If you actually watch him run, you realize he’s improved. His footwork is far better than it was and he’s making cuts that he never used to make. The problem is the oline isn’t sticking their initial blocks and failing to make it to the next level.
The run was with 4:59 left in the second, I can't post the video because of copyright laws. Once Henry go to the secondary, all Nick WBI had to do was get in the way of #5 and Henry was going to cut outside and take it to the house
I agree with the cuts and stuff. He's running "different"... But I don't know if that's necessarily always good thing. A lot of the runs look "forced" and "twitchy" rather than his normal smooth running style.
I'm referring to him just looking more aggressive with the runs rather than patient and smooth. OLine can't block to save their lives so he's just going full steam ahead on some of them.
Might not be the same run, but it looked like he stopped to go around a DB instead of plowing through his arms. The Db wasn’t directly in front of him.
The footwork, vision, and cuts are all there this season. The top speed just isn’t there yet. DH22 has looked better and better, he’ll be fine, I’m not too worried about him moving forward.

I was probably one of the people most down on henry going into this season. He has far surpassed my expectations so far and I couldn't be happier.
134 carries is what we pay the man for. Surprised only 4.0 per and 37 rank. All good though. He's also doing better than I expected. Think he is beginning to trust legs now. If only the man can get some good blocking.
He's running into loaded boxes behind an awful OLine. I'm surprised he's 4th in rushing!
Yeah, it’s hard to be successful when 2 defenders are in your backfield 30% of the time you’re running.
6 are QBs and only 9 other RB have a 100 carry sample size.
He most definitely looks better.
Henry now has 4 straight 200 yard rushing games against the Texans. No other running back has ever had 3 against a single team. Pretty insane stat.
One thing I’ve noticed Henry has actually gotten better at this season is his footwork and cutting. We always knew he had elite change of direction speed, but we’re seeing him consistently juke out defenders now.

Yeah, it's good to see him being shifty when he looked like a log against the Giants and Bills.
it's almost like he should've gotten reps in preseason and then instead of warming up week 4 he'd be warm by week 2
That's been his pattern for the past two years, he starts slow and really gets going about halfway through the season. I'm glad he's got his wheels back!

Really wish Henry could get some damn help. Feel really bad for him.
Still a damn BEAST.
