Frustrated. Disappointed. Eager.
That is the range of emotions former Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry says he's feeling right now as he awaits trial for misdemeanor charges of assault and word from the NFL whether he will play again in 2008.
In his first public comments since being released by the Bengals, Henry said he is excited about Tuesday's court ruling that he will be allowed to visit other NFL teams.
As of Wednesday afternoon, no official visits were scheduled. But Henry mentioned a pair of teams at the top of his wish list.
"There are two teams that I would always love to play for: That's New Orleans and Dallas," Henry said. "New Orleans is home for me. That's always been a big dream of mine. Hopefully I can get in there and sit down with the coaches and maybe have an opportunity to get down there. And Dallas is another team that I've always looked up to as a kid and wanted to play for them."
It is unknown at this point if either the Saints or the Cowboys want to meet with Henry, who says he is keeping his options open and "willing to visit whoever is interested." He will be required to show the Hamilton County (Ohio) Court a letter from the team for which he is trying out before being permitted to travel.
Henry contends he is in decent football shape. He spent approximately four weeks in Cincinnati's offseason workout program before being released. But house arrest admittedly has hurt him recently in that regard.
For legal reasons, Henry is not allowed to discuss his upcoming trial but expressed remorse for it leading to his release in Cincinnati.
"It kind of hurt being cut, because I had planned on being in Cincinnati for a while, a long time really," Henry said. "I was kind of disappointed for just putting myself in that situation. But things happen and I just got to move on now. Hopefully I can get picked up by somebody else and just prove myself to the next team."
Henry believes he can be a productive player for someone next season. The 6-foot-4 receiver has shown good ability as a third target in Cincinnati. During last year's eight-game suspension, the Bengals were 2-6 without Henry and 5-3 with him in the lineup. In three seasons, he recorded 88 career receptions for 1,370 yards and 17 touchdowns.
Of course, much of Henry's future will depend on the way the judicial system plays out and how it looks in the eyes of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Being allowed to visit other teams is a good first step.
As far as his next step?
"Just taking care of this situation I got on my hands right now, and just moving forward and trying to get back on that field," Henry said. "Because that's what I love to do is play ball, and that's what I'm trying to do."

He had ONE problem in college, thats it! The only problem he really had in college was by the defenders who could not keep up with him! |

The king of spin at it again!
Since you are proven owned (again!!) about Henry, you decide to change the subject to WVU itself. Why am I not surprised??
Over the last 5 years WVU is one of the most successful football programs in America. That is the truth and bottom line!

Seek help! What was I proven wrong about? The guy has been a trouble maker all his life, it's why he slipped so far in the draft. What about "He was a problem in college" is not correct? Just leave me alone of you don't have anything intelligent to post. Stop w/ the schtick and get serious for a minute please. |

The Jet's should not go after Henry. The franchise should just pack up and go play in the arena league. |

What was proven wrong? Hmm maybe that he was a problem in college. He was not a problem in college at all! The only problem was by the defenders who could not keep up with him. There is a difference from having A PROBLEM and being a problem. If he was such a "problem in college" you should have no problem listing all the "problems" he caused. So lets see it!
By the way, he declared for the NFL draft before he was kicked off the team. So again, show me what examples you have to show he was a "problem in college".
Please no spin this time, either answer the question or admit you were owned(again) :jj: |

That is true until Pitt basically wrecked their entire program last year with that upset win!
All jokes aside, I was a WVU fan before I was a Pitt fan (went to Pitt for my undergrad), especially back in the Major Harris days. And you are right about Henry, he really wasn't that much of a knucklehead off the field back in college. |

You are saying he declared for the draft before being kicked off the team so if he was going to get kicked off how was he not a problem?
| Quote: In 2004 he started seven games and caught 52 passes for 872 yards with 12 touchdowns. However, Henry was kicked off the team following the season by head coach Rich Rodriguez. |
They only kick guys off the team who don't have problems :D
| Quote: Since his college days at West Virginia University, Henry has had a checkered off-field career, coupled with several on-field incidents. During his redshirt sophomore season with the Mountaineers, he was ejected from a game at Rutgers due to multiple unsportmanlike conduct penalties and was suspended for the season finale at Pitt. |

Nah he never had any problems at WVU :lol:

Do you read the links or just post them. According to YOUR LINKS these are his problems at WVU:
During his junior season with
the Mountaineers, he was ejected from a game at Rutgers due to multiple unsportmanlike conduct penalties and was
suspended for the season finale at Pittsburgh.
Find me one top 25 college football program that does not have players that have issues similiar to them. There is a reason why you will not show me all of his "problems" at WVU. That is because they hardly exist!
Every single person in Morgantown knew that Henry was going pro for 2005. He had been unhappy with the coaching staff the entire season, and with his backround was not going to pass on the $$. Why dont you do some research before you talk next time :jj: |

The man got suspended! these big time programs do not suspend after a 1st or 2nd offense. He was repeatedly a problem that caused them to suspend him and when NFL teams did background checks they came away knowing he was a problem which is why a guy w/ his enormous talent fell all the way to the middle of the 3rd round in the '05 draft.

