My analysis of C.J. Henderson and body language.

Great analysis. I'm surprised you could focus that much on the interview. I found it painful to watch.

The kid is definitely an introvert and I could see how his childhood friends in Jax could be such a drag on his mental health.

 

Thanks. It was my assignment for the week, I could see any video on YT involving an interview depicting body language and report about it, as long as it was 5 minutes long. My report is more in-depth but I thought I'd share some of the key findings about C.J. and his body language and tone during an interview. Like most said here, seems pretty boring but if you analyze it, you can find some hidden wrinkles in there.

Ive heard if you ask someone a question and they look up away and to the right it means they are lying 

People have all kinds of tells for when they're lying. I've heard of your example before. Also licking their lips, repeating your question back to you before answering. general fidgeting. Body language is super interesting

Thread is terrible, and still don’t see how everyone would be happy with this trade. I wasn’t that excited yesterday and now watching this video makes me not like the trade that much more. 

You don't like anything though tbh.  Bet you don't like the Panthers being 3-0.

Trading for a one year removed top ten pick who’s only character worry is being quiet is amazing. He doesn’t have history of getting in trouble, he seems grounded and more introverted. I personally like his demeanor it’s good to have a mix of personalities we already have two very strong personalities at corner with Donte and Jaycee so his quieter personality will mesh well. I wish CJ nothing but the best I’m super excited we got him, incredibly talented and seems like a good dude.

Nice work, OP.

Pardon the redundancy, but I've copied this here (from the "First Look..." thread), because I thin it's more to the point here:

His introverted manner is of no concern to me.  Not every CB is a loud. cocky blowhard.

I took him as respectful to the reporters, not used to this interview routine, and a guy who'll let his play do the talking for him.

The good to take from the interview is that he seems happy to be here (a "player oriented team, with older guys to learn from"), and while we all agree he was miserable playing for Jax, he avoided the opportunity to trash that organization.  Looked modest and classy to me.

Eager to see him do his thing.  It should be a far more valuable add to the team than what Arnold could contribute.

if they scratch themselves in any body part (not the nuts for guys tho, you know if you know), usually that is a sign. For example if they do a small scratch nose scratch before answering. Not necessarily when replying or breaking eye contact.

why in the world are we talking about tells for lying??  This kid must be ecstatic that he's gone from an 0-3 team to a contender. (which brings to mind how poor Dan Arnold must be feeling, with the reverse)  I give him credit for being as composed as he was --I know if it were I in his shoes right now, I'd be yelling "Hallelujah!"

    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
