then. He should have buckled down and gotten to work to prove that he was worth his original contract. He got injured instead, so we’re back to the big knock on him right now.

Everybodys got thier opinion, and has made vaild points. But I think the team said enough is enough. And I agree with them.
