Derrick Henry MVP

Eddie George was a ****ing lion, and my hero!

 

1 yard gain and forward progress immediately stopped on contact.

 

You missed the part that mattered! Can’t coach you up on that

 

The biggest issue with Eddie are his numbers from 2001-2004 where his best season was 2002 (343 att, 1165 yards 3.4 ypc and 12 TD). In addition his career ypc is 3.6 on over 2800 rushes and he only averaged over 4 ypc twice in his career

People forget that he had 400 carries in 2000 alone. The only season that Eddie had less than 300 carries was his final season in Dallas.

The man was a warrior, but Fisher ran Eddie into the ground. Ultimately, I think it's Fisher's overreliance on Eddie that probably keeps Eddie out of the HOF because his yardage can simply be attributed to the sheer number of carries he received year in and year out by many fans and HOF voters.

If Fisher had opened up the passing game years earlier, then Eddie's numbers would probably have been better and he may have lasted a few more seasons

 

The part that mattered? You mean where the defender did his job and the ball carrier was stopped for almost no gain? Lol

 

Won that game 20-17 on the road.

 

Eddie was great! Not many running backs would return to a game with a dislocated shoulder these days! Also wasn’t it Eddie that criticized Henrys play which led to him all of a sudden catching fire and not really slowing down since?

 

Yes

 

Yes Henry was on the trading block before Eddie lit that fire in his ass
