Exactly right. Henry was never going to be the version the Bills got in week 6 IF they played the Titans again in the playoffs. I don’t want Henry hurt, but nobody can carry the ball as much as he has without becoming worn down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team is going to stack the box for whoever replaces Henry. And Tannehill is not going to thrive without the threat of Henry keeping defenses honest. Jonathan Taylor keeps the defense honest. Ezekiel Elliott keeps the defense honest. Nick Chubb keeps the defense honest. Derrick Henry makes a defense straight up cheat. You can't replace that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have feeling the Titans will still be very tough without Henry. Go watch Tannehill’s tape from Miami and report back to us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Henry that O is a Buick without a motor imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 Wide Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Henry keeps those LBs sucked up close to the line. AJ Brown feasts on medium crossers where the MLB should normally be in his drop. Tannehill struggles working outside the hashes so it's a crusher for that offense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I was just thinking about how likely it seems that Henry will be less of a factor come playoff time, either from acute injury or just from being worn down to the nub. I guess it's happening sooner than I thought. Sucks for him and the Titans, but I still think Tannehill is a gamer and the Titans are a solid team even without Henry. Just not as good as the Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poblano Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Titans were lucky with him during that long, the work load is always dangerous for a RB especially with one heavy and with a punishing style, come on even one with a finesse style didn't last long, also in Tennessee Chris Johnson (i think, actually don't remember the name) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Well now. That sure takes the shine off of the Titans win yesterday. The AFC is so hard to predict right now. Colossal loss for Titans.

For example, 5th Metatarsal Base Fractures are among the most common fractures of the foot and are predisposed to poor healing due to the limited blood supply to the specific areas of the 5th metatarsal base.

And now you have to wonder how well he'll come back from it next year. I really thought he deserved to win it last season. To do what he is doing, head and shoulders above anyone else in that position, and carrying a playoff team. Anyways, yes, I think it was a ticking time bomb, unfortunately.
