Derrick Henry

Blue1956 : 9/30/2024 6:04 am
Still has plenty left in the tank & should have been picked up by Schoen instead of Singletary! A no nonsense Rb who would have run thru the Cryboys!
Sure...  
DefenseWins : 9/30/2024 6:06 am : link
he looked great last year lol. Maybe 25 other GMs should also be fired for passing on Henry.
I was stunned  
section125 : 9/30/2024 6:09 am : link
when he ran away from the DBs on that 1st handoff.

But not sure he would have come to the Giants. Probably looking for a ring. His salary was not that bad (2 yrs $16 mill).
They should have contacted him  
LauderdaleMatty : 9/30/2024 7:07 am : link
But he would have laughed his ass off. Ravens despite a bad start are legit contenders in the AFC. Who slim you play for ? Especially if the one was close. Just because morons want say RBs aren’t important doesn’t mean they actually don’t matter. Just like LBs. they aren’t important. Any think Free Warner isn’t worth any penny? Henry is no different than Barkley. For that teams he’s worth it. Not for the Giants

You can argue over paying an investing in a RB is stupid. But there’s not one RB contract that sniffs how bad the QB contracts are in today’s NFL. Henry is also an anomaly. Most RBs seriously slow down after his career workload. He’s like Peterson. A freak. And just like Saquan wasted on the Giants.
Barkley

Barkley ran 10 for 84 and caught four passes for 32 yesterday.
We lost him over a 2 million dollar difference last year. But we have a boatload of money for Burns.

Barkley was a non factor. 60 of those 84 yards came on one run and he blew a blitz pick up which led to a hurts fumble

Henry was not coming to the Giants. First and foremost, I'd imagine he wanted a chance to be on a playoff team. Secondly, the team publicly chose not to pay Saquon because they don't value the RB position. Not to say that's a foreign policy in comparison to other teams, but Saquon was the Giants only viable offensive threat and they let him go for nothing.

Is not different on the Sheagles than he was on the GMen! If Henry wanted to come here than Schoen should have jumped on it! Henry doesn’t dance around like Barkley & it would have been a joy watching him tearing up the Cryboys! I know I’m lamenting what could have been but it would have been nice seeing Henry punishing defenses wearing Blue!
They probably did contact him. He probably didn't  
Blue21 : 9/30/2024 7:37 am : link
pick up the phone. It rang off the hook.

It couldn’t have been though, he wants a title, so he went to a top 5 team instead on us.

Would rather have Burns...
I'm amazed  
pjcas18 : 9/30/2024 8:07 am : link
someone his size can be that fast.

You look at him and expect he'll be a plodding, bruising, back and some times he is, but then he has a gear usually reserved for smaller human beings.

The sheagles r resembling last years Giants especially lacking their Lt & top receivers! Philthy is far from being championship caliber!

I said before the season that Henry  
Section331 : 9/30/2024 8:57 am : link
was the perfect fit for Baltimore. That doesn’t mean he would be a perfect fit here. Would he be better than Singletary? Sure, but he doesn’t fit what Daboll wants to do offensively. Still, considering what Philly paid SB, Henry was a steal.

Jerry felt he was too expensive to sign or the Boys might be SB favorites

You honestly think that team is a RB away from a championship? Haha, right…
Barkley

got a bunch of yards and the Eagles got their ass kicked. Hope the Eagles fans are having fun welcoming their prodigal son home.

what more do they need besides a big control the clock back who can move chains?
You think Henry wants to finish up his career  
SirLoinOfBeef : 9/30/2024 9:27 am : link
with Daniel Jones??

He had that shit in TN with Tannehill.

When you play with Lamar Jackson at the helm, defenses have to account for him.

This makes your life as a RB easier.

Henry wouldn't make any difference  
PatersonPlank : 9/30/2024 9:40 am : link
If Barkley didn't, Henry won't. Looks at the games when he gets "Giants type" run blocking, he gets like 10 yards. He is a downhill power runner who needs a hole. He is not a guy who creates his own holes. He'd be about the same as Singletary, last week he'd get nothing too.
I was certain that Henry was washed  
Hammer : 9/30/2024 9:47 am : link
and wouldn't be a factor for the Ravens.

I guess I couldn't possibly have been any more wrong.
He, Barkley, and Nabers

The amount of people that said/believed Henry to be cooked is a prime example to me of how powerful the media is in creating narratives. And also, many people only watch the Giants games.

Dude is a freak, a future Hall of Famer, and besides terms like "age" and "mileage", I have not seen anything on the field suggesting he's lost a step or is in a decline.
Henry went from a bad situation to a perfect situation

Why would he have come here when he could go to the Ravens?
