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.

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?

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

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! :mad::angry::mad:

So far in the season its looking like a very Big Mistake our GM did not go after Derrick Henry! :facepalm::mad: :banghead: 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.

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
