Is the fact that the Jaguars have allowed it to go this far. The longer they allow Henderson to look bad at their OTAs, the lower his trade value gets. He should’ve been gone on draft day. I would’ve been much happier if they traded Big John for a 3rd rounder in this year’s draft to get Derek Cox rather than waste next year’s 2nd rounder. That would have been essentially trading Hen for a 2nd rounder, which has no shot at happening anymore.

Like I’ve said before. We should trade John and maybe a 5th for Glenn Dorsey.
John always seems to get hurt. Even when he starts sometimes, he’s doing it at half mast. And if you pay attention to him when he’s hurt, he’s not very effective at all.
Also when I’ve been watching him these last couple of years, he just hasn’t looked the same. And I know it coincided with Stroud leaving, but it’s not because of the counterpart loss. ( It’s a spurious correlation.)

your point Chris. Totally. And my mind says, “trade him”. But my heart says, give him a last chance. Wait until trainng camp. If he still not shows any good signs, then try to trade him somehow.
But right now (and I mean NOW, at this point) I’m not ready yet to say100% “Trade him”.

This is the Jaguars inept attempt to run a franchise once again….I woulda easily sacked him on draft day…..OF LAST YEAR!!!!! The Jags did themselves in when they got rid of Stroud….Everyone knows someone who has charisma that makes you want to work harder, party harder or just be around them…..Stroud was that!!!! The Jags are lacking that unless someone with SIZE and presence has a break out year and I dont mean MJD…..Its hard to get fired up in a locker room listening to a voice and you only see the top of their head….Not Knocking MJD these are proven factors in motivation…..Napolean could do it for his armies why? Cause he was on a horse….

We won’t have any depth. Rob Meir, Terrence Knighton, Derek Landri and then who? A bunch of nobodys. We got rid of Tony McDaniel. We can’t get rid of Henderson without picking someone else up who’s legit.

Did you guys see the colts last year? Because of their defensive line size, they got run over. We don’t want that.

We need Big John this season. Del Rio and the leaders on this team have to do something to motivate this guy.

….after JDR verbally destroyed Lazy John the ESPN guys went nuts

Trade Big John.

John’s case starting to be the elephant in the room in 2 days. WOW!

The 3rd point is also good.

Where is he at now?

NFL.com has this:

I bet it’s the heat. I hope something positive comes of this. Either through trade or increased determination. Oh well…

 The only way to stop it is Football.

Can somebody please tell me why an 8 foot man is acting like a baby? I have seen this ever since Stroud left, but I never really wanted to believe it. But now that it is on the table, let me shed some light on it. He is trying to do the exact same thing Khalif Barnes did, half-ass play so he can get traded (or cut). But we can’t trade him without getting another big body in there. I don’t want the team to not be as competitive as we could be. We need a replacement or find a way to get him going again. Maybe they should hit him with baseball bats before kickoff………….

I really like Big Hen, but if he is hurting the squad, he has to go. Maybe something will change before the opener. We still got some time to heal this.

He answered it in 2 parts:

I fail to understand the benefit of calling out Henderson publicly. Could you explain for the non-jocks out here?

Vic: I don’t think it takes much imagination to figure out that Jack Del Rio probably tried all the other stuff and it didn’t work. I think it’s safe to assume that he tried patience and understanding. I think it’s easy to understand that he reached the end of his rope, so to speak. I think the first thing we have to do is understand that Del Rio knows a lot more about this situation than we do and that he almost certainly had been dealing with it without going public for a long time. Yesterday, he decided he didn’t want to do that any more. Why? Because it wasn’t working. Let me ask you a question: What were your thoughts last December when Del Rio announced a new no-nonsense approach? Did you applaud when he said everybody would be expected to participate in the following spring’s OTAs? Did you nod your head when he talked about bad chemistry overtaking the team and the need to fix that problem by demanding a new resolve and commitment to winning? Did you like that? Well, this is it and all those words would be meaningless if the message isn’t reinforced

The sceond question taker is a non important figure. He very often mistypes, that’s all you must know about him…

I wanna ask about John Henderson. Is just a minor problem or the situation with him is a real big concern?

Vic: That’s the definitive question and only Henderson can answer it. Yesterday’s comments are a line in the sand. It’s a line coach Del Rio drew last December and he re-drew it on Tuesday and it can not be crossed. The players on this team will watch this drama very closely.

how do you get vic to answer your questions all the time?

We could have had a guy like Ron Brace ensuring no one get’s to Durant… that’d have be some leverage.
