Henry.
Coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, Henry isnt about to relinquish his starting spot easily and as Wilson put it: "One of the compelling story lines going into this season is whether Henry and McGahee can co-exist."
Both players are willing to give it a try.
"I dont think it will be a problem," McGahee said. "I think the coaches have a plan to make it work."
"If it can work I want to make it work," Henry said. "Its something different for both of us. Well just have to wait and see what happens."
Henry and McGahee will do more than just split carries and playing time. There were several plays where they lined up in the backfield together last week.
Its a personnel grouping Mularkey said will be used often this season.

"Were not going to ask them to be lead backs and blow up backers like you ask a true fullback to do. But theyll both get their share of blocking responsibilities, catching the ball and running. If you get two quality backs like that, youve got to get them on the field somehow."
But as Wilson noted, McGahee is no different from the rest of us; he wonders if he has regained the explosive speed and power that made him a consensus All-American at the University of Miami.
But hes not going to rush it. If the months of rehabilitation have taught him anything, it is patience.
"I can play today if we had a game, but Im just going to take my time and build myself up to where I want to be," McGahee said. "When the time comes for me to show what I can do, Ill be ready. But Ive got time. Right now, I just feel good about getting back on the field again. ..."
