Jerome Bettis was a power back. Derrick Henry reminds me a lot of Steven Jackson. Big ass strong dude. But runs fast and upright. He’s not the typical ground and pounder. He is looking for the HR because he’s got the speed to do it. Jerome Bettis and Mike Alstat seeked contact
@@Paralysisbyanlysis I've always thought this. Stephen Jackson was the buffest football player I've ever seen in person but he didn't really run like it until the goalline.
Facts. He doesn’t run in between the tackles because his too big. Most the time you see his big plays because his outside the tackle stiffing arming a CB. That’s Fact
@@jonesgreen9942 Nah! He's Not "TOO BIG 😂"...Brandon Jacobs Was Bigger 6'4" 265 And Ran With "THUMP" Between Guard And Tackle All Of The Time. Henry Is Kind Of Soft👊🏿.
@@55cleon or he’s not soft he’s a zone back that attacks areas of vacated space and the edges of defenses to be effective in the running game….how LT did how Terrell Davis did how Nick Chubb and Alvin Kamara do now it’s the most effective running style as it keeps backs away from big hits and unnecessary injuries up the middle of the field
@@55cleon I remember those days. He'd just knock people over like bowling pins. Adrian Peterson wasn't nearly as tall but he'd run over or through people also. You need to have that bowling ball effect when you run to be called a power running back and I'm only a casual fan.
Henry runs str8 up and doesn't run behind his pads.....simple!! That's RC's point, but he is not saying it correctly bc he's making it about what he would do.
He's a smart back and by avoiding those bone crushing runs hes going to be able to have longevity. The game is constantly changing and he doesn't have a need to be an Alstott, Cambell or Bettis. Look at the damage Earl Campbell sustained. He should be lauded for that
Ryan is right of his assessment of Derek. People forget that Tennessee had to get Eddie George to talk to Derek about using his size and running through holes that were not huge like college because he was tip toeing through holes even though he 250lb his first few years in the league.He changed his game up after that. Derek is a big fast slasher with a great stiff arm for smaller guys. He is not a power back who is going run over linebackers.
That wasn’t the reason why, Derek is a throwback guy because he’s always been used in that fashion as he’s the nations leading rusher ever in high school and college he’s one of few 2k rushers winning the Heisman he needs 25 plus touches to be as impactful as he can be his first couple years he was splitting with demarco Murray and the pats ex running back his 3rd year until that Monday night game in 2018 against the colts where they let him run loose and saw what he was made of Derek is a bellcow back everyone knows he’s getting the ball but it’s hard to stop because it wears on you as the game goes on and yes he’s big but he’s not slow or fat so he’s a zone one cut guy like his Chubb is he’s just 6’4 260 at the same time so the impact of him is greater and so is the big play ability as he lead the league in that stat his past 3 seasons being healthy
RC is absolutely right with his accessments about Henry when he is in the hole, Fred Taylor said it the best "HE IS A STRIDER" once Henry gets rolling it's a wrap.
I'm a Ravens fan. I remember Ryan Clark vividly. He was violent. Knockout hitter and I 100% agree with what he's saying about Henry. Great stiff arm. Long speed. But he doesn't lower his pads and run through guys much. I think Nick Chubb is the best back in the league. Ecspecially as a pure runner. Has it all.
Nick Chubb and DH run the exact same the difference is DH is in the mold of a power back but is a zone back and Nick Chubb is a zone back with typical zone back size watch them both run and think if Chubb was 6’4 260 still running that 4.5 they’d run the same way can break tackles but use their cuts and long speed to get on the edge of defenders and stiff arm them to oblivion to score the ball same drink of water just different sized glasses
What he’s saying is Derrick Henry is tall, has a high center of gravity, and takes longer to get up to speed and if you hit him low before he climbs speed you can drop him like it’s nothing and that’s the truth. Doesn’t mean he’s not good but he’s just a different type of back
No he saying he doesn’t lower his shoulder and run through people. He doesn’t run the football like how people imagine him he likes to run to the outside and use his speed and stiff arm. That’s why he said he think he can take him 1v1 in a tight hole pause.
He’s not saying that…he’s saying people look at him like a power back and he’s a power back. He’s a finesse/speed back that’s really big…Jerome Bettis, marshawn lynch, are power backs. Adrian Peterson was a physical runner…Derrick Henry isnt
yo how the HELL have i been sleeping on this show. this is amazing discussion. players need to continue to take over the sports take radio. RC, shannon sharpe, key, Dan O, Pat McAfee, etc. I love it.
22 really isn’t a power bruising runningback. He’s got a great stiff arm, but he really isn’t running guys over in the hole. With that being said though, his style with his size and defences being smaller today, will probably prolong his career.
