That's bc he wears the defense down and no one wants to tackle him as the game wears on. He puts a lot of quit in them.

It's going to be interesting to see it Tennessee gives him a long term deal after this season. History is not kind to RBs who have 350+ carries in a season.

Because cook gets roughly 30% of his yards from receiving, so your little stat seems kinda pointless



Henry has 18 catches for 206 yds (11.4 ypc) and 2 TD's.

Cook has 53 catches for 519 yds (9.7 ypc) and 0 TD's.

So like I said cook gets a lot more receiving yards than Henry, AND more total yards per game

Never thought a Gump would admit that

Why the hate for Henry???? This whole thread you have NOT given him any credit for what he's done. I agree CMAC is the best overall back but what Henry has done is Earl Campbell like.

I am calling Henry the third best running back in the nfl

How exactly is that “hating” him? The guy has been fantastic this season. Don’t be as dumb as the Bama fans peej

I'm not. I just think you don't like him because he went to Bama. He is rocking right now. Give him some credit.

I mean would you like me to drive to Derricks house and tell him good job? Exactly what would you and Reauxl like me to do in order to show him his credit? The guy is playing fantastic football

Please send him is credit for me. Maybe tweet it at him? Is he on the Twitter?

And the little guy has been the better nfl back(in totality)

Ingram is a fricking hoss and it pisses me off his agent fricked everything up for him and the saints

It's tough to compare guys like Henry and McCaffrey. It's like they play different positions at times.

You don’t want the guy who averaged 33 more yrds a game?


Maybe. Is he also the guy who no one wants to tackle in the 4th in January?

I’d take Henry over every other back in the league save for Dairy Sanders, with all other factors being equal.
