The Travis Henry waiting Game (2 Viewers)

[benm3218]

A guy who works in the medical profession in Nashville and is supposed to consult for several NFL teams has indicated to a forum poster that Henry is hurt a bit more than is admitted or known right now. There is no link, and it is not official or confirmed. But, its a case of a FBG wanting to help his other FBG's as much as possible, so he posts what he has heard.....

No guarantee it is true, just a heads up that if you can make a move on another guy for cheap, do it.

People have gotten so mad over this... Just ignore it if you don't believe it. It COULD be wrong. It PROBABLY isn't going to pan out. But, its not a case of someone trying to mislead another person. Its a case of trying to help out our FBG friends with a potential gold mine information piece. I hope for Henry's sake he is ok.

 

[Hash Mark]

Maybe Denver wants to rest Henry until after their BYE week 6.

 

[Bayhawks]

You can't have positive result on an MRI if the area is so swollen you can't tell. Thus it was negative.

Too swollen? Where did you get that from?

Duck and cover.



Except this is not true. A test that shows damage would be considered "positive" proof of injury. A test that showed no damage would be considered "negative" proof of injury. A test that is unable to show anything (because of excessive swelling) would be considered "inconclusive." If a Dr. (or MRI tech) were to tell a patient that his MRI showed up negative for damage, but in reality it was too swollen to tell would be opening himself/herself up to a malpractice lawsuit.

We may be seeing a situation like Rudi this past week. At least I hope so.

I appreciate the sharing of information. I'm confused by the "more than is admitted or known" right now. That is a strange way to communicate. "Admitted" is understandable in the new age NFL of cloak and dagger gamesmanship with respect to injuries. Maybe "known" is being used to imply media knowledge, but otherwise it is misleading. By definition, you cannot know that he is injured more than is known. It's what I would call a guess.

While you are absolutely correct from a medical perspective, it was Skeletor, not a Dr. who used the word "negative".

"Walker is doubtful for sunday and rumor does have it that he'll be out for at least 5 more weeks...

Travis is probable for sunday and is just being held out of practice to get more rest to heal the bumps and bruises from the load he carried sunday."

I'm thinking maybe he has ball cancer, and they want to tread lightly at the moment.

 

[burd]

based on all the chatter here yesterday about Henry being injured, i thought i had no chance of picking up Young on the WW. I guess the guys in my league are going w/ the MRI story. I lost caddy and alex smith last week, so if it's true that Henry is going to sit, picking up Young early might save my season.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Dodds has Henry out. Bloom has Henry in. I don't think anyone knows for sure.

I have the carries split bw Young and Henry to reflect the uncertainty. Each day Henry doesnt practice, Ill give more carries to Sapp and Young. I personally believe he won't play, but since they havent ruled him out, and Henry is known to play through pain, I'm taking a wait and see approach.

yeah i meant known by the media... sorry for confusion. Also, I am not saying it is true or not........ Just that it is out there, and if you could have picked up young yesterday for a free waiver play then why not. I am not being adamant that I think something is wrong. I dont know.

If I made a move every time a thread started on the next big player due to injury rumors, lineup rumors, offensive philosophy rumors, etc., I wouldn't have any starters left, just a bunch of potential fantasy "GOLD" players. The latest trend in the SP is to trash everyone else's league for not being as tough as their own if certain players are available. In certain leagues with small rosters or low RB limits (strange but I've seen them), people cannot afford to just run out and add players due to every potential next big thing.

I'm not saying not to make the move. And I didn't say it is the case in every league. Read my posts. I'm simply making the point that every rumor doesn't turn out to be true.

We're well on our way. Apparently you're allowed to speculate that Henry might be seriously injured. You are not, however, entitled to the opinion that he might be injured less severely, as so far reported in the media.

 

[BigJim®]

I have plenty of wasted space on my redraft team, so it was little problem or risk making room for Young. I pull for Henry though dating back to the infamous 'will not be top 10' thread, so hopefully this report is wrong.

No problem. It's just that your earlier post appeared to be making fun of anyone who took the word over an internet "insider" over the mainstream press. The problem is that by the time it hits the mainstream press it's probably too late to get Selvin Young. And most people who are picking up Selvin aren't dropping LT to do so.

Tough situtation, but if any of us are expecting Selvin to receive 15+ touches, even with Henry on the bench, are probably going to be a bit underwhelmed.

Adding to this entire situation is the 4:15pm start time for the DEN vs SD game this week. No matter what the real story is, I'm sure Shanny won't tip his hand early. If you have no other late game options, you'll have to submit your line-up at 1:00pm and hope.

He may be asking you to move along because you are unnecessarily rude. Having read this thread I'm confused why you are taking this rumor so personally [based on your last few posts, including the eyeroll]. Anyone who trades Henry based on this report is a fool; but getting rumors that help me pick up a potential low-cost sleeper is why I come here. I wouldn't want to do anything to discourage such reports so long as they are fairly disclaimed/explained as unsubstantiated.

Thanks....why can't there be more posts like?

 

[brindrod]

I posted this in another thread dedicated to Travis Henry but with so many of them going around, I'll cut/paste my response in each of them......

First, let's get this straight. If you are a Henry owner and were not wise enough to prrotect your investment with Selvin Young as a handcuff, you're probably the one that's asking these asinine questions and starting these multiple threads about Travis Henry's possible injury,playing time or role in the Denver offense.

Fear and stress is obviously eating the insides of the GMs who were asleep at the wheel by not grabbing Henry's handcuff.

