Yeah I dont think he'll get the record... but he can move way up the list. 

 

Everything would have had to fall perfect.. Mularkey would have had to know how to utilize him (he admitted he screwed up there), Vrabel over working him to the strees fracture. Vrabel just running him into walls without help or a plan. The later shitty Titans rosters....  

 

Really though, if Vrabel just hadnt overworked him and He was used as a starter to start his career he'd have a real shot. I dont buy into the tread on the tires argument. 

Thing is about Vrabel and Co. running him with no help is they had McNichols on the roster and he was contributing and really should have been given some more reps, instead they cut him right before the playoffs for some cast off Colts running back for special teams who probably has played a down in the league since.

If he doesn’t break Enniitt’s record his career is a failure 

 

Aside from the criticisms of his style, the only blemish on Henry’s resume is the recent fumbling issue. Dude has been dominant and durable and will surely have yet another +1,500 yard season under his belt. Yet, you’d never know watching his offseason training regimen.

There is no fumbling issue... newer or older. Pretty much the opposite really. It's just magnified because it's Henry and some have come on prime time... and the couple haters here need any prayer of ammo. . 
 

If you just look at touches per fumble, he's one of the all-time greats at ball security...
 

Henry- 118 touches per fumble

CJ2K - 118
earl campbell 54 

Eddie 85

 

players above him on the career rush yards list. .. 

 

Emmit 81 touches per fumble 

Sanders 83

Bettis 90

Walter p - 50

Gore - 92

Peterson - 72

Curtis Martin - 129

LT - 123

Dickerson - 42

I was going to say the only great back with a fumbling issue was Peterson. Henry is historically reliable. His fumbles happen in spurts.

Dickerson was a fumbler

CJ2K and Henry are some of the most secure ball carriers in history. 
 

Wild because of how much we were sold on Eddie and his ball security.... and those two were like 40% better

We have had some of the most fun running backs to watch. Earl, Eddie, Cj2k & Derrick Henry. I just wish the Titans for once could hold on to a great player their entire career. This franchise always lets the best talent go. Especially to the Ravens. Steve McNair, Samari Rolle, Derrick Mason, Cary Williams (Was important to their Superbowl run), Derrick Henry.

He's gonna make the HOF on lots of stuff.

Henry is likely to get +30 carries against Pittsburgh. Hope he breaks a few

The reason people are making a big deal about it is because of the shity timing he has had with them recently.

Knowing the levels of his frustration, sounds like you fucked his wife and she left for the mailman. 

Pretty sure this happened and LTF is jealous that it wasn't him that fucked Oman.

This Henry sucks thing started in 18', then to start the season in 19' I was arguing with a bunch that was praising the Colts RB.  Henry's a bum.  Then Tannehill came.  Every year, he ain't good as insert name.  2020 same, first two, three game.  2021 was sad because he was setting the pace and MVP talk was going.  

 

The worse thing ever written was he cost the Titans a win in the 2021 playoffs.  He's out there willing to go on half a foot.  You have to have a QB.  The next big attack was the conflicted down.  I think Q told them that-just accuse him of CDD, conflicted down damage.  Da King just kept serving more stfu.  

 

Da King says fuck it.  I'm going to Baltimore.  Now, he gotta break Emmitt's record.  Why not throw in Joe Montana's record too?

I don't understand the fascination with Henry.  I didn't understand it when he played for the Titans.  I am completely baffled by the fruggin hero worship displayed here with a player for the Ravens.  The Baltimore Ravens, for crying out loud.  THE RAVENS!!  Seriously.
