I watched the game Friday night. Taylor was very impressive. He made yards when there were none to be had; often side-stepping in the middle of the line of scrimmage to find a crease. Yulee was the better team and had a better defense, yet Taylor still found running room. It reminded me of our teams when Emmitt was a Freshman. No one could block worth a darn, yet he found ways to make yards regardless. Henry is truly a force, but I can't see him as an RB. He is very slow to get out of the backfield; his first step takes an eternity. Once he gets out of the backfield, he was a man among boys; however. No one could tackle him and his top end speed - once he gets up to it - was very good. If I had Henry, I do would do whatever I could to teach him how to throw. He could be monster QB, and a threat to take it the distance on any down. Second idea would be tight end; he has the frame and doesn't need the quick first step as much as good hands and power. Defensive End is an intriguing idea, but seems a little bit of a waste. -Zeb -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
