Henderson retiring?

[gureski]

William Henderson brings a lot of things to the team that you can't measure. He's got class, leadership and a great attitude. I think him not being used much last season was a mistake. No fullback in the NFL is better out of the backfield then Henderson. He still blocks well and is a monster on special teams. For his age, he is a great player. While he may not fit the ZBS well (although I think he did a better job at adjusting then anyone else), he has talent. McCarthy should move him to Tight End. He has great hands and is a load to bring down.

As far as believing he should retire, then Favre should to.

They aren't what they used to be but they ARE good football players by any standards and any NFL team would take either one of them RIGHT NOW.

Yeah, that sounds like he is washed up to me....um NOT.

The key to this debate is him playing at FB. You admit he's not a good fit for the ZBS and say he should be moved to TE while proclaiming Henderson is one of the best FB's in the league?

You may want to rethink your defense here.

Henderson is not a TE and if he's having problems in the zone-blocking system where he gets a running start on his man, how will lining up closer to the line as a TE help his blocking?

Henderson is absolutely a fan favorite. Sure he has class but can he still block in the system the team is running? That's the real issue. From what I saw last year, he struggled. It was a big drop-off in performance. You can't keep him if he can't help the team on the field. If that's the case and Henderson is unable to help on special teams or significantly at FB, then make him a coach.

I thought I'd post this to further this debate:

This is from the ESPN Sportsnation chat with KC Joyner

Rick (Milwaukee, WI): Odd question here but it's to settle a debate. What do you see from Packers FB William Henderson last season? Should he hang it up or give it another go?

KC Joyner: (4:40 PM ET ) I'll put it this way: Henderson wasn't out there enough to make a strong impression. The Pack should probably move on.
