Im 6'1 190. Doesn't make me Calvin Ridley :lol:

Qadree had 4 TDs in 6 games on 22 carries, Henry’s rookie year he had 5 TDs in 15 games on 110 carries, 2nd season had 5 TDs in 16 games on 176 carries. Parallel so far

Henry is just a unicorn. A man that big shouldn’t be that quick and fast. When he gets into the open field, he can run with anyone. Seeing Peters catch him tonight surprised me. 

He’s the best back in the league right now IMO

What nobody seems to understand is that the offensive line has to create holes for big guys like Derrick Henry.  He is not avoiding guys in the backfield.  He is great right now because many times during the game he gets to the second level untouched.  It is very hard to tackle a a 260 pound man that is running at 4.5 speed.  

But on the Falcons he would barely ever get up to that 4.5 speed.  He'd be more like Fournette on the Jags if he played on our team.

I don't know if he is the best back, but I do think he is the back that fits absolutely perfectly with his scheme, his line and what the team wants to do.  He mirrors their mentality perfectly and it's extremely fun to watch.

Fournette is a similar runner, just slightly smaller and faster...they are both momentum runners, not going to do a lot of work side to side, but are great off guard and tackle with a head of steam.

Hes alot like Sjax in his prime.. Both run straight up and both will break tackles if you come at them with your arms.. We just got Sjax too late, he was worr out when he came to Atl

Okay we will call it a draw

 

I promise you, Henry is taller than 6-3..dont trust those numbers always posted in bios.. I wouldn't even trust the numbers posted in the combines for bio stats.. Henry is ever bit of 6-5..im 6-3 and his last year of college i stood next to him, he definitely was a few inches taller than me