Rc not wrong I've never seen Derrick henry run anyone over.... just stiff arms, vision, and speed. Still the best in the league and future hall of famer just not a power back
Somebody once said that Henry is terrifying because his knees get churning very high with those huge strides. Not fun trying to get low on that. But those strides build over 20 yards. He has the acceleration of a 4.6 guy and the top speed of a 4.3 guy. Easy to hit inside 10 yards, exponentially harder every step after that. And RC was a mauler in the Steeler years. Dude slept everything he touched. His defensive solidity and presence allowed Troy to be Troy.
RC is right. It's hard to be a power back when you're so tall. The main factor in being able to run through tacklers head on is the degree to which the shoulder pads can be lowered for leverage. Without leverage, he isn't getting any push. That's why a LB like Robert Spillaine can stop him in his tracks, even if it hurts like hell to run into +240lbs.
He been doing this shit since 8th grade all time leasing rusher in US high school history and win 2 natty’s and a Heisman at bama….you didn’t think he was gonna be the shit everyone else did lmaooo

Ryan Clark is right but the physical RBs usually don’t last as long. I’m sure Derrick Henry would rather run away from his opponents than run them over, he will have a longer career that way.
Why are they trying to act like they don’t get what RC is saying? Henry is not a power back in the true sense of the word. He’s not a bruiser. He’s a big back who can overpower (straight arm) smaller players one on one in open space. When he doesn’t have a clear path to the second level or isn’t in open space, he can be one of the easiest backs in the league to tackle. That doesn’t take away from his greatness. Every back has strengths and weaknesses. Saying he’s not a power back isn’t an insult, it just is what it is.
That's the thing. His running style leads to injuries more times than not. Hard to sustain that much direct contact. Plus he gets waaaaay too many carrys
@@rickytrent4716 he's not asked because he's not capable of being a lev bell type receiving RB.... Deebo is a wr who can run so his coach makes sure to put him in that position.... it's a simple concept
Stop. Derrick Henry looks like a man amongst boys when he's out there playing. Everybody got a different opinion now since the last time we saw him is when he came back from an injury in a playoff game. Stop overreacting
@@Imaginedragginballsonyoface he's definitely a man amongst boys I agree with you on that, but he is 6,4 250 he doesn't play like a typical power back. he's big and play small my opinion! He's still the best running back in the game today! Just not a power back.....
@@Imaginedragginballsonyoface he's just not known for running people over for tough yards, like a powerback would, but that doesn't take anything from him! 👑 Henry!
Ahman Green and Terrell Davis were two of the best power RBs I've ever seen. They ran with their heads near their knees but had the speed to leave defenders in the dust.
This is so awesome!! I really understand RC’s take that King Henry is not a “power” back. I get that BUT the fact that Taylor rides for his guy like a real G! Is so great. That’s how you want your teammate speaking up for you. Great segment by all parties.💯
@@6Chainz11 I have Marshall Faulk's San Diego State rookie card in my safe. He's elite but he didn't have Fred's jump cut ability. And Fred was doing it weighing 225.
@@rileyhaley3848 a lot of times blocking is key is short yardage situations and tackling him low with a yard to go whether it’s the end zone or first down he’s falling forward. You can’t tackle him up high and. going for the legs is no guarantee
He gets tackled behind the line with simple hand tackles more than any RB ever in NFL history possibly. But once he gets his momentum going like Unc Fred said he is a nightmare. He runs very high and very rarely does he run behind his pads which is why he gets tackled so easily with basic hand tackles because his balance after handoff is always subpar at beast.
The man is avoiding concussive hits at the position where you’re lit up almost every time you touch the ball. Can’t hold it against the dude. He’s changing the game.
RC has a point but he is not saying it correctly. Henry is not really a violent runner is what he means. The issue is- very few if any of the RBs are. They truck and stiff arm in the open field 20 yds away from the line of scrimmage but very few are violent in the hole when it gets muddy. When there are bodies around and it gets dark. Those creatures existed last seen in the early 2000s. In the 70s and 80s. Marlon the Barbarian of the Cowboys was like that. He would run through everything that moves. It cost him his career cause he rralky only had like a 5 yr career but he didn't care if his wig was going to be split. He saw the hole and ran like a banshee. Walter Payton was the best ever at it. He was going to get the 3rd and 1 no matter what. You had to kill him to stop him from trying to run you over.
@@montanaproductions5559 im a browns fan and i watch nick chubb and kareem hunt every week they run violent if they need a yard they are going to try their best to get that yard
Players are scared of Henry bc of his strength and size that’s why he seems like a power back🤷🏾♂️he’s the most ideal version of a hybrid back big, strong and fast except the downside of his size is that he can’t move very well as far as shiftiness and cut ability especially at the line of scrimmage
@@lucrative6477 He doesn't beat women, he punched a ratchet who called him a racial slur and slapped him in the face. He has my full endorsement and had it before he was ever a Bengal. Said "woman" deserved everything she got and more. If women want to square up and act like men, I don't condemn men who treat them like men. If a man walks up to you and calls you a slur and slaps you in the face you're either cowering or throwing down. Your sexism and white knightery has no place in modern society.
