Derrick Henry is still an elite back.

That's all fine and well and I mostly agree. I'm telling you to go back and watch tape from the past two years and this year. He's quicker because he's lighter. 

I disagree with you and you don't know he's lighter. You're entitled to your opinion but that's just your guess. Someone that was already as lean as Henry doesn't just drop 10-20 lbs in one off-season without also sacrificing substantial amounts of muscle. 10-20 lbs is what it would take for an athlete to actually become quicker/faster if weight is the issue and he isn't already terribly overweight . The reason you think he's quicker is unlikely to be the accurate. He doesn't look any different to me for better or worse and he hasn't for years despite what people on here have been saying. If the Ravens suddenly lose 3 OL starters in the playoffs and have to go with backups, people will be talking about Henry hitting a wall or looking slower. It's the situation, not the player. Always has been.

Nobody had even heard of Lamar before Derrick Henry turned  him into MVP.  GTFO.

This is an awesome troll post if you're trolling.

Alrighty. Your opinion matters as much as the next on this issue. I don't care at this point what your point of view is on how Henry looks. He obviously looks better for a multitude of reasons.

To suggest any kind of improvement to Mythos is to suggest Henry wasn't already perfect!

Funny. He's never been perfect. He has most of the same flaws today as he did they day he was drafted. Flaw which I have discussed many times. He's just still the same guy and this applies to most good players. NFL players don't just magically improve and get worse year to year like you guys believe. They don't get football amnesia and then miraculously remember the next year. When they're not producing like they usually do, they're either hurt or have a bad supporting cast. When they "improve" they either got healthy or got into a better football situation. Let me ask you; did Saquon finally just get his phone call from Eddie George this off-season or did he finally find his way to a team with a good OL and passing game? C'mon, you know the answer even if you pretend you don't for the lols.

Dark clothes always make you look thinner and success makes you look better.

That's funny.  That's how we got him because he's kind of a misfit for NFL back.  JRob needs to get a lot of credit for snagging him in the second.  The stars just aligned for him to get with Mike.  He's been very healthy for a tall RB.  Plus, he's been on back to back teams that want to give him huge carry numbers.  

 

Destiny.

If Barkley plays next week he'll break the record

The Ravens were the #1 rushing team in the league last year, they had a very similar explosive run rate, it's slightly up this year, they had 7 more rushing TDs last year compared to this season. 

 

People can keep pretending Henry has added some element to the Ravens running game and looking stupid if they want. 

Was the Alamo located at the top of a hill?

The same way Dickerson sat out to preserve OJs record

[abenjami]

It's going to be great when Barkley breaks the record and then Dickerson starts popping off about how he needed an extra game to do it.
