Trulon Henry makes most of 2nd chance

"The other guys at that position understand that right now, Trulon is outplaying them," Koenning said. "He's got the best tackling technique of anybody in the secondary."

The physical 6-foot-2, 225-pound Henry's strength is "coming down on the run," Koenning said.

That's a good thing for a defense maligned by Koenning for its poor tackling. Henry knows he'll see the field whether it's as a starter, a backup or a special-teams ace.
