[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 901560, member: 9033"] I'm sorry, but 4.9 yards per carry isn't that great (it's not bad, it's just not exceptional). He wasn't carrying the offense, the Titans were the 27th ranked scoring offense in the NFL in 2018. I'm not the one ignoring the paper. Henry is a good running back who can carry the ball a LOT and not see his efficiency fall. I don't value being able to hand the ball to a guy 378 times like they did last year as much as giving Aaron Rodgers 100 extra chances to throw the ball. In 2018 there were 9 running backs who ran for over 1,000 yards and 3 others that were 27 or fewer yards away from 1,000. At no point have I said Henry isn't good, in fact I specifically pointed out that he was good to try and avoid this very thing. Some fans long for the days of the workhorse, pound-the-rock running back. I prefer to take advantage of the modern NFL's emphasis on making the passing game easier, especially when you have a top-5 QB, top-5 WR, and top-5 pass-blocking oline. It's all preference. I too enjoy Henry burying defenders with a stiff arm. I just also enjoy a beautifully thrown pass. [/QUOTE]
