After Tate Injury, Henry & Johnson Probably Can't Help But Smile

When Ben Tate was carted off the field Saturday night and most Texans fans were pretty upset (don't lie, it wasn't just me), two guys in Texans uniforms probably had to be smiling on the inside. Those two guys would be running backs Chris Henry and Jeremiah Johnson.
Unlike other people, Battle Red Blog tries not to report on the severity of injury news until there has been official word from the team or a doctor. Regardless of what other people think, we don't want to become an unreliable source of Texans news. Yes, we are a blog. But with how atrocious the local media can be on coverage, we'd like to still be an outlet for those who seek to know what's really going on with the team. We'd like to not become just a bunch of guys trying to break a story on Twitter. With that said, we now know that Tate will be lost for the season, as Coach Kubiak said yesterday that he will be placed on IR.
Now, with that done, the running back competition is down to four guys. Arian Foster, Steve Slaton, Chris Henry and Jeremiah Johnson. We all know by now that Foster is in and is probably the starter in Week One against Indy. There is virtually no scenario where Slaton doesn't make the team. Not even if he puts the ball on the ground three more times in the preseason. He will be on the final 53 man roster. As far as the other two guys, this is where the real tug of war begins.
Let's take a look after the jump...
To me, it's a given that the team doesn't bring another guy in to compete for a roster spot, at least not right away. I don't anticipate that happening until other teams make their final cuts in early September to get down to 53; anyone else they would bring in prior to that would likely be just a camp body. Not really anyone out there right now, but we'll see.
It has been pretty much a foregone conclusion amongst those following these things that Gary Kubiak is unlikely to carry four running backs. And even if you aren't an accountant, someone as "intelligent" as Chris Henry can figure out that there is still one last guy to hurdle for a roster spot.
In looking at the impending battle between the talented Chris Henry and the undrafted second-year man who spent his entire 2009 season on the IR in Jeremiah Johnson, who has the leg up? After only one preseason game and in my personal opinion, it is JJ. I know it is early, and it's hard to judge Henry off of just two carries for six yards, but sometimes a small sample size can be enough.
Henry has all the tools and talent to be a stud running back in the NFL. His physique is ridiculous and he hits the corner maybe faster than any back currently on the roster. But the label that has been tagged on him since he came into the league is that he looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane. The guy just seems to have such a low football IQ. The game on Saturday showed it, as he looked simply lost out there at times. At this point, it's hard to imagine the light just coming on and him figuring it out anytime soon. This scheme may be too much for him to learn.
Johnson, on the other hand, looked like a guy who could really help this team now. Yes, it is no secret that I have been a supporter of JJ since he was signed by Houston after being undrafted in 2009. The guy was a stud at Oregon and the only reason he wasn't drafted was because of an injury that caused him to miss his entire rookie campaign. John Harris and others have stated that he is the best downhill runner on the team and has incredible footwork. Although we are yet to see it in the pros yet, his stiff arm is a force to be reckoned with. And he certainly looked much better in the preseason debut than Henry, carrying the ball five times and gaining a team high 35 yards rushing. The only thing, in my opinion, that is keeping him from being a lock to make the team is his pass-protection skills. If he improves upon that, we may be looking at a roster that has two undrafted running backs in Foster and Johnson on its depth chart.
With these two guys expected to see most of the workload against the defending champion Saints (it still hurts me to type that) this weekend, now would be the time to impress the hell out of the Texans coaching staff. Let's just try to stay healthy, okay guys? Because we're one more injury away from one (or both) of them making the roster by default.
What do you guys think? Who would you like to see make the team as the third running back? Jeremiah? Chris Henry? Or....someone else?

Johnson for sure!
I agree, all it takes is one or two plays to tell you everything you need to know about a player. It’s the same as the first time I saw Owen Daniels out there. You see one block, or catch, or run and you just say “damn, we’ve gotta hold on to that guy!” I got that feeling from Johnson and not from Henry. I actually think he should be running second to Foster until Slaton decides that he can COVER THE BALL WITH BOTHS HANDS!!! This is the year and I can’t wait for September 12th, GO TEXANS!!!
if not johnson
then I’m on the Torain Train! Who is jumping on?

