Any Travis Henry own who did not draft M Bell in a reasonable round is an idoit...

Time to sell high M Bell owners
Ironic.
:thumbup: And, the original post is pretty asinine even excusing the misspelling.
OMG... so ####ing sorry I put the o before the i... and how is it asinine not to draft Bell at a reasonable $$ given Henry's injury history.This thread has little to offer... I'll wait for the 8th T Henry thread to come out... that one might have some insight.
here is the link to Henry's career atats at NFL.comhttp://www.nfl.com/players/travishenry/car...ts?id=HEN669935

2001 13 of 16 games

2002 16 of 16 games

2003 15 of 16 games

2004 10 of 16 games- last year in Buffalo not clear starteer (Bills fan can chime in)

2005 10 of 16 games- 1st Tenn year not clear starter and 4 games missed for drug issues

2006 14 of 16 games

So in the 4 years Henry has been the clear number 1 RB, he has missed 3,0, 1, and 2 games. Since a greater perecentage of backs in a given year do miss time versus don't, it does not seem to me that Henry represents an above average injury risk.
The 2 games last year, I don't think he played because of the coach. Not positive, but I am sure one of the FFGs knows this for sure.
so on top of having a couple of injuries... hes had drug problems and has been benched be his coaches... yeap; theres my 1st rd pick. :angry:

Henry seems like one of those guys that just can't catch a break unless it's a broken leg. I hope this isn't serious. I always avoid this guy in drafts but I cheer for him on Sundays. He seems like a good guy and a hard worker.
Seriously? Rape down?
The Bill’s Travis Henry was sentenced to 100 hours of community service for sexual misconduct with a 15-year-old girl.
Who did he rape?
Its called statutory rape
No, it's called statutory rape. The girl consented. Ergo, she wasn't raped.
For the record, minors can not consent.
Travis: Will you have sex with me?Minor: Yes.

It's not that complicated.
Then you go try it big fella. Report back.
 
Hopefully it won't be like Lamont Jordan (MCL didn't need surgery).

The Raiders waited 5-6 weeks before putting him on IR.

 
"Man, I can't tell you how relieved I was," Henry said. "I woke up with some discomfort this morning, so when that MRI came back, it was a blessing. Because the way they got me, I could have easily had something seriously wrong."

Henry hopes to return this week, though given the Broncos' growing number of injuries, it wouldn't be a surprise if he is held out of the preseason game Saturday against the Cleveland Browns at Invesco Field at Mile High.

 
I said this in the Travis Henry hype thread many weeks back....prepare to be disappointed with injuries with this guy....he has never stayed healthy and played a full season....yet people want to risk their entire fantasy year by picking him in the mid 1st roundTypical Henry.....this was so predictable
Funny... I didn't see anyone else post it, but I got slammed for saying it in the Henry thread just a week ago...
You two are a couple of Debbie Downers! : (
This guy I went to High School with was named Travis Henry, he lost both legs in a paddle boat accident....

Travis Henry (knee sprain) returned to practice Monday.

Henry will be held out of the preseason finale, but should be close to 100 percent by opening day. Mike Bell (hip pointer) also was back on the practice field Monday. It's uncertain if he will play this upcoming weekend.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like that at all. I know it's better then, "Henry is unlikely to be close to 100% by opening day", but SHOULD be CLOSE 100%, for a RB taken that early is a little shaky for me. It's like there saying he should be 85% (close to 100%) by opening day. Again, not what I would want to hear.

I'm taking the pessimistic point of view on this as well. I took him at #5 in my main league (10 teams) and I've had some buyers remorse ever since. "should be close to" isn't "will be 100%"

:shrug: I think you guys are reading too much into SHOULD and CLOSE (Although I'm not sure I ever had Henry as high as #5). Sure, we all want a 1st round pick to lock in stud #'s while limiting risk as much as possible, but as far as I can tell, unless you have one of the first four or five picks, many RB's have some questions surrounding them (SAlexander/foot healed?....Gore/Broken hand...etc)

Last I read, Henry was practiced today without pain. Several posters in this thread have picked him up falling into the second round lately. That seams like a steal to me.

