        It would have been a blast if you had posted this thread earlier in the 4th quarter and he really fumbled that ball and it was recovered for the winning TD. 

        As much as I like Henry, I don't like the Titans as a playoff team. I'd rather see the Bills.

          Ask Tour. I pushed like mad to get the Browns to take him and people here kept trying to tell me he was too slow and obviously he is not only fast, but powerful to boot which is what I was saying all along. And we have the visionless Crow instead of a back like Henry. Bunch of f'n idiots in our FO.

            Henry & Mariotta did a great job!

            BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE

              You gotta love that block by Mariota to allow Henry to get the final first down. That will go into the highlight reel!

                The sad thing is now we won't even be able to trade for him or get him in FA. F-U-C-K!

                  He should have been the full time starter all year. That's been apparent for quite awhile.

                    But Crow has a higher yards per carry over the last two seasons than Henry.

                    Man, if Crowell wasn't blind he'd average 7 yards a carry! 😆

                      Titans have finally discovered the secret to Henry out of necessity. Run him all game and he pays off big time in the 4th Q. No one can stop a back that big and that fast when he is running even stronger in the 4th than he does in the first. His game has always been that way. He wears down defenses and then runs over and away from them. Plus he has vision which Crow has never had.

                      EDIT: Earl Campbell was a similar kind of back except he did not have Henry's top end speed once he clears the LBs.

                      EDIT #2: Most do not know that there was a RB in Texas named Kenneth Hall, nicknamed The Sugarland Express, who set a career HS rushing record of 11,232 yards in 1953. That record stood until 2012 when Henry reset the record with 12,124 yards. He also broke Herschel Walker's single season SEC rushing record while playing for Alabama. And the Browns passed on him twice for Coleman and Ogbah. And that is why this FO is a bunch of idiots.

                            Henry ran for over 12,000+ yards in his HS career? Sweet 8lb, 6oz baby Jesus! How is that even possible?

                            A kid who went to my HS ran for around 6500 yards in his career in the late 90s and I thought that was pretty amazing.

                              He’s been mediocre most of his career so far. Are we gonna get this after every game?

                                  That is because the Titans have been too in love with Murray to use Henry properly, as the workhorse all game long who will wear you down and crush you in the 4th quarter. I've been very consistent about that since I first started trying to get the Browns to take him in the draft. This time Murray was out so they used him properly. And since he has been there he should at least have been used in short yardage situations late in games. Just did not happen consistently.

                                  I did not say Earl did not have top end speed. I said he did not have Henry's top end speed. There is a difference IMO.

                                    The Chiefs D sucks vs the run and they have crusty old LBs. Hali and Johnson are done. Zombo is a jagoff. Houston is always hurt. Marcus Peters hates to tackle so you run straight at him. Revis is a ghost of his former self. 

                                    Valid points. But you also have a big back with speed making them afraid to take on 250 lbs of speed that likes to run right through people who attempt to make a head on tackle and stiff arm to the ground those that try to take him from angles instead. My point has always been that we ended up not taking a guy who was projected late 1st early second that we really needed. He was BPA and we passed.

                                      Texas is a football factory no doubt.

                                      Texas? He came to Alabama from Florida where he broke that national record. BTW on that 35 yd. TD run he hit a max speed of 20.31 mph. For 250 lbs that's not slow like detractors here were trying to tell me back before he was drafted. He is deceptively faster than he appears to be, not unlike those long strides even faster Eric Dickerson used to display.

                                        Perhaps what detractors were meaning by "slow" is big guys like Henry take a while to get up to 20.31 mph? That he might have good max speed, but because of his size he takes a bit to get going?

                                          You'd have to ask them. I provided the videos back then showing how fast he was accelerating past and then leaving behind DBs. They frequently misjudged that speed because of the long strides and then took improper cutoff angles. Once they missed that rarely was he ever caught from behind.

                                          EDIT: One of the videos I provided back then before the draft. Fast to accelerate or not?
