Good call. In redraft, I’d hitch my wagon to the known stud over the “what could hopefully be” rookie. and it’s not like either are on offense juggernaut teams.

He just needed the final piece, the new bionic toe.

Being in a committee his first 2 seasons and missing half of 2021 have hurt his total yardage and TDs a bit, but that could mean he has another 5 years in the tank. He has absolutely crushed since 2019 though with 2 rushing titles including a 2000 yard season, was on pace for 2000 last year when he went down, and is on pace to be the rushing leader and sniff 2000 yards this season.
All 75 Henry TDs
He certainly passes the eye test. He has 13 TDs over 50 yards, 9 of those are over 70 yards, including a 95 yard against the Texans and that 99 yard TD against the Jags. His size and speed are crazy. Hopefully he is able to stay healthy and pound out another 5 solid seasons, add another rushing title, and maybe get a ring so that there is no question as to whether he gets in.

Q with foot? Uh oh. Which foot?

I suspect it was just a rest day for Henry and they needed something to put down on the practice report.
Henry vs Texans Mic'd Up
Watching him run is like watching a ballerina crossed with a bulldozer. I like these mic'd up videos because you get a glimpse of the player's personality. Henry comes across as a humble leader. Really hope he carries the Titans to a championship in the next few years.

On the Thursday injury report Henry was listed as a rest day.

He's not done. So we'll have to see what he accomplishes from here.

Yeah, easy to forget his first 3 seasons the coaches thought it best he split time so his career numbers are quite low overall. Mularkey was playing washed up Demarco Murray over him, even Vrabel gave Dion Lewis a ton of work his first year as head coach.

Henry is the entire offense. Everything else works (or has a chance of working) because defenses have to account for him. His success in the RZ is irreplaceable. If they actually had more firepower on offense they win that game last night in regulation.

It was so painful seeing him sit on the bench for all those 4th quarter minutes.

Agreed. If Tannehill played they win that game... maybe handily.
Plying QB in the NFL likes like a bridge too far for Malik Willis. He's not even up to a "back-up" role yet.

I like that he wears the red sleeves. Not that he's that hard to track.
After the foot thing last year I’d prefer to never see Henry and boot in the same sentence again! He’s got some smash spots coming up, time to feast.

Matchups weeks 15&16 look solid for playoff time.
Passing CJ for third on Titans all time rushing list.
Hit multiple times right when he got the ball, even more in the backfield and he gets over 100. Not to mention the lack of a passing threat around.
People characterizing his demise on if he makes people miss haven't watched his career.
There isn't a back in the NFL that would have had 100+ under that circumstance.
That was one tough game and so much smash mouth style. Jags beat the Titans by 50 if not for Henry. Their D was "this close" to so many big plays and key plays. The Titans line was horrendous and the acting GM cut his FB last week too. Such a OMG you're a beast game by him.

No running back more important to his team than Mr. Henry

Give me TDs or give me death.
112? yards in the first half and he finished with like 130- when he has a string of 200 yard games against the opponent AND they're not really letting the rookie QB throw. What a ridiculous halftime gameplan adjustment!
Titans OC Downing had been rumored to be on his way out and...oof did he seal his fate this weekend.

Been thinking lately how everyone has Henry slowing down and discussing him nearing or heading towards the end of his career etc.
I think y'all are a little crazy with this. He's been 1st-3rd in the NFL in rushing all year. Behind a bad OL, He's putting up 100 yard days regularly and when he doesn't he is getting 60-80 yards receiving.
My Q really is who are you comparing him to to have this negativity? Last summer was Taylor and a few Najee fans- he's far better than them this year.
I want to say Chubb here because he doesn't get the love either. He's like assumed greatness people take for granted. Henry's been ahead of him, then neck n neck...
He has "never" fumbled and this year six or so. He got caught from behind a few times. What else? The Titans are playing linemen they couldn't trade, UDFAs, later picks, and castoffs and....
I hope next year all your collective negativity will allow me to finally land Henry on an FF team

The problem is, when an RB gets "old", he gets old fast. Yeah, Henry might still have some left in the tank. Maybe enough for a top 10 finish in 2023. Or he could start to hit the cliff halfway through next season. But if you're in keeper/dynasty... you have to be looking at moving him for your next 3/4 year stud while he can still get you that kind of value.

Henry is just part human, he’s a cyborg.
Also, it’s “a”, not “an” RB
If next word starts with a vowel it would be “an”.

If we’re gonna be pedantic It’s actually more based on the sound than the letter, so it depends whether you’re writing to be pronounced “are-bee” (which would get an ‘an’) or “running back” (which would get an ‘a’)
In any event, the problem with “just sell him and get a next 3-4 year stud” logic is nobody’s giving you a comparable younger back. If you have a glut at RB or you’re in a rebuild and want to sell him off for the best pick you can get I get it but if you had a foster he belonged on in the first place it’s hard to stomach the weekly points downgrade you’d be eating. Like who are we really trading him for?

it’s whether the following word starts with a vowel or not. If the following word starts with a vowel, it would be “an apple“, or “an igloo“, or “an expert” , or “an ox“. If following word doesn’t start with a vowel it would be “a running back”, ”a beast”, ”a truck”.Henry is just part human, he’s a cyborg.

Edited both have some truth. But in this case it is a running back, not an running back. See definition in post below..
For example, the word hour begins with the consonant h. But the h is silent, so the word has a vowel sound. Hence:
The rule works the other way as well. Take the word university. It begins with the vowelu. But the u is pronounced as if it begins with the consonant y. Hence:
But consider the word umbrella, also starting with u. It starts with the vowel sound uh. Hence:
Another vowel with a consonant sound is o. When spoken, the letter can sound as if it beginswith the consonant w. Thus, we use the a:
Articles with Words Beginning with ‘h,’ a or an
The consonant giving us the most trouble is probably h. When the h begins a word and the first syllable is strongly pronounced, you should use a.
But when the beginning h is weakly pronounced (historic, habitual), you may use an, especially in British English.

Or someone is a/an FBI agent?
