cashvillesent 410 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 We're witnessing hall of fame level / all time great caliber rushing from Derrick at the moment. Please do not take it for granted. He should be in MVP conversations. Link to post Share on other sites

His style of running through people rather than around them hasn't been applied so effectively for generations. You really have to go back to Campbell and Dickerson to find guys that really fit that description so thoroughly. Henry doesn't run with quite the tenacity of those guys or display the incredible vision and balance that they did, but he arguably has a stronger burst and top-end speed. In that regard, he's sort of a modern hyrbrid combining the physicality of a bygone era with the rare size/speed combination that today's scouting departments drool over: He can both run you over and fly past you. A rare breed, indeed. Generations? And he is the least power back of power backs he punishes defenders but he isn't trucking people like the backs you a talking about from generations ago. You show you never watched the others live, only on YouTube highlights. I am old enough to have watched all but Jim Brown. Earl would run through you but had the speed to outrun 95% of the players. Eric and Walter would lower their shoulder if they had to, but could more easily run around you. DHenry uses his stiff arm to knock people off instead of lowering his shoulder.

DerrickHenrysCleats 6,022 Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Derrick Henry has piled up 1,121 rushing yards in his last 8 road games Since the 1970 merger, only hall of famers Eric Dickerson & Earl Campbell had more rush yards in an 8-game span of road contests https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/crown-the-king-derrick-henry-mvp-tennessee-titans 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DerrickHenrysCleats 6,022 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 When Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill last addressed the workload of running back Derrick Henry, Tannehill said the then-recent reduction in Henry’s touches had happened by design. After Sunday’s 27-carry performance for Henry against the Colts, which followed last Sunday’s 28-carry day for Henry against the Ravens, I asked Tannehill when and why the plans apparently changed. “I don’t know,” Tannehill said. “That’s probably a question for Coach Vrabel or [offensive coordinator] Arthur [Smith], but Derrick’s been rolling. As we get down the stretch here into games that really matter in January, we need Derrick to roll. I think obviously it’s important for us to keep him going and that’s what we’re gonna do.” I like Tannehill but he is either not very smart or he just does not know how to handle the media. Just a couple weeks ago he flat out said that WE have reduced Henrys workload by design, meaning himself included. I opined that he was speaking more like a coach than a QB and should focus on doing his own job better. After Henry gets 25+ touches in back to back rumbling victories when asked about it Tannehill says he doesn't know, have to ask Vrabel or Arthur Smith about that. I'd expect Tannehill to be more professional in his interviews. He came across arrogant,cocky, and ignorant by saying Henrys reduced workload was by design. I'd think Tannehill would be a tad more grateful to Henry for reviving his career. Tannehill could have easily said that in our willingness to keep Henry fresher for later in the season we kinda shared his workload and lost a few games and we need to get back to our identity of featuring Henry and letting him do what he does best. Much more appropriate than the route he decided to take and now for people paying attention he looks to be backpedaling fast now that Henry has ran them to back to back victories.

Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, regardless I’m in 100% agreement. Tannehill seems like a good dude like you said not the most articulate guy. I think he got himself gassed up a little bit I don’t care how pretty his stats are the last season or two he’s still just a “good” game manager. He has a very good coach, beast RB, and a WR who takes his 10 yard passes 70 yards. He may have one of the easiest jobs in the NFL Edited December 1, 2020 by CroNY 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm nitpicking but I follow a lot of it and when the Titans were courting Tom Brady Henry said why not Ryan Tannehill? When Henry was asked about himself for MVP Henry said why not Tannehill? When Tannehill was asked about Henry he said WE are reducing his workload by design and they lose all those games. When Henry comes back and wins 2 games for them to stop the losing streak with huge workloads then when asked about it Tannehill says I don't know, go ask the coaches. Lol.

Not sure how the tie-breakers (other than head-to-head) break down but the Titans are still vying with the Colts for their division. The wildcard spots look quite competitive too in the AFC so I'm not sure the Titans are in a spot where they can afford to let off the gas right now. Link to post Share on other sites
