Big difference in a 200 lb back vs a 240 lb back. One can take a beating more than the other.
People overreact to the top 5 RB’s and their contracts. Gurley had knee problems dating back to college knew it was a matter of time til they were done. Bell was on a terrible team with a HC who can’t utilize RB’s. David Johnson was the most overrated RB in the NFL. He’s got ONE 1,000 yard season. And Zeke ran for 1,300 yards this year lol he didn’t have a bad season at all.
Listed at 247lbs, supposedly actually more according to some who actually know him.
Imagine if Dallas utilized Zeke appropriately?
On a scale of 1-10 Nate Burleson said 100 Henry should be back to TN
Even more of a reason he can take hits and handle a bigger workload than CJ.
I mean Dallas offense wasn't the problem last year. That was one of the best most balanced offenses in the NFL.
Balanced offense doesn't equal good. They should've gone more run heavy with their best player.
Were the Titans a balanced offense in the playoffs?
Normally the titans are the closest thing to "balance" in the NFL.
Good thing we went with what works, then.
He was saying over the last year the titans are roughly 50/50.
Zeke had 2 fewer carries than Derrick Henry in the regular season.
The Cowboys offense was very good last season.
And we went most successful this year, and into the playoffs as primary running.
I know what he was saying, and what I said is also true.
It could've been better if they had gone through their best player.
They were good, but... in a division with Washington, NY and Philadelphia, they couldn't get into the playoffs.
They didn't fully utilize their best weapon.
David Johson had 2118 total yards and 20 TDs the year before he got paid. Hard to call that overrated.
It's better than Henry's 1746 yards and 18 TDs this year...
If you want to pay Henry top dollar now, you wouldve done the exact same for David Johnson back then.
They didn’t get in because of their defense. Cowboys had #1 offense in the NFL. Zeke had more touches than Henry. You wouldn’t accuse us of not going through our best player.
Johnson was never a guy you had to worry about gashing you for 150 on the ground. Just look at his yards per carry. He did his damage in the pass game mainly. He had one good year on the ground. So yeah as a RB he was definitely overrated.
I have said sign him,
You can say that all you want, but Tricky is right. If it was Johnson in Henry’s place after a season like that most people would be screaming that we had to sign him.
