Derrick Henry Appreciation Thread

I feel i needed to update this.

I really appreciate Henry.

 

Thank god tannehill leading us to all these victories amirite fairies

 

It also ain’t their money...

 

You forgot Earl Cambell...this Franchise goes back farther than 1997. He very well could pass Earl, but he hasn’t yet.

 

In todays nfl, its usually a bad decision to sign rb on huge contracts. I thought the cowboys were crazy to extend elliot when Tony Pollard was the hottest rb in the game during preseason. Plus elliot is a thug. But henry is a different guy. Class guy. Good in the community. Hard worker. But he is the one back in the league that can impose his will at the end of games. Hes a unicorn. Pay the man what it takes!

 

Henry reminds me a bit of earl campbell. Surpringly fast for a big guy who can take over games at the end

 

Henry's gonna get paid, and deservedly so. He's already played himself into Titans’ lore. Now he has the opportunity to solidify that place in franchise history. The question now is how much he gets paid and by whom? In a perfect world, they keep him along with the core of this group, than add a better complimentary back. Even the great Derrick Henry is human. We don't need him worn to nothing in a year, or two.

 

I have been a little hesitant to pay a running back big money too, but Henry is a different beast. He is literally carrying this offense through the playoffs.

He is laying the groundwork for a Hall of Fame career and we’d be crazy to get rid of him. No way we win the past two game without him. In a passing league, we’ve only had to pass for 150-160 yards the past two weeks to beat the leagues best teams. That doesn’t happen without Henry.

He also doesn’t strike me as the kind of person that will roll over after a big contract. He’s a blue collar, hard nose type a guy who wants to be great and wants to win. Pay the man!!

 

Instead of beast mode, he's in King mode.

 

Just not as physical as Cambell—doesn’t really run over and through people as much...but he will last a lot longer because of it.
