Mistake not getting Derrick Henry

[big dog cowboy]

But the most valuable franchise in the universe

Has nothing to do with it. The salary cap thingy doesn't work that way.

Yea we don't have the threat of Lamar running to the outside to open those lanes.

Henry would be like the rest of these backs most likely. 3 yards and a cloud of dust.


But I sure wish we could have found out.
Or Saquon Barkley...

Can't be worse. Our offense has no threats outside of CD.

The lack of football iq on here is wild. Like we watch a different game. Our line/scheme is pathetic.

 

[jwitten82]

He isn't going to make it 20 games.

Lol based off what? He's splitting carries, and he's never really had an injury history

 

[jwitten82]

It was a terrible mistake and they probably could have signed him for the same deal or less. I don't think that Henry can do this the whole season.

Lol Henry has done this multiple seasons with the Titans when he was their only weapon. Now he's not gonna do it on a team with multiple weapons?

Haha. Go drive Jerry's yacht lol. And YES BIG DOG SALARY Dawg I know more about salary caps as a small business owner than your BIG DAWG Jerry does. Jerry put all his eggs in the Lamb and Dak basket....more like caskets.

If the Ravens went to the Super Bowl, Henry would have 400 carries.

 

[Tabascocat]

We will never know how much of an impact Henry would have had but I would bet on it not overcoming Jerry’s culture and GM incompetence.

 

[rambo2]

He wouldn't make a difference with our line/scheme. But yall go ahead complaining

He would make a difference.

Henry ran for 199 yards tonight against the Bills! I bet we don't have a back gain 125- 150 yards all Season!

 

[stilltheguru]

He would make a difference.

Lol ok. If it makes yall cope with having Jerry as gm to say that by all means.

 

[Ben7]

Jerry is having a few Johnny Walkers tonight and swears he is watching Zeke out there

 

[Ben7]

major.
i'll never understand how you don't sign that man.
it was chump change.
we should've drafted him in '16...still don't understand how he was not considered a first rounder league wide in that draft.
he was clearly the best back in college that year.
but not signing him to that deal he got from the ravens was/is just dumb.
and please don't waste your time trying to explain it to me.
it was purly stupid not to sign derrick henry.

Another example why we have not been to the NFC Championship or Super Bowl for forever!

 

[Ben7]

Our GM is the worst in the NFL. The Commanders are passing us up with our former coaches and former players.

No Joke!!! Crying Shame!! Those are going 2 wild games when we meet!

 

[diamonddelts]

So far in the season its looking like a very Big Mistake our GM did not go after Derrick Henry! Should have paid more than the Ravens and got him here in my opinion. Be interesting if he keeps balling the whole season!

I love Derrick Henry as a player. However, Dallas offensive line is trash. Who was going to block and open holes for Henry here? He is much better off in Baltimore.

Henry should thank the stars that Darth Leatherface is such a inept General Manager. Coming to Dallas would have ruined the last chapter of his career.

 

[quickccc]

I would rather have Aaron Jones. Fits our offense better.

no he doesnt...

"We like our guys!" (drunk Jerry falls off the back of yacht)

There are many on this board that told us zeke has still got it, so I’m holding faith that he’ll break a 20 yarder before he retires.

Henry > Zeke in terms of longevity. it’s not even close.

Zeke had more spectacular 2-3 first seasons that’s it.

What would Henry have done with those lines? That’s the only way to think about that IMHO

 

[plasticman]

It was a mistake to do absolutely nothing to upgrade the RB squad over the three previous drafts with someone over 5ft 6.
