I still don’t think Derrick Henry is in shape

Derrick always takes a couple weeks to get the tread going in some regard.

Most RBs would kill to get 103 yards rushing -- especially in nowadays offensive production, where from the running game everything is done by 2-3 different backs.

I'd call a 103, 2 TDs a very good day --- but what's even better, he's standing out in the passing game a bit --- and not just screens --- he caught that RB option route while he was being shadowed and got to the one on a scoring drive.

Our priorities and focus should be OL and WR in that order.

 

radio said DH22 never averaged 4.0 is september

I might have misunderstoond Mike Keith though

 

His vision and footwork looks really good the last few weeks. And he is running hard and falling forward.

It looks like he has maybe lost some top end.

 

Personally I think that the fact Henry is such a workout warrior type that he packs on muscle and weight in the off-season. Then as the season goes on he has to change his workouts obviously, hence he starts to shed some weight throughout the season that's why he gets better over time. Someone said he looks like he's lost some top end speed, give it till mid October and you will start to see the big runs again.

 

He definitely is looking like the old Henry again. He is breaking tackles and his shiftiness has been very impressive. With such a limited pass attack (not much blame for Tannehill; he has actually played quite well despite the circumstances), we are very dependent on Henry staying healthy and productive.

 

I was thinking it appears he doesn't have the burst he used to watching the game.

He's obviously still a very good back, but I think we're at the beginning of the downslope.

 

playoff Tannehill is when the interceptions start

 

This o line is hot trash. There is no opening in the a or b gap every down pretty much. Didn't watch game 5 cause I'm in Turkey but week 1-4 was Henry slamming into a guard to get something outta nothing. Also teams swarm the outside to keep Henry in the middle so he doesn't get his classic breakaway. The fact we can't design run blocking plays for our best player to make a play frustrates me.

 

These games aren't big enough for Tannehill to choke
