As for him taking the team farther than they went? Hmm, maybe. I seem to remember him being a one trick pony as a WR. They just sent him on a 9 route, and hoped that he had one on one coverage.
Yeah, but he was damn good at it when he was available. Availability was his biggest problem, be it from injury or suspension. He never stayed out there long enough to develop into much else, but as far as one-trick ponies go, his one trick was highly effective. Henry was a great deep ball WR straight out of college without any NFL seasoning. If he had any ability to get his head on straight and consistently hone his craft, who knows what he could have been?
That season was a rollercoaster. The Stokely game was brutal, then they win in Green Bay, the "TOUCHDOWN ANDRE CALDWELL!!!" game, sweep the division, the Vickie Zimmer game, Henry's passing, the late afternoon game vs the Bears where benson vented his frustrations in an epic destruction of hs former team, then as always, disappointment. It was a season any Bengal fan will always remember.
