Derrick Henry is still an elite back.

You can argue he makes the Ravens more explosive but LOL that he's more valuable than Lamar Jackson.  If you're going to Greenburg or Rich Eisen for football analysis, you may as well deepthroat a shotgun.

Not joking, I was a halfback in a winged T offense in high school.  Played tailback when we “mixed it up” with the power I formation.   3 yards and a cloud of dust quite literally at times.

Randy Moss wasn't more valuable than Tom Brady, but like Moss Henry is having that type of transformational impact on the team that's putting it over the top.

LOL.  No he's not.  The Ravens were first in running attempts and yards last year too.  They averaged 28.4 PPG last year and are averaging 31.1 PPG this year.  

 

Lamar's explosion passing has little to do with Henry.  Hell they play Hill way more when they pass than they do Henry.

Henry is the only player since 1970 to lead or co-lead the NFL in rush attempts (134), rushing yards (873), yards per rush (6.5) and rush touchdowns (eight) through Week 7. He has 873 rush yards on 6.5 yards per rush this year, a crazy combination of volume and efficiency. The last player to hit both marks through seven games was Jim Brown in 1963.   He is in rare air no Oilers or TN back has visited.

Henry is on pace for an NFL-record 2,120 rush yards this season. The current record is 2,105 by Eric Dickerson in 1984. Henry's 873 rush yards this season are ahead of his 2020 pace (775) when he reached the 2,000-yard mark.  More rarified company.

The Ravens wouldn’t lose anything without Henry. Greenberg’s take is honestly one of the worst I’ve ever heard

I knew a dude in high-school who could have played division 1 football and basketball but his shoulder couldn't stay in socket. He may ave even been pro worthy in b-ball. Always felt bad for him. 

I definitely wasn't that good, but I had a chance to make it past high school without the injury. I was a dog in the trenches lol.

Yes they would. They would lose a closer. 

 

They win the AFCCG last year with Henry on the roster because they never would have been dumb enough to have been that lopsided and only rush 6 times to a RB. That's what he brings. He forces them to keep a balance while also adding in the fact he's the most explosive positional player in the NFL.

I used to absolutely hate defending  double wing offenses. It was like playing a different game. It also sucked as a corner because they would run, run, run, then suck you in with PA and you're so focused on run supporting that you didn't notice the receiver/TE slip behind you.

The game they needed to close out Lamar closed it out

Not when it mattered the most with a chance to go to the SB. You said they'd lose nothing. I completely disagree. He forces balance to the offense.

Does anyone really think they run the same game plan against the Chiefs last year with Henry on the roster? Hell no. I said it before the game if anyone cares to find it exactly the way the Ravens could lose the game. They won't make that mistake again with Henry on the roster.

LOL I remember when Code wanted to cut/trade McNair during the 2001 season and draft David Carr.  

I actually wish you guys hadn’t run people off the board. Wild takes like that are at least entertaining. 
 

 

 

Tbf many of the “top 5” here wanted to extend Tannehill for 3 years and cut Henry. One’s currently unemployed and the other is leading the NFL in rushing. Pretty fuckin’ dumb!
