Just keep blasting Henry all night
I think it may have sunk in for Lamar and the Ravens that he's no longer the baddest man on that offense.

I was right about Henry's volume the first couple of weeks; you've been right since, and you're probably right going forward.

0-2 vs 2-0 pretty stark contrast in results with the different philosophies.

Obviously they can't win every game by giving him 20+, 25+, it just won't always work that way. And I'm sure eventually they'll lose one where he's featured like that.

But dang it's fun to watch Henry gash holes that aren't filled with two linebackers, and run over DB's

Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said Alexander Mattison “deserves more reps, and he’ll get them.”


People said this for years about him in Minnesota, and once he finally got them he took a big steaming dump on the field.

I will say as the weather gets colder, common sense would say to feed Henry more.

Chiefs have shut down every RB this year so it might not be that stark. Ravens just put a total beatdown on the Bills in all phases so obviously they should keep doing that but I do think matchups matter.

Chargers with the game on the line chose to pass on 4th and 1 instead of run against the Chiefs.

Well the difference is, they didn't even try the run vs the Cheifs, despite never trailing by more than 10.

And all due respect to Dobbins and Gus, they are not Derrick Henry, and they had more attempts than Henry did vs the Cheifs. They didn't get that 4th down did they? Maybe they should've ran

They did lose so certainly they could've changed things up. I'm just saying that stopping running backs has been a strength of KC specifically in the short sample size that is this season. Dallas run D is still probably best described as awful. Bills I think have some LBers injured.

To paraphrase: "We couldn't afford Derrick Henry, but we made Dak the highest paid player in NFL history."

I think awful is an understatement as to the Cowboys D. Pathetic, horrendous, nonexistent.. all acceptable answers

Had that tool extended Dak at the start of free agency (or earlier) they would've had plenty of cash to sign whoever they wanted

He's all in. :pound: :pound: :pound:

"We feel great about what we've been in free agency," Jones said, via team transcript. "All-in. All-in. All-in. We're all-in with these young guys. We're all-in with this draft."

I would be surprised if he plays this season and if he does there will be a risk he gets injured again or isn’t close to 100%
