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

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!"

Um, I was just replying to the comment 4corners makes, I don't think he was associating the behavior to Henderson and lying about anything. My reply was in general, not to the topic about henderson.

Wondering if the disconnect in Jacksonville was them wanting him to be more vocal, social, talkative, etc. and they tried to force it on him which made him pull back which would not be surprising in the testosterone fueled, alpha male filled field that is football.

The solution might just be as simple as leaving him the hell alone and letting him be himself and do his thing. With our focus on mental health and sports psychology that should be something they are able to identify.

There have been repeated issues with other coaches on staff, with Meyer’s temper and lack of familiarity with the ebbs and flows of the NFL calendar rubbing the Jacksonville Jaguars staff and players the wrong way, the sources said. There is a disconnect at times between the members of the staff with extensive pro experience and those who lack it, and morale has suffered as the outbursts have continued. His fiery remarks to players and coaches after games have already struck many as bizarre.

A kid who spent his whole life in Florida as a known introvert comes to a new city that he knows will be his new home, for better or worse, and people are ripping him for not being a better more excited interview?

Yea. I am kind of surprised they threw him in front of the media so soon. He seemed very uncomfortable, why did they do it?

Scientists, Doctors, Poets, Writers, Inventors, Pilots, War heroes/leaders…and (albeit rarley politics wise) Presidents like Lincoln are all introverted/dominantly introverted professions/introverted styled leaders.

Sadly our society looks down on it, but it’s is a fundamental and profoundly essential trait needed for humans to even exist and even excel. I blame the negative stigma to a lack of education and people’s insecurity. It’s rare a well educated person does not recognize/understand the above, at least in my experience.

It’s funny how this culture values extroverts and the loudest people in the room to the degree of self sacrifice and over looking the alternative. Countless examples.

My analysis:  he wants to play ball, feel like someone cares about his efforts, and otherwise be left alone. 

A la Chris Gamble. Not saying Henderson's at that level for sure, but Gamble was the same way and is arguably the best corner Carolina's had (especially when longevity is factored in), definitely top 3.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
