EC34 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 It hurts egos here, but Henry is a Hall of Fame quality RB who had at least two more good seasons in him after some here left him for dead. I would argue that he is the #2 most impactful player as a Titan after Mac. And it does suck that he ends his career in purple and black, as Mason and others did before him. Go on King. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanruss Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 There's a reddit thread going about Henry and his post 30 play pointing out some pretty incredible stuff: Long post, so of course I'll post the entire thing here for Oman. Derrick Henry Since Turning 30: Historical Perspective Derrick Henry turned 30 on 1/4/2024.Since then, here are his numbers: -2024: 17 games, 325 carries, 1,921 yards, 5.9 ypc, 16 td -2025: 17 games, 307 carries, 1,595 yards, 5.2 ypc, 16 td -34 of 34 games played -632 carries or an average of about 18.6 carries per game -632 carries in a two consecutive year stretch is his second highest as follows: No running back has ever had a comparable two year stretch of superstar performance at age 30+. Historical Perspective can be summed up by this year-old Reddit thread with particular attention to the ending passage: (broken link) "Longer Term Outlook: (The Bad News) - Needless to say, things look exceptionally bleak for Henry after that. If King Henry is able to continue producing even low-end RB2 level numbers after this upcoming season, he will truly be a unicorn among unicorns. We literally haven't seen a single age-31+ RB capable of RB1 production since the late 80s. The Ravens would reportedly like to extend Henry but even if they do, the young RB the Ravens draft either this season or next will likely be one of the best stashes in all of Dynasty. But hey, if Lebron can average 25, 8, and 8 at age 40 and Ovechkin can pump out 40-goal seasons at age 39, then why can’t Henry do the impossible? " He looks more impossible every year. He has 2,662 carries good for 21st all time. He has 7 carries fewer than Warrick Dunn at 20th and has 40 more than Ricky Watters at 22nd. However despite the relatively low volume, King Henry is 10th all-time in career rushing yards (sandwiched between Eric Dickerson and Tony Dorsett no offense to Dunn and Watters) and 4th all-time in career rushing tds (sandwiched between Marcus Allen and Adrian Peterson) and keep in mind the recent pass-happy and pass-buffed NFL. He is virtually tied with a few players at 4.9 yards per carry for his career but the only player who even remotely approaches his total rushing attempts with a comparable ypc is the GOAT natural running talent, Barry Sanders, who amazingly had 3,062 career carries for an incredible 15,269 yards and 5.0 ypc. Famously however, Barry never even played an age 31 season as he retired at the age of 30 in 1998 after posting his lowest ypc (4.3) of any season since his age 24 season in 1992 t. Just for comparison (and this is not entirely fair obviously bc Barry had far more "wear and tear" and tread on the tires after prodigious seasons in college and an immediate NFL workload whereas Henry shared workloads in his beginning years in both college and the NFL), Sanders versus Henry both at age 30: 1998, 30 yr old Sanders: 343 carries, 1,491 yards, 4.3 ypc, 4 tds 2024, 30 yr old Henry: 325 carries, 1,921 yards, 5.9 ypc, 16 tds THE outlier of all outliers and posts 1500-1600 yard, 10+ td seasons into his mid 30s. He reached his career high recorded in-game speed (as long as they have been tracked at least) last year at 21.29 mph on an 87 yard td. His highest this year? 21.07 mph on a 59 yard run against the Browns during which he almost outran CORNERBACK Denzel Ward (who ran a 4.32 40 at his combine btw) AFTER breaking two tackles....

AirMcNair09 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 (edited) That 4th quarter was one of the best 4th quarter games I’ve ever seen. Not a surprise Harbaugh just got canned. Henry had almost 120 yards in the first half and then proceeds to get 5 carries in the second half, not a single lesson was learned from the New England loss lol Edited January 6 by AirMcNair09 titanruss, Bongo59, and CreepingDeath 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called him playing well past 30 years ago. It was easy to see given his dedication to his body.
