1st round tackles are never easy to replace. I think a dominant DT is the hardest position to replace in football and one of the most important in the world of spread offenses. Henry is though.

effective DT is the maybe the hardest position to play (other than QB maybe) on the field.

finding a good DT is like finding gold, and they dont grow on trees. It's one thing to take on two blockers and keep them off the backers, it's another thing entirely to take on two blockers and make the play.

I remember watching Casey Hampton (eventual AA and AllPro in NFL) as a freshman against a good Husker team: He had two man mountains driving him off the line in a double team...I was thinking what I was taught, need to drop one shoulder to the ground, the guys push over you, then roll out and make the play...

Thats just what he did. They drove him back about five yards, he dropped a shoulder, rolled out and ran about 15 yards to the sideline to make the tackle. I knew then he was a keeper.
