The mental image I have of me trying to tackle him :flabbynsick:

I’m 6’2” 2 something but he would run right thru me. I’d rather take the stiff arm.

What’s crazy about Derrick Henry is he’s probably the last HOF RB we will ever see.

With the way the position is trending and how short their lifespan is, we will probably never see a HOF worthy RB again.
I can't think of a worse time to say this than now

QBs are out here STRUGGLING. Running has already had a resurgence recently

I think you missed the point....

Running has had a resurgence sure, but looooooong gone are the days when a team was built around a specific RB. These dudes are literally all interchangeable and replaceable now. Even the ultra talented young franchise RBs like Breece and Bijan are in splits/RBBC

I doubt we see another RB have the sustained success Derrick Henry had as the main guy. And even he might not make the HOF to be honest. These RBs are never going to put up the stats needed to get into the HOF because they will be replaced in their late 20s and probably be splitting touches most of their career.

I’m around the same height and weight as him (6’4 245 lbs) but I’m not a professionally trained athlete… :sadcam:

Honestly, I would have considered that a few years ago, but it seems like the running game is making its way back. QB's aren't all having these massive games every week.

I think we see a resurgence in the HB position.
Exactly was listening to some pod talking about how the game is getting more analytical.

Fewest touch downs ever, highest completion % ever.
Few people are throwing shyt down the stretch anymore, just these damn 4 yard advances, taking teams a full quarter to get to the red zone :yawn:

But with that, it still stands that the spread between a solid 6 year veteran RB and top guys coming outta college has tightened a lot. Almost inverted.

The way NFL pay is structured is that you will peak after your rookie contract, but for your average RB it should almost be the opposite.
So basically they pay peanuts on the dollar for dudes who will have fallen off when they are allowed to get paid what "they should've" been paid if rookie contracts didn't exist.

I had a unfortunate habit of hurting ball barriers when I played ball.

I don't think I can tackle Henry...

But I'll say this, ANY and EVERY man will fall if you hit that lower leg right and with good timing. It's all about angles.

He's the type of player you gotta tackle from behind like how dudes sneak up on their women from behind when they're in the kitchen.

Those " hey good lookin', whatchu got cookin" tackles.


I swear I said that shyt on here before. At least I hope it was on here. God, I hope I ain't say that shyt in real life:snoop:
