Yeah it was great to see Ben looking well. He says he's about 80% right now and expects to fully participate in training camp. How is Carson doing? Will he be 100% for the opener or are they going to hold him out until after the bye (some commentator on ESPN was saying they may do that)?
As for Henry, I agree that he has the ability to BE very good. The raw talent he showed when at WVU was outstanding, but he's gotta put his head on straight. He reminds me right now of former Pitt star and Bilitnikoff (sp?) winner Antonio Bryant. Was awesome at Pitt but had off the field troubles and now he's struggling as the 3rd or 4th receiver in Cleveland, I believe. NFL wide receiver is as much about heart and dedication as it is ability. Hell, in Pittsburgh we've got Hines Ward. Average size, average speed, but the guy gives 110% heart on every play and stays out of trouble off the field. I personally love Chad Johnson. Havent heard of any off the field troubles from him and like Pgiven (formerly mwind) said he gives 110% to preparation for Sunday's game. Plus, his antics are hilarious. Coaches will always take chances on guys like Henry, Bryant, Marcus Vick, etc. hoping to "change them" but generally that does not happen and within 2 years they are released or traded for a late round draft pick just to rid the team of their contract.
