Derrick Henry is awful "for me at least"

Hes slow, clunky, cant get through holes

Bumps into defenders

Cant break tackles

No breakaway speed

.

Saquan was 100x better

Looks like Im gonna have to build shapeshifter

I don’t know what type of team you have but I have a nearly maxed out derrick henry, 92 speed 90 acc, and human joystick. I am gonna have him to 93 speed when Lamar comes out and I get the chem. He has been great for me. No he doesn’t play like saquon at all. He’s very much a one cut and let the momentum build. Only press right trigger when you find the gap and just a little wiggle and a stiff arm here or there and he has been really fun to use for me. Im in Champ 3 , in 12 games with henry between some gauntlet and ranked I have 10 rush tds, 6 receiving. Averaging 6.5 yards per carry (I was sitting around 8 with gibbs but I ran him in different situations), 61 receiving yards per game too. When you can hit him on swings, speed flats like out of spacing switch or double slants, the speed boost of the route and his locomotion make him almost unstoppable towards the endzone, every defender literally just bounces off of him. That all being said. If you are trying to purely win and you a have good team with chem, there is no reason not to use the shapeshifter. He’s been a headache at rb to deal with.

What does pressing right trigger do?

dont forget he can spin too, I was grinding TDs for XP in challenges and its still solid without spin cycle

Henry’s been great for me, don’t know what you’re talking about.

Running Freight Train, Bruiser, and Human Joystick on him (not the most meta but just trying to have fun) and even without Freight Train he’s super fast and always needs 2 guys to bring him down.

It’s turbo man, when you press turbo too early at the line of scrimmage, your rb gets tangled up in the traffic of the o line and d line because your unrealistically pushing full steam ahead out the gate. That’s one physics factor they have right. And when you press right trigger, sheds occur way quicker for your opponent. If you don’t properly steer your rb without using turbo until you find your lane, You won’t find any rb all that enjoyable.

Facts bro, I haven’t even had to really cause he has been fast as hell on my team. I look for contact at this point😂