I’m a Titans fan, bleed two tone blue, and I totally agree with Ryan Clark’s assessment of DH running style. And I think Jonathan Taylor is a better overall back.
RC is actually correct. Henry doesnt "fall foward." He's a physical finesse player. He's not looking for contact like the bigger backs usually does. All u have to do is watch his highlights. It's a whole bunch of stiff arms. Not alot of up the middle, running threw arm tackles. But he's still a beast.
Isn't the objective is to not get hit... Trust me he knows that the contact is coming. This man went out with an injury with almost a 1k rush yards with 6 or 7 games left in the season....
@@chefdade5467 no it's not as a offensive playa via RB, wide receiver, TE etc... You don't want to get hit if your trying to score. As a running back you expect to get hit but if you can avoid it to score than that's what you will do. Henry is by far a beast. Don't down play that man because y'all feel he ain't physical enough. Check his stats and let me know if that's physical enough for you! He knows the contact is coming and he ain't scared of because he has a stiff arm that will put you on your ass. So his stiff arm ain't physical enough. Just say you don't like him but respect his game as a RB.
@@lamara8497 first of all my only problem with Henry is UM was horrible sorry another Fl kid had to got to backwoods Tuscaloosa. Henry is a great back. But if u thinks he a physical type back touche. He's not Jerome Bettis Eddie George to me. And he stiffies lil ass DBs.
People do talk about Derek like he was a better Brandon Jacobs, but he is more an open field guy who you can’t wrap up and yes, he has a great stiff arm. Not Corey Dillon but very powerful especially because of his size. He’s not a fullback though and RC pushes back on a lot of the lazy analysis that sees his size and assumed he’s a bowling ball
I agree. Henry always been the biggest man in the field and still is. He doesn't have to destroy his body when he's the most athletic pound for pound football player. Why end up like Zeke when you dont have to
never one on one DH feet were wrapped up by a dline man when the line backer on the Steelers littem up and the ravens had 9 in the box and ran run blitzes on 1st and second down because their corners were good enough to man up the titans wrs .... gotta remember context matters
We really need a definition of a power back. Here's the thing, tons of guys we considered "power backs" never were big on "trucking" people over, they stiff arm and run through tackles. I think we should leave these people alone and just use the word "bruiser" or bruising back to describe a runner that runs people over.
RC clearly states Henry isn’t the best back in the league only to than five minutes later clearly state Henry is the best back in the league. He’s perfect for sports media
I see some similarities with Eric Dickerson when he runs. Deceptive speed, super long strides and one cut backs. Henry carries more weight then Eric did so he’s a little more power where Eric had a lil more juice.
Bro people forget Henry was about to be cut because he wasn’t playing well and the knock on him was he didn’t run like someone his size should. He still doesn’t but the Titans line has gotten good enough that they give him enough room to get going and then he’s to big to wrap up.
That’s exactly it. He doesn’t run like Marshawn Lynch. He runs straight up with his arm ready for a stiffy at range because he’s so tall. Nothing wrong with it, he’s just not a conventional power guy
Derrick Henry is not a power back. If he was you would see more highlights of him putting dudes on there backs. He runs with a mean stiff arm. He ain’t dropping his shoulder on anybody.
Imagine seeing Henry trying to hit Prime Clark & Troy .... He's got a point , Henry is great , just not a full power back Edit : PUT FUCKING ALSTOTT IN THE HALL OF FAME !
He 250 pounds and I’ve seen him go 85+ yds on inside handoffs like 5 times in the past 3 years. one of 8 ever to get 2K. You must not watch a lotta ball
To his defense RC was a head hunter in his time, probably one of the hardest hitting dbs. But you still ain't splitting Henry lol even though he doesn't run like a power runner he also rarely ever takes a hard hit. Maybe like once a year.
I love Ryan Clark, he was so much fun to watch with the Steelers but dude CLEARLY doesn't know what he is talking about with Henry. I agree Henry has come up short on the short yardage plays. but once he gets to the 2nd level dude is 100% a power back you don't want to fit up against. He doesn't have as explosive of a first step as dudes like AP and Frank Gore but he has to be one of the hardest open field tackles to make. Clark is fitting him into this narrow definition of "power back" and I can't tell how much of that is him trying to make a hot take and how much is his inner LSU alum just hating on a Bama alum. I despise Bama but Henry is what a modern power back needs to be in the NFL
He is 100% not a power back at all. He doesn’t like to run up the middle. He likes to run to the outside and use his speed and stiff arm. When Titans used him as a power back he wasn’t good and they was thinking about getting rid of him. Till they start running him more to the outside. I don’t think I ever really seen him run someone over. Zeke right now is more of a power back then Henry.
