I get a blank screen (work computer blocking sites en such).Thought this was funny. (Yes, I'm a homer)...
Is there a quote, a video, a pic, or what?

You are asking the wrong people. Results from the past two seasons suggest that Hugh Freeze guy can probably answer your question quite well. Then, in honorable bartering fashion, you can provide Hugh with information on how to prevent the wild hog lateral play.No I'm talking to you, and all Alabama fans this way. You can't have a legitimate discussion with one because any suggest that there might be a weakness or a player is not going to be a hall of fame college and NFL player they lose there shit. I asked what Alabama's weakness is and I was told none. So how do you have a decent conversation with a fanbase that has their head waist deep up Saban's ass?
Henry isn't overly agile and isn't extremely powerful. He goes down at first contact too much now and the players will only get bigger and faster. He is ok in the pass game, but isn't really good at pass pro or as a receiver. He isn't bad at those, but isn't great. In college he plays behind a great run blocking line and often gets 30 carries a game against defenses that are getting worn down. That just isn't as likely to happen in the NFL, especially when he isn't out maneuvering or out running anyone. I think he can be a less powerful Blount in the NFL.
Not clueless at all, I'm honest. If Henry was a good pro prospect, I would rate him so. He is a great, great college back, but he is a less talented Brandon Jacobs in the pros. That's just who he is and that is fine. He will find a home in the NFL and play his role well. He just isn't an outstanding pro prospect.SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE. Yet another clueless football-challenged Ohio fan. Color me shocked.

Those are pretty basic facts. Unless he immediately hits the hole and gets up to speed he isn't powerful. He takes a long time to build up speed and he isn't powerful until he does. He doesn't have great balance because of the way he is built with a big upper body and long legs. Blount and Jacobs are idea comparisons for him."Henry isn't overly agile and isn't extremely powerful. He goes down at first contact too much."
Where's the video of Bama players finding out they were playing state? Oh right, Saban hid his players from shitting their pants when they found out they were playing Oklahoma or Michigan State.

Not just my opinion btwNot fact, your opinion, which is worth about a peso.

Derrick Henry - Alabama Crimson Tide - 2015 Player Profile - Rotoworld.com
Look at the 4th one down where it says In poll
Derrick Henry, RB, Alabama
There is another one.
I'd take the word of some NFL execs and scouts over a biased Bama fan, but that is just me. What do I know?
He is only powerful once he gets to full speed, which takes far too long. He doesn't have great balance and long legs which makes him much easier to tackle with leg tackles. He isn't going to win with agility and in the NFL it's going to get much much worse.Obviously not much if you contend Henry isn't agile or powerful.
Apparently you don't know about the pre approved sarcasm font.Is that you Gary Danielson? You're the only I've ever seen that knows what someone else is thinking and doing at all times. Must be you.

Unlike MSU and others, Bama players were snoozing in the rack when the pairings were announced. You see, Bama is accustomed to playing for all the marbles. It's a normal for them, unlike the three other teams that can go decades without sniffing a NC trophy.Where's the video of Bama players finding out they were playing state? Oh right, Saban hid his players from shitting their pants when they found out they were playing Oklahoma or Michigan State.
