If you want to get Travis Henry’s attention, simply say, “Cheese.”
But don’t merely expect a smile when he hears the word. Expect a story, too — of how the Broncos’ newest tailback earned an unusual nickname during his days at the University of Tennessee.
“It’s a long story. There was a guy, a senior . I was a freshman. His name was Corey Terry. We were scrimmaging and he hit me and I kind of buckled him. When we got back to the locker room. he was just like ‘Man, you’re hard. You’re hard. You’re like a block of cheese.’ He told me I was like a block of government cheese.
“He said I was hard to slice. A reporter heard it and they ran with it.”
The only slicing that the Broncos hope to see from Henry is of him knifing through opposing defenses — exactly what they expect from a runner who has three 1,000-yard seasons in the last five years.
“That’s been my M.O. my career,” Henry said. “I run it hard. I’m going to run it the whole game. I get better as I tote it. I think that’s the perfect way to describe it.”

Say ‘Cheese’…
…
Is Henry gonna keep his Titans and Bills number #20….if so what’s Mike Bell gonna take?
Hello Fans,
I know this is off the subject but can anyone explain the situation on BLY. I heard a rumor that he wants out. Is that true? If it is, let’em go. I wouldnt want anyone on my team who doesnt want to be here. If its not true, then great less do the doggone thing.
delux
P.S
RAMSEY A STARTER?????
Mike Bell won’t go anywhere, who else would take him? Besides, the Broncos could still use his jumping skills.
Mike bell will keep #20, so Henry will have to pick another number, since Bell got 20 first.
And he better be a good tailback, we need a real RB. what happened to the 2nd best ranked run offense 2 years ago, we’re slipping…
Henry offered Bell 10,000 dollars for number 20
Bell wants number 30 since he loves TD
The only way Ramsey is ever going to start is if Cutler gets hurt
i cant believe these guys offering that much $$$ for a freakin number.
well their loaded anyway so its like pocket change to them
Okay, this is what I have haerd about Bly, the lions did him wrong when he requested to go to the redskins. He has family in virginia, so he wanted to be close to them. Guess he didn’t get what he wanted. OKay, so the you might ask, what next? I heard that Washington is going to get involved and offer shawn springs + the #6 overall pick in this year’s draft. So that means champ on one side, shawn springs on the other, John lynch is one safety, and hopefully with that high draft pick the broncos will select LaRon Landry for LSU. Now, whether all that happens is just a hunch, and speculation, but the odds of it happening are pretty decent. and then with that 21st pick they can pick up that rookie DE that I keep hearing about. Oh well, till then, you boys take it easy
Thanks broncos97……
One thing though, I thought Shawn springs was a safety???? I might be wrong though. Thanks anyway!
