Many people aren't watching the Jags/Titans game or won't open the game thread. So you can see this run here.

 

Yea fuck me. Sit him on my bench in favor of fournette

Jacobs sleeping on the couch tonight. 

After having him last year in fantasy, I thought that he could have been something if only DeMarco Murray wasn't there. Then DeMarco retired, so I thought that he would be something special this year.

I drafted him before the season and probably started him at least once, maybe twice... but he has been pretty bad this year. Dion Lewis has been their "star RB" if you were pressed to name one, but...

He has come on lately and tonight he appears to be going off. He's probably on waiver still in my league. I don't know if he's "in a contract year" (translation: "on the juice to have a career year") or if something has clicked, but this is who people thought that he would be coming out of Bama.

More of a closer view of it.


A little different than Tony D's run.

Big 12 refs would have called four holds and three facemasks.

I was telling my 20YO son that Henry's was probably 4-5 seconds longer...LOL.

Hawk didn't need to run over anyone when they couldn't touch him!

He had Drew Pearson blocking downfield and did a slight slowdown and then speed up so that the defender would slow down and that helped Drew get a better position to block the guy. (Smart running by Tony.)

Also, the Cowboys only had 10 men on the field.

Credit to Henry, he also slowed down at least twice, because he knew that he was more likely to get tackled from the side or behind, so he made sure to get the defender someone in front of him so that he could shove the guy down. Most backs would just run until they got tackled from behind, but I'm thinking that he played some "Tackle The Man With The Ball" when he was younger and/or has been in some shoving matches before and knows the best way to use his size & strength against a would-be tackler.

A few weeks ago, I looked it up and Henry had a higher YPC avg than Lewis. The Titans just decided they needed to give Lewis far more carries per game.

Dorsett told me there were two reasons he was a great back, main reasons, the first, he had great vision, his nickname was Hawk. And second, he said that is two strides he could be at full speed.

One of my favorite players of all time.

"Tackle The Man With The Ball"


Don’t be a fag. Just call it Smear the Queer.

Thought bout grabbing him off waivers today for my playoff game, as I'm pretty thin at RB without James Connor. I didn't. Fuck.

Last year his YPC were far superior to DeMarco Murray's, but he usually didn't get more than 2 or 3 carries until the 4th quarter. By that time, the defenses were tired and he's a monster.

The disparity in YPC this season with Lewis probably also has something to do with when he gets his carries, but I think that he's been coming on in the last week or three and the entire team is playing better. His yards after contact vs Lewis' is probably a joke.

I'd heard "Smear the Queer" sometime in college/post college, but didn't know what it was referring to until this calendar year. (2018)

We played "Tackle The Man With The Ball" growing up in our neighbor's yard or at school and I never knew that there was another name for it. (It's still the first/only name that pops into my head when I try to explain the game to a friend's 7 year-old son.)


SIDE NOTE: The only name I knew for a large "portable stereo" growing up was a "GHETTO BLASTER" until my older sister went to college in Massachusetts and mentioned "a jam box" when the was home over the holidays. I had to have her explain what she was talking about, because I only knew the one term. I think that I picked up "...a portable stereo..." from the SEARS & MONTGOMERY WARDS catalogs, but considered that more of a description than an actual name for the item.

Wow.  How many Jags quit on that play?  I wanna say all 11 defenders on the field could have caught up to Derek Henry.

That was some shitty non-tackling

I was standing in the same place tonight watching Henry’s run, at my parents home,  when Dorsett did his 99 back in 1983. Except Dorsett did it on 12” black and white tv.  Times have changed. /csb

csb: my father built dorsett's house in sachse.  dorsett is currently undertaking the CTE long goodbye.

I saw him a month ago at the Virginia Tech game at Pitt. He does not look good at all.

If cowboys ever need a 99 yd to win a game late you better know where to get your ass to

Watching the videos posted here it looked to me like he did grab that first guys facemask when he stiff armed him.

Due to injuries, I had no choice but to start Henry tonight in the fantasy playoff first round. Thank you, fantasy gods!

I almost don't believe this.

Sad to hear about Tony and CTE. I had two football posters on my wall growing up. Tony and Earl. I never had a favorite NFL team, I rooted for both equally. 

Both great runs. After Peterson's 90-yarder last week, I'm starting to think that D-backs are wearing leg weights these days.

The thing about Henry is you can't let him get up to speed. He is almost impossible to tackle by one dude at that point.

TD's was actually more impressive.

It was actually 99-2/3 yards and done with only 10 men on offense.

The fullback was on the bench.

IOW, you’ve never moved out.

No. 

he brutalized 2 or 3 defenders, Earl Campell style. That's more difficult. TD had more speed, more finesse, but DH was more difficult. 

I have both he and Lewis on my FF team.  

I'll let you guess which one I started.

False, stopped by to give them a bigger color tv.  Was time to replace the aging black and white.
