The T-Hen 1500 Watch: Week Four

Welcome to another installment of the T-Hen 1500 Watch, the House feature, where the ChiefsNation third of the HoG will measure the success of Donkey running back Travis Henry. We look back to the illustrious prediction (Editor's Note: This prediction has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Old No. 7 or anything he has published here on these InterNets) that prognosticated the certainty of Mr. Henry rushing for 1500 yards in this, the 2007 campaign. Take note that Mr. Henry's ability as an athlete hasn't necessarily been questioned in this regard. It was merely suggested as laughable to suspect that he would maintain his ever-questionable health and reach such a feat in this very season behind this very non-cheating Denver Bronco offensive line.

The way this little exercise works is this: We measure the prediction of 1500 yards for the season divided by 16 games. For the less-gifted in the math department (Note: This includes me), that's roughly 93.75 yards per game. Let it be said, therefore, that should the mark be reached, ChiefsNation will then appropriately commend Mr. Henry and the heretofore unnamed beholder of such great faith in the Volunteer alum that once shared the college backfield with Jamal Lewis.

Well. The HoG is certainly glad that Mr. Henry's feeling better this week, not looking so spotty, getting some of his color back, as it were. Those pesky Colts, even though they didn't allow the Broncos to leave Indianapolis with a victory, did allow T-Hen to net 131 yards on the ground, a nice 28% of 1500. This brings his total to 433 yards on the season, and we may very well find ourselves giving him back his entire body before the season's up.

But wait. The season might very well be for Daddy Dearest. (Update: He's not ready to throw in the towel just yet.) It certainly was a busy week for the Denver tailback, though.
