Travis Henry is going to Denver, after he had a great season racking up 1200+yds and 7 TDs having a 4.5 avg, do u think he'll even have a better season in Denver? Him and Mike Bell will probably split carries, but i still think Travis Henry can get 1000+yds, what do u think of this pickup now that Tatum Bell is now in the Detroit Lions organization

Henry is 28, so he has a few miles left.
He is very injury prone, and I think he has at least one strike in the NFL substance abuse program.
He fits the scheme perfectly, one cut and go. He can catch the ball. He's a bit of a fumbler, but not too bad. He should excel in Denver if he can stay healthy and if he BLOCKS. Poor blocking and fumbling killed Taco Bell.
I say 1100 yards, and 8 TDs. Mike Bell is still going to be a force.
I was hoping Shanahan would find a way to get Thomas Jones or Willis McGahee, but Henry is serviceable.
We just need another WR. Wouldn't Darrell Jackson look good in blue. Won't happen, but that would be an upgrade over Smith.
Go Broncos!

Anyone can excel in Denver, they just need Jay Cutler to play well to make teams respect the pass and free up the run. Henry has the potential to excel even more than he did in Buffalo even with Mike Bell getting some runs. I think that he'll have an excellent year and will get over 1,000 yards

I think Henry will be the feature back. Thats why they are bringing him in. Mike Bell will get some carries, but they dont trust him so much. The Majority of the load will be on henry. 1000 yrs definatly especially with denver.

I like TH, but he isn't exactly young anymore. This guy is almost 30. I think they should have just stuck with Mike Bell. I don't think he'll hit 1,000 next year, especially if they use Mike Bell and him as a 1-2 duo.

Travis Henry will thrive in the Denver system, 1,500 yards rushing and pass catches as a bonus.
