He has always been pretty good. Now he is in a system that makes good RB's very good. He should have a nice year. I will have to say thou he will not be the best by far thou.
LT, Shaun Alexander, Larry Johnson are at least 3 names of better Rb's. (he will be top 10 thou)

Mike Bell was a disappointment most the time last year. Travis Henry has been a solid back his entire career. Denver has been a RB factory for a longtime. Look at the starting runners out of Denver. We had T.D., Clinton Portis was great here, Reuben Droughns was good in Denver, Mike Anderson another good Denver runner, and they even made Ron Dayne look good. Most of those guys haven't been the same since they left Mile High. Travis Henry is going to be awsome. as for Shaun Alexander, he is the most overrated running back in the NFL, any back can set records when he had the best Tackle Guard Tandem...look what happened a year later...hurt.

He was great in Buffalo before he got injured and Mcgahee took over. He even did well last season when he finally got a chance to start in Tennesee. The Broncos system is setup for running and alot of guys with less talent than Henry have succedded there so without a doubt Travis henry is going to be a player to keep an eye on this year.

unless mike shanahan screws around again, he will
but the broncos have always had a run oriented offense with a great offensvie line and a new quaterback who can ACTUALLY control control the ball and not give to the other team every 2 seconds, thus giving the broncos more time of possesion and more carries for Travis Henry
As long as Henry runs well and does not fall off from last year, i definitely think he will have at least a good season.
its a simple equation :
run orientated offense + more T.O.P. = better numbers
unless he gets injured, or the john kerry of football puts him second the depth chart or he just has a bad season, he'll do ver well

The poll on NFL.com says that 30% think Travis Henry will run for the most yards next season out of all traded running backs, second only to Willis McGahee. The bronco's have a good O-line so i think he's in a good situation. Being in the AFC west, he'll have to play against the Chargers twice in the season, and will have to face their dominant run defense, so it might go against him.

if he can run for 1200 yds in tenesee in a run first offense, he can run for atleast 1500 yds in denver, the rushing capitol of the world. almost anyone can rush for 1000 yds in denver's scheme so with a good runningback like henry in there he'll do great. i don't think henry is one of the best, but he is very good.

I think he is the perfect type of RB for that system in Denver. If he stays healthy he'll have a 1,500+ yard season.

It's so easy to be great in Denver. He'll be great this year. If you want to get some idea of the kind of season he'll have this year, look at the seasons Clinton Portis had when he was in Denver.

yes although being a Bronco fan he should reach at least 1200 yards i say this because he will be splitting carries with Mike Bell although i think at least 1500 in the system.

My grandmother could rush for 1000 yards in Denver, so yeah, he'll be really good. 1500 yards or so this season if he stays healthy.
