Dutch Oven Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 So what is the back story regarding TexAg and Henry?
Nero Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 It would have been a blast if you had posted this thread earlier in the 4th quarter and he really fumbled that ball and it was recovered for the winning TD. As much as I like Henry, I don't like the Titans as a playoff team. I'd rather see the Bills.

I pushed like mad to get the Browns to take him and people here kept trying to tell me he was too slow and obviously he is not only fast, but powerful to boot which is what I was saying all along. And we have the visionless Crow instead of a back like Henry. Bunch of f'n idiots in our FO.
Nero Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 Just now, Orion said: Henry & Mariotta did a great job! You gotta love that block by Mariota to allow Henry to get the final first down. That will go into the highlight reel!
TexasAg1969 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Posted January 7, 2018 The sad thing is now we won't even be able to trade for him or get him in FA. F-U-C-K!
jcam222 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 He should have been the full time starter all year. That's been apparent for quite awhile.

Man, if Crowell wasn't blind he'd average 7 yards a carry!

Man, if Crowell wasn't blind he'd average 7 yards a carry! Titans have finally discovered the secret to Henry out of necessity. Run him all game and he pays off big time in the 4th Q. No one can stop a back that big and that fast when he is running even stronger in the 4th than he does in the first. His game has always been that way. He wears down defenses and then runs over and away from them. Plus he has vision which Crow has never had. EDIT: Earl Campbell was a similar kind of back except he did not have Henry's top end speed once he clears the LBs. EDIT #2: Most do not know that there was a RB in Texas named Kenneth Hall, nicknamed The Sugarland Express, who set a career HS rushing record of 11,232 yards in 1953. That record stood until 2012 when Henry reset the record with 12,124 yards. He also broke Herschel Walker's single season SEC rushing record while playing for Alabama. And the Browns passed on him twice for Coleman and Ogbah. And that is why this FO is a bunch of idiots.

How is that even possible? A kid who went to my HS ran for around 6500 yards in his career in the late 90s and I thought that was pretty amazing.
wargograw Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 He’s been mediocre most of his career so far. Are we gonna get this after every game?

That is because the Titans have been too in love with Murray to use Henry properly, as the workhorse all game long who will wear you down and crush you in the 4th quarter. I've been very consistent about that since I first started trying to get the Browns to take him in the draft. This time Murray was out so they used him properly. And since he has been there he should at least have been used in short yardage situations late in games. Just did not happen consistently. 2 hours ago, Furious Styles said: Thank you ! I did not say Earl did not have top end speed. I said he did not have Henry's top end speed. There is a difference IMO.

Hali and Johnson are done. Zombo is a jagoff. Houston is always hurt. Marcus Peters hates to tackle so you run straight at him. Revis is a ghost of his former self. Valid points. But you also have a big back with speed making them afraid to take on 250 lbs of speed that likes to run right through people who attempt to make a head on tackle and stiff arm to the ground those that try to take him from angles instead. My point has always been that we ended up not taking a guy who was projected late 1st early second that we really needed. He was BPA and we passed.

He came to Alabama from Florida where he broke that national record. BTW on that 35 yd. TD run he hit a max speed of 20.31 mph. For 250 lbs that's not slow like detractors here were trying to tell me back before he was drafted. He is deceptively faster than he appears to be, not unlike those long strides even faster Eric Dickerson used to display.

Perhaps what detractors were meaning by "slow" is big guys like Henry take a while to get up to 20.31 mph? That he might have good max speed, but because of his size he takes a bit to get going?

That he might have good max speed, but because of his size he takes a bit to get going? You'd have to ask them. I provided the videos back then showing how fast he was accelerating past and then leaving behind DBs. They frequently misjudged that speed because of the long strides and then took improper cutoff angles. Once they missed that rarely was he ever caught from behind. EDIT: One of the videos I provided back then before the draft. Fast to accelerate or not?
dawg2fan Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 I can't hate on Derrick, even though he cost me $1830 on Sportsbetting (8 teamer) parlay by running the ball for a TD with only a few seconds left.

You're slipping. BTW it's taken the Titans 2 years to figure out what Saban knew from day 1, he had a dominating force in the running game that could set up the rest of the offense if you play him all game long. Had Murray not gotten hurt they still would not have understood that. Play him all game and he pays off in the 4th Q. Always been that kind of player. He's an offensive punisher of defenses. Hopefully they still haven't learned that and leave him out for a good price in FA. May Murray quickly recover.
RoyceRolls Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 So Henry just needs to get a lot of touches to be effective? It’s a shame that he didn’t get to play for a guy dedicated to running the ball like Hue Jackson

cdl15 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 Not bad for the 4th or 5th best RB in Tennessee's division.
