He definitely said that before the start of last season (2020). Did he say it again this summer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PocketPool Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Henderson will still get most of the work since Sony can't catch the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 It's Sony Michel, he sucks no matter the situation. I wouldn't get too excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious what are you basing the bolded on? Gut feeling, watching him play while following the Pats, some stats? The stats show a pretty equal catch rate (Sony 65% [26/40] Darrell 66.7% [20/30]) neither is targeted often, each having just over 1 target per game played. Most RBs who are good at catching the ball get more targets than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also lacks explosiveness. I haven't seen a lot of Henderson but I would think he has to be more explosive and able to catch a ball fluidly while moving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Sony has like 500 carries and 40 targets, Henderson 180 and 30 targets. Sony was the primary back for a few years and didn't do much with it, and BB thought apparently not a ton of his receiving skills but he also had James White. Henderson was much more a part timer, my impression is Henderson is still much better in the receiving department but no clue what McVay has planned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No biggie, I also know that using the quoting feature is harder to get right on something like a phone with a small screen, I got your point thought, just busting your balls a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I'm starting to come around on the Michel train a little bit. I think the split will look about 60/40 with him and Henderson. Michel will get the goal-line looks too. The Rams are going to move the ball and this is his chance at some redemption. I landed him in a larger league as my RB2 and feel OK with it.
