I see Hendy as the big play and passing game threat. Again he reminds me of Kamara. Dangerous and capable but if he's ramming into a stacked line it seems to wear him down. IMO he's the complimentary guy.
Akers is the guy they drafted to give them good success rate to move chains while also having some passing game threat. They talked about his ability to make the most of runs into heavy traffic and on his film you see him sustaining his level of play in that kind of usage. So I agree he'll end up getting most of the carries.
Brown is best when he's well rested off the bench and on runs where he takes what is there. When he dances around it's not his role so IMO the staff will get him back to that and if not he's going to see his snaps dry up.
Yea Akers and Henderson both offer something to the offense for sure, I just think as the season goes along and down the stretch heading into the playoffs, I wouldn't be shocked if Akers takes the reigns on the backfield. There is just nothing that Henderson does better than him IMO, and Akers offers more wiggle and ability to make people miss in space, whereas Henderson is more one cut and down hill slasher type. I do think both are starting level NFL RBs. Also Akers has hardly caught the ball thus far but has hands like a WR and can actually run a ton of routes. Its a good problem to have for us and I hope they both can stay healthy .
