One big difference is Henderson is also 10-15lbs bigger than Bush. Bush was never built to be an every down RB, and White was needed to work with him. Henderson doesn't need Teague and Williams for Goal line or short yardage situations. But it's smart to use them to keep Henderson fresh.

I think it's his top gear that makes the difference. I don't know if we have any times recorded for either that I'd believe as accurate, but I think Henderson is faster.

Tre only having to get 10-15 touches a game and still beating ass is just a joy. The comparison to MoC is fun because we had to lean on him every game. Tre is unworldly talented, but we don't have to lean on him at all. I think we will need him a bit more later in the year, but he'll have fresh wheels and we will be looking back happy that we were able to preserve him in the first half of the season. But on his status among the all time greats...he obviously has a ways to go, but he is the most talented RB I have ever seen in Columbus. He has to just keep putting up the numbers to join that club, but Tre is elite in every category, even blocking.

He and this RB crew are demonstrating what I've been harping on for years, but we weren't, for whatever reasons, able/willing to implement. Rotate the backs and require that they execute at a high level on the plays they get. The old saw that you have to have time to get into a rhythm may be true for some, but it's not for a stable of very good to elite backs who push each other in a group culture that requires energy and results in every rep. Obviously, this starts with coaching, but I'm crediting Henderson, as well. This year is different and I think that's because we have a young, supremely gifted, but unselfish back who produces not after 25 reps, but right fucking NOW.

Having more than 2 keeps them sharp..work you play, practice you play, show an attitude you sit.

Didn't we kind of have that with JK and Weber?
