re: Nick Saban's Tenure in Review: Season #7 - 2013 Alabama Crimson Tide

I don't think anyone understood how to deploy Henry and it involved retooling the offense and how you think about the run game.

Alabama could've probably ran off 5 straight national titles if they just fed Henry the rock like an old-school, high-carry feature back rather than rotating him for limited carries.

But it took Alabama until year 3 to figure that out and much the same for the Titans in the NFL. He's one of the few tailbacks in the last several generations, really, where the rules of offensive playcalling change if you have him. It is part of the reason I doubt his Baltimore career will be that great. They aren't feeding him the rock when LJ can throw for 4k and run for 1k.
