The 99-Yard Run

My view might change, but I wanna say Henry’s run was better than Marshawn’s. The only thing Marshawn had that I found maybe more impressive was escaping the initial hole. 

 

But Henry’s was a 99-yarder.  And all those stiff arms. And the breakaway speed. 

 

Currently, I’m sitting at Henry with number one. 

This morning's paper said Henry reached 21.7 mph on that run which is the fastest of any RB this season.

did you see the official tennessee titans response to that? hillarious    

I can’t fucking believe I was there for this. 

Given that it's only happened once in league history before tonight, I figured the play alone warranted its own thread.   Also a fun fact here...

Giving him space is more important than the amount of carries. 

Exactly. This idea that all Henry needs is 25 carries a game to be a beast is misguided. Yes, more carries of course give him a better chance to break a big run but in terms of per carry efficiency it's all about having running room. I'll take a 11 carry well blocked game over a 22 carry game with little to no running room every day and twice on Sunday..

The long touchdown runs he made eclipsed another 10 or so carries he might have gotten had the drives, with no big gainers, gone the length of the field to First and Goal instead of culminating with 50+ and 99 yards to the house.
