Patriots need to get more out of Henderson

[Grogan14]

So far, not living up to expectations as a runner or receiver.
Perhaps due to inefficient run blocking.
To take the next step and help Maye, McDaniels needs to figure out how to unleash him.

I'm glad you got your account back.
Someone's been hacking you for a couple of weeks.

Chalk it up to him being a Rookie: not gonna lie I was expecting a little more. We need a capable vet like Henry to fill the void. That said plenty of season left he could still come on. It's not how you start it's how you finish. That said I really liked RB Cam Skattebo Pre Draft.

Perhaps?

He had his welcome to the NFL moment getting blown up on a block, so we haven't seen him much since. The Pats need to find a way to run the ball better.

White took a little time to develop. I think people were ready to give up on him when he broke out.

Saw what you did there. Well played but we both know...

Some of the Great ones create their own holes.

He didn't play because they didn't need him. Vereen was the guy in 2014 and then he pushed out again in 2015 when Dion Lewis came out of nowhere. After Lewis' injury was when White got his chance.

Henderson is in a different situation. There's nobody standing in his way.

 

[Toofy]

Both Henderson and Williams are looking underwhelming so far. I believe we have too much unrealistic expectations too. But this has been the year where many rookies are killing it and 2 of your top 3 draft picks are pretty much non-existent.

I hope they have their break in game soon. We need all the help we can .

 

[NovaScotiaPatsFan]

Our run blocking resembles a third rate donkey show...

Yeah, I guess. Williams and Chism also were hoped to be a larger part of the offense too, based on pre/season.

But the offense looks very good and is scoring well. And gets better every week. So I struggle to find a reason not to just be patient

Hendo has short arms.

White looked totally lost his first 2 or 3 years in the league; regardless of what RB was in front of him. Thankfully he figured it out.

You’re right about Henderson having a clearer path but he’s still reminding me of White early on. The Pats obviously are being patient because they know that the run blocking has been awful for the most part…almost zero push across the board. Campbell has been better than the rest overall, but not dominant.

I think we’ll see improvement as the weeks pass. Hopefully we’re looking to add a RB during the trade deadline.

In due time.

Rookie RB & WR in McDaniel’s system should tell you all you need to know…

There was a time not too long ago when Pats rookie RBs got stashed out of sight for a couple three years before seeing any real playing time. Henderson's ahead of schedule when looked at in that light. But ... we are seeing why rookie RBs got stashed.

 

[Mack Herron]

Titans have one of the worst run defenses in the league. The Pats run game is under the microscope this week for consistently underperforming capped by an abysmal showing in New Orleans. If there isn’t improvement this week, personnel needs to change.

Has a lot more to do with talent and the players ahead of the rookies actually playing than the system being too "hard"
