@SteelersPride still going to try to act like it was a bad contract?

On his way to the greatest season ever for a RB 2 years into his 4 year deal that didn't even gave him close to being the top paid RB in the league.
Ill actually have some balls and say hes been unreal. Clearly wrong on my part.

No one worried about henry and falling off a cliff. I know hes built like a brick house. But man........holy touches. We know about the 300 touch curse...hes beat that thus far. Also been some analysis that the 1800 carry mark in the pros is the unbeatable one as of now, guys hit this and just continue to decline sharply. Back to back 300 carry season, and this one was 378 and 19 receptions, 3 short of 400.

College:
602 rushes, 17 receptions=619 total

Pro:
1182 carries, 76 receptions=1258 total

Just increasing usage yearly......crazy.

There was a great story on Henry in high school that I saw.

His high school stats:
Carries: 462
Yards: 4261
TD's: 55

That is a great career right? Well that isn't his high school career.....that is his Senior season ONLY.

His high school career:
Carries: 1397
Yards: 12,124
TD's: 153

Now THAT is a high school career!

I still think on average what the Browns did in signing a tackle and 2 RBs is a smarter way to go about things but obviously the Henry deal has worked out.

I think almost every single other instance of someone investing in an RB has backfired recently, though

IIRC Derrick Henry was #1 in college with his SPARQ score and thats across all positions.

I'm looking right now and it was 141.87. Aaron Donald was 138.1. Ezekiall Elliott was 118.11 and Alvin Kamara's was 116.13 for reference.

Let's all stop pretending we don't know that Derrick Henry was injected with the T-Virus at a young age....

I went to pitt and used go to alot of games. I had already graduated… but his last season…i was right behind the pitt bench. i remember one game they were up big …and donald kept beating triple teams and was laughing every play, shaking gis head, kept coming back to the sidelines saying this is too easy….he was just so good.

Yeah I think he should be leading candidate for MVP, he arguably means more to a team than any other player. Tanny is just a game manger imo

Obviously it is way too early to be thinking that way but.......

Tenn has a lot of cupcake defenses on the schedule the rest of the way too:
Texans twice, KC, Jacksonville, Miami.

And even the good defenses they face like the Steelers and Rams are only top defenses because of how they defend the pass not the run.

Was looking at the same...

Bills were a top top 5 rush defense going into game (now #7 at 89 yards/game) and Henry got 143 yards.

To break the record will need to stay healthy and have a couple of monster games as there will be a couple of teams that will limit him better.