Considering people were taking him as high as #3 overall prior to this injury, IF Henry plays at a 100% level, getting him in the 2nd round is a STEAL. IF he is 100%...

Who's to say that just because Henry plays at 100% he is worth the #3? I know I wouldn't take him #3 even if he was 100%.

Kellen Winslow said that he'd never be better than 75% for the rest of his career, and then he grabbed 89 passes. The moral of this story? These arbitrary percentages are essentially meaningless. What does it mean if an RB is 79% instead of 64% or 85%? What's the difference between 90% and 100%?Realistically speaking, Henry will be healthy and able to go by opening day. He may not be at full strength, but NO PLAYER IN THE ENTIRE NFL is ever at 100% after week 4 or so. Everyone is always nicked, dinged, or whatever, but that never seems to make a difference. I recall seeing a study looking at how players performed in games where they were listed as questionable, and it found that it was right in line with how they performed in games where they weren't even on the injury report. 100% is a myth, a concoction used by the media to assuage nervous fantasy footballers everywhere. In the end, all that really matters is whether a player is able to go or not.

Fake Edit: I found the study I was thinking of, but Construx's hosting died. I'm going to PM him and see if he still has that data so that he can repost it here.

 
-- Titans Loaned Money to Travis Henry --

Mon Aug 27, 2007 --from FFMastermind.com

#

The Nashville Tennessean reports the Titans had no comment Sunday about a published report that they loaned former RB Travis Henry $9,800 for child support payments. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Henry, 28, fell behind on support payments for a child in DeKalb County, Ga., to Jameshia Beacham, 29, that were mandated by a previous order. Threatened with jail, he borrowed the money from the Titans to pay the bill, according to court records. Henry, a former University of Tennessee star, played for the Titans in 2005-06. He was acquired in a trade with Buffalo in the summer of 2005, and received a base salary of $1.25 million that season. Last year Henry made the NFL veteran minimum of $585,000. The newspaper reported that Henry, 28, has fathered nine children by nine women in Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina and Georgia. He has been ordered to provide child support for seven of them, according to court records involving the child living in DeKalb County. Henry, who now plays for the Broncos, has a $25 million contract and a base monthly salary approaching $50,000. Court records show that he spent $100,000 for a Mercedes and $146,000 for jewelry.
:rolleyes:
 
Feeling good

Running back Travis Henry returned to the practice field for the first time since spraining his left knee in the Broncos' Aug. 18 preseason game against Dallas. He wore a brace and took limited repetitions with the scout team.

Henry admitted he was "a little timid" running to his left but said this week's practices should be enough for him to get back his conditioning for a full workload next week in preparation for the opener.

"No pain," he said. "They just wanted me to feel my way, so I was just picking and choosing when I burst when I felt good. It was just to see how I was, and it was great."

Hosting sites are blocked here at work but I'll try to find one from home tonight and repost this. But SSOG is right on. In my study of the 128 Questionable players (QB, RB, WR, TE, PK) that played in 2005, they averaged 9.2 points in those games, versus an average of 9.4 points per game overall in 2005. So only a -.02 point difference. Also, of the 244 Probable players that played, their average difference in those games versus their 2005 average was also only -.02 points per game.

Specifically relating to Travis Henry, he was on the injury report twice in 2005. He did not play in week 15 against Seattle when questionable with an ankle injury, but did play the next week against Miami while still listed as questionable with the ankle. In that Miami game he scored 7.5 fantasy points, which was 3 points HIGHER than his 2005 per game average of 4.5.

 
Who is the back up to Travis Henry?

Is it Mike Bell? How is his health? Any effects from the hip pointer?

Is it Cecil Sapp?

Or is it Skelator and his RBBBBBBBBBBC?

 
Here is a link to a page where you can get my article and the Excel file:

Whatever they're paying you, it's not enough. You deserve at least a 20% raise for this study alone. ;)
Thanks a lot man. What's funny is that they chose that article as a Freelance winner, and paid me the money, put never got it on the site. So I started that thread but I'm not sure that very many people saw it. Sort of sad.
