00:00Travion Henderson, over the last three weeks, he had, let's see,

00:04it was 19 touches, then 15, then 24 in the most recent game against the Jets.

00:10Do you think that should continue even when Ramondre Stevenson comes back?

00:15Or how would you use Travion Henderson the rest of the way?

00:18I don't think it should continue when Ramondre comes back

00:21because there's just a certain amount of plays you have on offense

00:26and you want to divvy them up so one guy's not getting too much,

00:29especially if the strength of Ramondre is probably in between the tackles running

00:33in a way that it generally isn't for Henderson.

00:35But I do absolutely sense that Henderson is running with much, much more confidence right now

00:42and much more decisive about what he wants to do with the football when he gets it,

00:46which was coming and you knew that he was going to,

00:51once he got used to the National Football League and regular season games,

00:54he would become more confident.

00:56But, you know, those red zone runs that he had last week were just ridiculously impressive,

01:01I thought, both of them, one with power, a couple with power,

01:04and then one where he just stopped on a dime and left a Jets defender grasping at air.

01:09It just shows you that he does have unique explosive skill

01:13that they haven't had in the backfield for a while.

01:16So we'll see you next time.
