Derrick Henry is still an elite back.

This is a new era of RB.  

He's the most outstanding.

And he's da King!

I said it before this season; if Henry didn't make it then who would? He's been the most dominant back of the era. Though let me say that if it wasn't for injuries, Nick Chubb would be right up there with Henry. He's the only back I've seen this decade that I think is close to Henry talent-wise. He's incredible and it's a shame injuries will result in him being completely forgotten once he retires.

Injuries are a huge problem.  I think players are stronger and faster through modern medicine.  They get more muscle and speed, but the risk of injury goes up.  When a roided up LB gets a clean solid hit, somebody's body is going to tear, crack or break.

Supposedly Henry’s yards before contact is over 2.5 yards per rush. Holy shit, no wonder they always have the best running game in the league no matter which scrubs have been back there

The Titans would absolutely have been better off not drafting Willis or Levis and continuing on with Tannehill and trying to acquire a real QB this past off season or beyond. 

 

And do you honestly think Henry leading the league in rushing for the Ravens right now has any bearing whatsover to what the Titans should have done regarding Henry? 

 

That's pretty fucking dumb.

 

The fans tweeting and calling in complaining the Titans didn't keep Henry are fucking idiots. 

RT would’ve been on the IR after week 1 and wasting space. 
 

Yes you keep your best player until you know they are done. DH is clearly not done. 
 

Go back to screwing up peoples mail you dumbass.

I played against John Henderson, and Troy Flemming. Those were fun....

 

 

 

The biggest mismatch I have ever seen was when we played Martin Westview in 1993, and Chad Clifton was a 6'7'', 295lb OT/DE (later Vol and Green Bay Packer OT).  He was unblockable.

 

I remember him knocking John Robinson 2 yards back into the backfield on first contact. This was when JRob was a ~6'2'' 250lb All-State senior and built like a brick shithouse.

Henry's durability is much more skill (and investment) than it is good fortune. 

 

Similar to his ability to protect the ball and avoid turnovers.

LeBron James spends 1.5M on his body.

Derrick Henry spends 250K.

Them: "Anybody can do it"

Us: "Name someone who has done it nearly as much'

Them; ......... *crickets*........... if you love Henry so much, why don't you marry him? 

 

Pretty much how it goes every single time.

11 carries? Recipe for failure

I only half-assed watched the game but it looked like L Jackson was off today, too.  His runs were fine but his passes weren't connecting.  I suppose that's a divisional game for ya, though.  

[OILERMAN]

Henry only had 15 carries last week. 15 carries two weeks before that. 

 

Even more they do not play him a ton. There are games he doesn't even have the majority of snaps at RB, Hill does. 

 

If the Ravens do not have a good lead Henry is not going to get a lot of carries. They pass and run a lot of spread before they get a lead. 

 

Today he had a 39 yard run, yes untouched wide open run. aside from that next to nothing. It's how his season as went but he has a lot of those runs
