[quote=mooby;602964]Yeah, all we gotta do is call up the governer of whatever state Travis Henry's prison is in and hope we can get a pardon. Then we can get him back on the field!

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.[/quote]

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

[quote=SmootSmack;602966]Well, it's not uncommon to work out a veteran during the week. And especially with the Sherman Smith connection this makes sense.

If he is signed, and is activated, then it wouldn't surprise me to see him be the primary kick returner and possibly 3rd down back. He'll take touches away from Rock and Betts. That is if we sign him.

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.[/quote]

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.

Re: Chris Henry to work out today
 

About as lively as Patrick Henry.

Re: Chris Henry to work out today
 

Hopefully as strong as John Henry

Why the hell did we re-sign alridge?

Re: Chris Henry to work out today
 

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).

[quote=diehard;602944]Chris Henry?[/quote]

An overrated 2nd round pick who was drafted almost solely on the basis that he ran a 4.4 at 235 pounds. At Arizona he couldn't even average 4 yards per carry.

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.

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

Re: Chris Henry to work out today
 

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've been trying to fathom this since the thread was posted. Seems like a vey dumb move. I dont understand it at all.

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.
