Not Barry Sanders

so one running back, arguably the best of all-time, rfutes the argument that most running backs are worse on worse teams? And why does Barry Sanders always seem to enter the conversation when good running backs are discussed? If Barry Sanders is the base-line, almost any running back who has ever played will fall short.

Henry has some Lynch in him. Bigger, less wiggle and speed, but bulldozes like him. You don’t want him running at you at all, especially late in games.

I liken him more to Brandon Jacobs with elite speed. It's really not fair how big and strong he is while being able to run away from people. He's a freak

You have to take those stats with the mind most Ds are built to stop the pass first in today’s NFL.

Which is why the Ravens rolled up 200/game.

Why is there a concerted effort from someone to try to tear a guy down whenever they're doing well?

Now that people are done with Lamar Jackson it's on to Derrick Henry? Sheesh.

What would you call someone who doesn’t know what Gilbert Grape is?

Would you say “bumfrick uncultured redneck”

Most would....

Gilbert Grape wasn’t the retard in that movie.

That didn’t go quite how you thought it would, did it?