All about JJ
I saw him do some great stuff at Oregon- he seems like he has nothing but upside if he can stay healthy.
Plus, I can’t really root for anyone who used to play for the BE-SFs to play for the Texans.
I take Johnson
I think he had a better performance overall. However, with Tate going on IR, I can see the Texans bringing in someone even if it’s just as a camp body. We can’t wear down the backs with 3 more pre-season games before the regular season.
Jeremiah played pretty well with 6.6 YPC. Henry, I’m just not sold that he’s anything but a practice player.

Chris Henny and Chris Brown are the same guy
look good in practice, and the numbers say they could be good. But then they run very up right and have no vision. Slaton looked more like the guy from last year not the one from two years ago. He needs to get back to running on intinct and right now I think he is out thinking himself.
You can't fix Dumb or being a VYFB
except that Chris Brown looked fat, old and slow
and unfit to be on a NFL roster..while Chris Henry atleast looks physically imposing.
Put him in on the goal line and maybe we can get a yard without fumbling.

puh-leeze, I think we all know the only thing keeping Sloppy Slaton from putting it on the turf three more times is if Kubes doesn’t let him on the field for three more plays… meanwhile, Tiki Barber and Purple Jesus are debating inviting Steve to their little club.

But I want to hope Henry gets it. If he ever does then watch out. But I don’t see it happening
by AllenOU on Aug 17, 2010 2:02 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
The chances of that
Are even lower than Trindon Holliday’s chances of making the team, in my opinion.
I think Holliday has a very good chance of making the team
If they’re not seeing him as a likely returner they’d be giving one of our other reserves more reps in that department in the hopes they’d find someone to take the job away from Jacoby Jones so he can concentrate on WR or be cut on the last day… whichever you believe to be more likely… If he takes the majority of the reps at returner this preseason, i’d say it’s very likely he makes the team.
Not if he hits the hole timidly...
He might not be in one piece!
It takes a big man to walk away, but a bigger man to break his freaking jaw!
I agree with that
Though if he take the majority of the snaps at the return positions through all the preseason games, it’d be obvious that they’re taking a very serious look at him for those positions… Because of that, he’d have a good chance of making the team, it’s all up on him to play himself on the team at this point in my opinion….
Other players, such as Henry not only need to play well, but they need other players to perform at a lower level than they do as well. Holliday simply has show that he has the ability to be an upper tier returner in the league, which many people believes he has the ability to grow into… He just has to grow into it over the next 3 weeks or so.
Did anyone else notice...
that ST Coach seemed upset with Holliday after his opening kickoff return? That was the only return he had that was decent and it looked like Marci was ticked off. Did he break for the corner too soon or miss an open hole in the middle of the field? Anyone?
Agreed. That's why they play more than one preseason game.
He needs to transfer what he does in practice to the game. If he can do that, then the Texans have something there…because he has been tearing it up there.
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
If he even breaks one for 6.
I think they will keep him. TexansDC is completely right though, he needs to make a decision quickly and freaking run.
If he decides where to go quickly, he will be in for 6, because not many people will catch him once he hits full stride (which isnt very long).
JJ will make the roster for sure
but I think Chris Henry will too if he impresses on special teams and becomes a starter there.