First off, why don't you prove something for once. You go back and find what you need to prove a point. Second, I remember Henry from College and all the commentators talked about were how talented he was but how immature he was.
Quote: "He will not be playing in the Pitt game and will not make the trip."
It marks the second suspension for Henry in less than a month

lol, so as usual you have nothing to back up your points. Even the articles you post do not back up anything you say.
Thanks for showing us all what a moron you are. I could not have done it without you .
Again, if the NFl did backround checks and came up with all these problems, why wont you tell me what these problems are?
Maybe because they do not exist(only in your head)...If they do exist, show them to us. We all know that not showing up for weight room practice has no effect on the NFL scouts. So lets see it buddy :jj: |

| He was suspended TWICE w/in a month! Do they normally suspend players for no reason? They didn't disclose the reasons to the media, does that mean he didn't cause any problems and if he didn't then why did they suspend him twice? |

He was suspended for the dirty plays on the field vs Rutgers.
Then he was suspended for not showing up for a weight room practice.
Those are hardly any things that effect your draft position or classify you as a "problem" in life. Find me one top D1 team that has never had a player who was suspended. He was and is a fucking kid. To classify him as a "problem" is fucking idiotic. But then again, I am dealing with you :D
But I already proved that you can not back up your points! Isnt it funny that I had to list the reasons that got him suspended, and you could not.........

So since you have all this info about "backround checks" why dont you fill us in and let me know what they found. After all, anything found in a backround check is public info so it would have nothing to do with releasing it to the media!:jj:

You still have been unable to give any "problems" except:
-Having 2 unsportsman like conduct penalties in one game and getting suspended. This happens on the field of professional sports every time there is a game.
-Missing a weight room workout that was mandatory.
Far from anything that would cause you to be a "problem" in the twenty first century.
How could a guy with access to "problem" backround checks not be able to bring anything more to the table? Just share it all with the rest of us.
Ill wait......again :hw: |
|
|
| KingOfAllWhites |
P.S Your link you provided below(Sports Illustrated)) predicted Henry to go in the 6th round!
What round did he go in?
Oh yeah, THE THIRD!!!
lol, yeah that backround check really effected him negatively. All of those "problems" really hurt his draft status.
Can you say owned? :jj: :rofl:

Where did I mention missing weight room workouts that were manditory? You keep spouting off but as usual you do not provide evidence. Where are the articles to prove your side? I have proven my side like I always do but you fail to do so again, that's how you "own" posters :lol: |
|
|
| KingOfAllWhites |
:lol:
You would think I was the person who called him a "trouble maker" and claimed to know about backround checks that came back negatively.......
Meanwhile you have been unable to post ONE CLAIM that backs up anything you say. Where are these in incidents that came back in the backround check? Why cant you answer all of the "trouble maker" mentalities, he had exhibited at WVU and before then..
Remember, you are the person who called him a trouble maker, not me!
So again I will wait for you to back up what you say. But I wont hold my breath, because I know you will never post it....
That's why your OWNED....AGAIN!!! :jj: :hw: |
|
|
| StumpMerrill |
You are so boring w/ the same old responses. Yep you "owned" me :rolleyes:
Now I have to provide the teams notes on the guy? You NEVER provide anything to back up yopur claims, I always do and yet you question me. Your act has gotten old, I am moving on. There's no point in discussing anything w/ you. |
|
|
| KingOfAllWhites |
So again I take it you can not back up your "trouble maker" claims and that negative "backround check"............
If I called him a trouble maker and claimed he had a negative backround check, I would back it up. However, I am not making those claims..
I just want to see what you saw in the backround check, I do not think that is asking too much. Remember, you are the one who said that negative backround check caused him to drop so far in the draft. Even though the link YOU POSTED(SI, a reliable source) predicted him to go in the 6th round, and he of course went in the 3rd round.
Just post what you saw in those backround checks and we can move in..it is that easy!
Ill wait....again :hw: |
