Except with Henry. He shouldn't have given him the carries he did the year of the foot injury and he clearly shouldn't have played him in the Bengal playoff loss. He also kept giving him carries after it was obvious the injury was severely effecting him. 

I don't think either he or Henry realized how serious the for injury was. I put it more on Henry because it's impossible for the coach to know how bad the pain is if the athlete doesn't communicate it. Vrabel probably thought he was in a pain management situation not a season ending one. Henry is the type to have debilitating pain and lie about it to not come out of the game.

The guy on the turf should be in a postal worker uniform.   Kinda like this...    

If I was underage you'd really love Henry then! Then you could vote for him!

He was running him at a pace that had never come close to being equaled before. He played 7.5 games.. but still finished top 10 for attempts. Insanity.

I know that the volume was nuts but Henry can handle high volume more than most. Had either realized what was happening to the foot, I have no doubt they would have approached things differently. The athlete has to tell someone that something isn't feeling right. Now if Henry writes a book and says that Vrabel forced him to run through extreme pain that everyone was aware of I'll feel differently but that doesn't sound like Vrabel to me.

Wasn't that after Henry had recovered? I didn't think that was a pain thing. Henry was just rusty as shit. 

 

He was still clearly hurt, he was limping badly as the game went on