Chris Henry
as I have said on other message boards, there is a reason Chris Henry wasn’t productive in college. Obviously he didnt accept coaching or they didn’t coach this kid at all at the lower levels..
He has no wiggle, & his pad level is way to high for a running back. he is just a kid whocapitalized on his athleticism and as he progressed he started to wash out as the talent around him improved. with his athleticism I could see him tearing up highschool teams and maybe some bottom tier PAC 10 teams, and he can tear up a combine. However he doesn’t know how to be a running back, hes the RB version of Demariyus Thomas in Denver. They didn’t coach him up at the position they just gave him the ball and said run. Or they pulled their hair out trying to and just said %$#@ it and let him do his thing. It sucks because with his natural gifts if he could be coached up his athleticism would make him an awesome runner but I don’t know if he can’t be coached or won’t be coached. Considering this is his second team and he has yet to start at the NFL level and was beaten out by Chris Ban me now Brown in Tennessee,and “Lenfail” White… and still couldn’t earn a roster spot the writing is on the wall no matter how well he practices, he just isn’t going to get it at this level…
Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity
Sounds like you know him well
Are you more than just a fan and speaking from direct knowledge of the situation? Or are you speaking just based on knowing that he hasn’t made it, yet and therefore he won’t make it in the future? You seem very adamant that he won’t make it.
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
I was replying to Ryan Perrio
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
just look at his history
hes already been in the league 3 seasons and after 1 season the tennesee coaching staff drafted another 1st round RB . thats a red flag Watching him yesterday with his hands on the ball he looked like the second coming of lorenzo white.
Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity
I don't see the Lorenzo White analogy
True, what you said about what happened at Tennessee. I thought he looked good on Special Teams Saturday and I think Kubes was saying that is where he needs to show his worth. Now that Tate is out for the season, I think his value has risen even more. But, back to your original post. Your criticism seems to be as much directed at the coaching staff as it is at the player. You said he had natural gifts and that if he could be coached up he would be an awesome runner. Wouldn’t that be the kind of player to keep in this situation, especially if you have two or three other RBs higher on the depth chart that you can rely on. I think the coaches have already said that they like him, they just want to see him get touches in the preseason games to see what he can do in game situations. And, as you stated, he hasn’t had that during his career. Seems like the perfect opportunity.
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
I've liked Jeremiah Johnson
Since his days at Oregon when I was living out there. There was a rather large portion of Duck fans, i’d even say they had majority, who believed Johnson was on another level up from Jonathan Stewart. Stewart was a big powerhouse runningback who could run over people. Johnson was a powerhouse runningback who could run over people, run around them, and occassional juke their shoes off… His biggest nocks were his injuries and he had too much of a tendency to dance around at times rather than shoot through holes, from watching last game it looks like he’s cured himself of that.
Jeremiah was a bullfrog...
and he should Jump to the #2 back and keep Slaton only for certain situations:)
GO TEXANS!!!!
Our time will come...
Keep Slaton out of goal line situations
And plug in Jeremiah to punch in the TD
Have you ever had feelings for a nun?
People act like Slaton can't get tough yardage.
If his injury is healed, he has the ability to bang in the short-yardage situations. His problem on that play was awful running technique. If we’re really going to have a reliable backfield this season, it’s going to include Slaton getting important carries.
And with 1 arm in the wrong place
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
It's his mind
His mind controls all of the above. He knows it but he doesn’t do it. It’s a shame…..
Here is my fix:
There should be a coach, and this is just me talking, who stands right by him on every practice snap and yells at him every step of the way. I swear, that is what it will take. Stand right over him and yell at him. Treat him like a marine at boot camp. He needs to be programmed!

He definitely has great BCV. He can make people miss and has a great burst out of the scrimmage. If he only had the speed to burn some defenders when he gets in the secondary.
He’s definitely a good back.
Why wasn't he drafted?
Seems to be able to make people miss in open space as well as find the hole in a crowd.
Also, anyone notice the ref taking a nose dive on the 2nd play? ROFLMAO!

