kind of have no choice but to overwork Henry when your two best receivers are out
Henry should be given some breathers on first and second down (something that rarely happens) and be given more opportunities on third down.
Yes but we should've won today without Henry getting a massive workload.
We have to give Henry the workload at the end of the season. Henry can run for 140 yards a game and if Tanny gets sacked 4 times a game, we're not going to win.
Don't run Henry into ground right now. Downing needs to be more creative.
Mix up drives then, not just 3rd downs.
Totally agree.
quit running Henry in the middle of an 8 man front.
Hell, try a fucking sweep in first down every now and then.
Art did the same stuff.
To be fair, the only person we could rely on for 3rd down conversions today was McNichols. He had some huge gains on 3rd for us today.
Did you read the post? This is not about McNichol's, its about taking Henry out in critical 3rd or 4th and short situations. You can play McNichols on 3rd and long, which is where he did all his damage.
This is about an offensive coaching staff that is making objectively bad decisions that telegraph what the offense is doing simply through personnel and formation.
In the Packers/Broncos Superbowl, Mike Shanahan - a coach that's not stupid, once told an injured Terrell Davis (who was literally blind from a concussion) to walk out there just because his presence on the field made the defense think it was a run.
Here's a video of coaching by someone who is not mentally challenged: Road To The Hall: Davis' Super Bowl migraine - YouTube
No reason for Henry to be taken off the field 3rd and 2 or less. Other than that, no complaints. But the Jets just pinned their ears back on 3rd down all day today. They knew we weren’t running. That’s when it becomes a problem.
I don't read spam.. 9 messages and I'm suppose to read what you say? Lol
Sorry, I just assume people are proficient enough at reading that they wouldn't miss both the thread title and the contents of the post.
I'll leave you alone now, I'd rather not get into a back and forth with someone who is lacking in reading comprehension.
SPAM.
I think it also had to do with our pass protection being complete dog crap that we just didn’t trust Tannehill to win it for us. As bad as we played today, if that tight end at the end of OT doesn’t drop that perfect throw by Tannehill, Henry most likely wins us the game two plays later.
Yep … perfectly thrown. If he makes that catch he actually might get in himself.
Vrabel seems to love his little scat backs, and sadly, McNichols probably earned more playing time. But I agree Henry is a bigger threat strategically and physically so I would rather see him in there. It masks our calls if he is always in there.
If h
If he had caught it, his momentum should have brought him close or over the end zone. That drop, the Delay of game and the missed kick was the end.
For sure, even if he gets tackled at the 1, Henry ends the game the next play.
Watching the Chargers offense, it’s a shame Vravel promoted Downing instead of bringing in someone from a high powered offense like the Saints.
Yes he did, I mentioned this in one of my Game Day thread posts. My Ravens buddy couldn't believe how many times he was off the field on 3rd down.
