Derek Henry as a Raven

This should prove to be a short thread conversation. Just curious your thoughts.

I get to watch the Titans on my local feed every week. I have felt for a while that Henry was being used incorrectly in that offense. Maybe the same can be said of Najee Harris with the Steelers, Henry is only slightly bigger than Harris. I think the Ravens should use Henry more in their passing game. Get a big RB moving and get him the ball in space where he's tougher to bring down due to his power and open field agility.

Just running a guy that takes a few strides to get up to full speed straight into the line seems wasteful to me. I'm not talking short yardage/goal-line plays, I only mean in the general offense.

(Yes, I know, F the Ravens.)

 

All I care about is shutting his a$$ down

 

He spends $250,000/yr on body maintenance
Ranked 2nd behind CMAC going into season

 

TBH, I'm worried.

 

If they only use him in their power run game I am not that worried. Him getting the ball 10-15 yards downfield and asking our DBs to tackle him is a bit concerning. Then he becomes another Mark Andrews.

 

Scares the hell out of me giving last year's #1 rushing attack King Henry.

But, they still have the same OC as last year, who decided it was a good idea to give his RBs 3 carries each in the playoff game against the Chiefs. (If you are wondering Gus Edwards had 3 carries for 20 yards, or 6.67 average)

 

Think you put it in wrong thread but we got a 4-0 lead going to ninth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Game!!!!!

How much bigger can this damn thing get? Great picture, more fans than I thought would be at a Pirate game an hour (59:03) before it starts.

 

This. This year the Ravens don't have that stable of RBs like last season. At least they have a bunch of guys I don't know about or really heard of. Hill was a guy that some scouts really liked and other scouts didn't think could make a pro roster. I didn't watch much 'Pokes football so I don't know.

I definitely thought the Ravens should have been a run first team last season. This season I just don't know. I do believe if they just let LJ stand there and play pocket passer that offense is more likely to suck.

 

I mean why put the ball in the hands of the so called MVP right??? LoL.
We both know if they had got a good lead on KC they would have run more,,but they thought they could catch KC napping, and come out throwing.....problem is....the Qb isn't built for that.

 

Their OC was very good for them last season...This is just,he had a awful game vs KC

 

They led the league in rushing yards and rushing attempts....the game against the Chiefs was not the norm for them...it was just inexplicable that they forgot to run the ball with their running back more....If Henry has something left in the tank,their running game will be harder to stop with him and Lamar

 

I noticed the 3rd guy on the hose looks to have ruptured a disc and the last guy pulled a hammy!?!?!?!?


ADDED:

DO THEY NOT GIVE THESE GUYS PHYSICALS?????

 

I remember reading or hearing at the end of last season that the Ravens averaged 5yards per run play for the season, and only 8yards per pass play for the season. That's a crazy stat to me.

 

8 yards per pass play is a lot and it was not 8 yards per pass play but they were still in the top 5 in this stats vs 3rd for the run.Great in both
