    EG was a fan favorite but slightly overrated if we're talking about talent wise. He was a good player, but never elite nor dominant. His toughness overshadowed his skill.

    The rest of the team is down also. From OL to not a single other threat on the field .. 1300 yards and 12 TDs is still a pretty damn good season so far. That 4 game stretch before the Jax game really put a damper on his stats.

    Let's say he ends with ~1600 yards and 15 TDs. That would be an awesome complement to the passing game if the Titans had one.

    Henry could end the season with 1500 yds rushing and 500 yds receiving. Dude has turned into a bizarro McCaffery.

    Henry has the highest yards per reception this year for a running back and has caught 79 percent of passes thrown his way. CMC has caught 80 percent of passes thrown his way.

    It kills me that they dont use him even more often in the passing game. Especially now that he seems to have lost a step, we need to get him in open field so he can do what he does.

    CMC receptions 74 vs. Henry's 30. And cmc runs actual routes, not just screens.

    Henry has been good at the screen game, I still don't think the comparison to CMC is a fair one.

    I’m not saying Henry is going to Moss anyone but just from the eye test, Henry is dangerous with any kind of open space. Those 5 yard dump offs Tanny throw to him usually turn into big gains, we need to utilize that more especially when your number 1 receiver right now is Robert Woods. Chig needs to be involved more too, just like Henry, it’s going to be a big gain when they touch the ball in any kind of open space.

    I wonder if Henry is going to buy all of his OL a watch for Xmas like he traditionally does.

    Of course he will. He won't break tradition. I would guess a Casio Calculator watch this year.