Secondly, those that did grab Young because the Henry owner was on sleeping gas are just praying to the fantasy Gods for either a season ending injury to Travis Henry, or that Shanahan starts to flip a coin as to who will start as his RB1 or that Young becomes a goal line vulture.

For them, I recommend that they download Burt Bacharach's Wishing and Hoping into their IPod. I'm partial to the Dusty Springfield version myself.

Third, Young owners are obviously playing the smart game by making the Henry owners panic into making a lopsided deal to acquire the handcuff. If Henry owners are giving in to absurd trade offers, more fool them.

So here's the lesson of the day; If Henry is good to go, Young will be simply a change of pace back who can excel in the Denver scheme. But with everything being equal, should Henry miss playing time, Young owners who think they hit the jackpot will inevitably face the same nightmare that have given ulcers to past Tatum Bell, Mike Anderson and Ruben Droughn owners when they were in Denver. A nice three-headed monster will appear with Young, Bell and Sapp that will have you scrambling for the waiver wire week in, week out and make you check all the latest news till 12:59 on Sunday to find out who will the the Broncos starting RB.

Now please, end your unfounded speculations and calm yourselves.

I was shooting for sarcastic, as you probably can tell if you read my first post in isolation. I don't think it's rude to suggest that trusting Internet rumor over media reports is a bad idea. Of course, I could have just written it that way, which no one would consider rude, but it would be pretty boring, too. Seriously, I rarely seek to be rude, with the exception of a few Bengals posters and BGP, and the occasional Seahawk fan who may have joined these forums immediately after SB XL.Then when I get told essentially to move along because I'm not 100% buying the "Henry has a significant injury" line of thinking, I pointed out that moving along cuts both ways -- not just the way CrossEyed wants it to be. I'm a CrossEyed fan and a Pittsburgh guy, so I've got no gripe with him.I'm not looking to discourage rumor and speculative reports, but I do think the source should be considered.The situation as I see it is that Henry is highly questionable to play Week 5 given the Week 6 bye. However, any lengthy time on the sidelines appears unlikely. Young will see the field tjhis week at least as much as last week, and on the outside (to me) chance that Henry is significantly injured, he would see an increased role. However, I don't believe even if Henry is out for the year that Young will simply be plugged in and end up with production similar to Henry through Week 4.Now should I not post that? I believe that if I was considering acquiring Young with or without Henry on my roster, I would want to consider the role Young might play if Henry was out for multiple weeks.

I find it ironic that other posters insinuate that I'm taking it personally because I believe Young will not be a huge pickup either because Henry's injuries are not severe or because I suspect other RBs would also be asked to share the load if Denver is without Henry. Once again, apparently you are taking it personally if you are not as high on Young, but you are being objective if you believe he is a great pickup. Sounds a lot like Pat fans defending Belichick, Wilfork, etc.

I believe that role would be lots of touches and instant stardom Then Shanahan trades him for a #1 pick in 2008, keeping the status quo.

There is no link, and it is not official or confirmed. But, its a case of a FBG wanting to help his other FBG's as much as possible, so he posts what he has heard..... No guarantee it is true, just a heads up that if you can make a move on another guy for cheap, do it.People have gotten so mad over this... Just ignore it if you don't believe it. It COULD be wrong. It PROBABLY isn't going to pan out. But, its not a case of someone trying to mislead another person. Its a case of trying to help out our FBG friends with a potential gold mine information piece. I hope for Henry's sake he is ok.

I was the OP in the other thread, and I posted the info exactly for the reasons set forth above. I even qualified the whole thing to death regarding the source of the info and the fact that it was all unsubstantiated. If the shark pool wants to generate mass hysteria about it, then I can't help that. I am a Henry owner, and if someone else had info like this, I would want them to post it here.

In which case you are a moron, as I was very clear to qualify the information, and outright said you should NOT do anything crazy like trade Henry, but may want to pick up Young if you can do so chealy and./or without dropping a valuable player.Man this place amazes me sometime.

I don't think anyone knows for sure.

I have the carries split bw Young and Henry to reflect the uncertainty. Each day Henry doesnt practice, Ill give more carries to Sapp and Young. I personally believe he won't play, but since they havent ruled him out, and Henry is known to play through pain, I'm taking a wait and see approach.

Are you saying Sapp has a chance at the job?

Can we turn this thread into 5 pages of rambling nonsense like the other one? I really enjoyed the last thread...

We're well on our way. Apparently you're allowed to speculate that Henry might be seriously injured. You are not, however, entitled to the opinion that he might be injured less severely, as so far reported in the media.

No, you're not allowed to speculate either. They lock the thread if you do.

Travis Henry-RB- Broncos Oct. 4 - 1:03 pm et

Travis Henry (ankle, knee) appeared to walk with less of a limp on Wednesday than he had following Sunday's loss to Indianapolis.

This is good news, but Henry's status may come down to a game-time call and an issue of pain tolerance in Week 5. He is still experiencing soreness. Rookie Selvin Young would start against San Diego if Henry can't go.

Because sometimes they are right....and if they are right then you have GOLD in Selvin Young...and if they are wrong you just have another bench player that you can drop at some point.

Unless you traded Henry because of this "news".

In which case you are a moron, as I was very clear to qualify the information, and outright said you should NOT do anything crazy like trade Henry, but may want to pick up Young if you can do so chealy and./or without dropping a valuable player.Man this place amazes me sometime.

People need to start reading the information on the first page of a thread before posting on the third or fourth page. Makes it a little easier to understand.I appreciate you posting it whether it was rumor or whatever. I was able to get Young and felt a lot more comfortable afterward. Plus I only had to drop my second Def, and its only 5 bones.Thanks