good compilation of JJ’s TD-scoring ability – i think the dude is just built of the ZBS with his size, vision, and speed. like others have said, he has the wiggle and awareness that henry does not. really hope he brings out that nasty stiff arm!
Me too man.
His stiff arm is legendary back in Oregon.
He’s nearing Antwaun Molden mythical status though.
I hope he stays injury-free.
Related question.
What happened to Jeremiah Masoli? I know that Ole Miss picked him up but did he make the team?
I still think he can be a great football player.
A QB? Maybe not. Im thinking RB, he does have to size to transition from a QB to a RB in the NFL.
Agreed
Has to beat out an incumbent to start- he’s behind now but I assume he’ll pull through.
I see Masoli taking that spot
because the college season starts.
I don’t know about him having great poise in the pocket, but he’s definitely a threat when he’s on the field.
Coach Nutt would be nuts to not start him!
See what I did there?
Ironic
Slaton is backing up Foster because of a fumbling problem.
http://www.cbs.com/sports/video/?pid=LLa0iWCea4XAMJiJaAv1J1SmudChDoFI
I know its been hashed and re-hashed on here, but I watched Foster in college. I hope getting paid “over the table” has changed his propensity.
"I'm trying to get a feel for Booty" - GK
Foster has only shown promise as a Texan
In camp, practices and in every game he’s played in thus far. Though he’s not spectacular, he’s smart and hard working and he always runs for positive yardage. Thats all this offense needs to become the best in the league. If he starts fumbling of course my view will change, but hopefully that doesn’t happen.

Ben Tate Injury Update
Texans rookie RB Ben Tate’s season-ending injury included a fractured fibula, in addition to torn ankle ligaments.
The second-round pick is almost lucky to have so much time to recover, because this is a significant injury. “He should be back playing next year,” coach Gary Kubiak predicted. “It’s a big blow because we were counting on him a great deal. He’s a good-looking young player, but he’ll be back.”

JJ will be no 3 and maybe 2 depending on which Slaton shows up
Not since Earl Campbell have we seen a stiff arm in this town. However I say pick-up Gattrell Johnson for NYG.. we were high on him two years ago in the draft but he got scooped before we could get him. Gattrell is a one cut back playing in a traditional system.. he was raised in a zone blocking scheme… he’s currently #4 in NY and will probably be cut… Trade Henry and Bennett for him… He’s working for near minimum.

Come on, you always gotta include his statement with that picture!
‘At 12:01, I had a lot of respect for Trent Green," Johnson said. "At 12:20, I said FUCK Trent Green. To hit my knee like that, that’s uncalled for.

I'll catch a lot of flak for this...
… but Johnson was right to at least be angry. No one likes to see a guy go down like Green did, but he was wrong to try and throw that block. I wouldn’t want Schaub to try it, I don’t want other QBs trying it on my players.
And this is coming from a guy who actively roots for other teams’ players to suffer season-ending injuries. I have awful knees from time spent rotating in on the defensive line in high school and I’m 22; torn meniscus in the left knee, torn MCLs in both knees. I’ll admit I had sympathy for TJ on that play, even though he made as much of an ass out of himself as possible immediately after.
No flak needed.
I felt the same way. I just thought the whole situation was funny. And the FCWRP was funnier.

And this is coming from someone who would have paid $5-10 to have Travis killed in 2008. But he was justified in this event.

I agree with all
In the aftermath, what can we do but ridicule the situation in an attempt to placate ourselves in our misery as Texans fans. But, yes, at the moment, it was a dirty play on the part of Green. Sure, he was hurt and it probably led to the shortening of his career, but at that moment, TJ had a right to be angry. I can’t say that anyone else would have reacted much differently in the same circumstance. I think the guy who made the biggest as of himself over the situation was Keith Olbermann who made a big thing about it and named him the Worst Person in the NFL. Olbermann is such a tool. Can’t stand the guy and I openly wonder why someone like that is employed by a major network and gets airtime for such inane presentations.

too obvious
How about that other Southern Miss great, Reggie Collier…
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
JJ on practice sqaud
Not because Henry is better. I think that Henry is not practice squad eligible (correct?), which means that if we cut him, we have three backs in the stable:
Foster – looks good, but has had injury problems
Slaton – was good, but has injury and fumble problems
Johnson – looks good but has had injury problems
So, I could see putting JJ on the practice squad with Holliday and having Henry as the 3rd back on Opening Day. If Henry proves to be irrevocably stupid and the other prove to be durable, then cut him and bring up JJ.
Also
I have to admit, I keep hoping Henry will morph into Stephen Jackson. Not likely, but it is OK to dream.
works for me... shows toughness.
/oh, you meant the other Steven Jackson… whoops!