Henry isn't a damn PowerBack. Watch his games it's not hard to notice, there is no "Modern PowerBack. There all equal. He's a slasher/one cut type of back who happens to he huge..... How are you gonna Question an NFL player about the in and outs of football..... that's like telling LeBron he doesn't know basketball
But don't you see how you are describing exactly what RC is saying? You use phrases like "when he gets to the second level"and "in the open field", but his point is what if I hit him before he gets that head of steam? RC's point is if you make contact before or at the line of scrimmage Henry doesn't get that 1-2 yards he's supposed to at that size. And I agree. Still a monster back, still King Henry, just a level to his game that isn't the best.
@@dominiquetall5511 so let me get this right.. In order to be a powerback you have to have no other tools to your game but running straight in to guys lmao
Ryan Clark isn’t wrong. Henry doesn’t run like a power back. Imagine if Henry ran the way Marshawn runs.
Lynch had better moves. Derrick Henry is a slasher with a stiff arm. That’s it. I can’t even find a back like him. He is simply a slasher.

When he doesn’t have a clear path to the second level or isn’t in open space, he can be one of the easiest backs in the league to tackle. That doesn’t take away from his greatness. Every back has strengths and weaknesses. Saying he’s not a power back isn’t an insult, it just is what it is.
Honestly, if Derrick Henry doesn’t get hurt, he would be the first player to rush for 2k not only twice but back to back
That's the thing. His running style leads to injuries more times than not. Hard to sustain that much direct contact. Plus he gets waaaaay too many carrys
@@mydixiewrekt5730 he runs against 8 tho.. Hes the only rb that carries his team also

Derrick Henry is that one RB we all created in Madden that comes to life
Except my madden back would also have max acceleration
My madden back would be able to catch a pass deeper than a yard behind the line.
@@peacefulmusic5253 I’ve literally seen him outrun defensive backs. He went for 99 yards 1 play

I'm with Ryan Clark on this one, he's not a power back!
Stop. Derrick Henry looks like a man amongst boys when he's out there playing.
Everybody got a different opinion now since the last time we saw him is when he came back from an injury in a playoff game. Stop overreacting
@@Imaginedragginballsonyoface he's definitely a man amongst boys I agree with you on that, but he is 6,4 250 he doesn't play like a typical power back. he's big and play small my opinion! He's still the best running back in the game today! Just not a power back.....
@@Imaginedragginballsonyoface he's just not known for running people over for tough yards, like a powerback would, but that doesn't take anything from him! 👑 Henry!
@@Imaginedragginballsonyoface there's a distinction in style of play between a power back type and a back that's powerful.
Definitely not a speed back so idk what kind of back he is
Hands down one of THE best if not THE best episode.
Ahman Green and Terrell Davis were two of the best power RBs I've ever seen. They ran with their heads near their knees but had the speed to leave defenders in the dust.
Davis is why im a Bronco fan till this day.
10:29 had to be one of the funniest moments on the bus
This is so awesome!! I really understand RC’s take that King Henry is not a “power” back. I get that BUT the fact that Taylor rides for his guy like a real G! Is so great. That’s how you want your teammate speaking up for you. Great segment by all parties.💯
Wow good honest banter. Good shit boys
Fred Taylor has arguably the best jump cut ever.
But LT man.

Best part was bussin in the boys lmfao
He's a big, very fast at top speed, one cut RB.
Who also has great vision and a nasty stiff arm.
However you want to depict him, he's great.
He's gonna be great with 0 rings because he can't earn a hard yard.
@@rileyhaley3848 a lot of times blocking is key is short yardage situations and tackling him low with a yard to go whether it’s the end zone or first down he’s falling forward. You can’t tackle him up high and. going for the legs is no guarantee

BUSTIN IN THE BOYS!! Killed me!
He gets tackled behind the line with simple hand tackles more than any RB ever in NFL history possibly. But once he gets his momentum going like Unc Fred said he is a nightmare. He runs very high and very rarely does he run behind his pads which is why he gets tackled so easily with basic hand tackles because his balance after handoff is always subpar at beast.
Zeke has him beat lol
My boy said more than any running back ever
So basically Erik Dickerson
Would LOVE to see the unedited version
The man is avoiding concussive hits at the position where you’re lit up almost every time you touch the ball. Can’t hold it against the dude. He’s changing the game.
concussive? definitely not. maybe lower body injuries but i doubt anyone is hitting buddy up high
"Bussin' in the boys" ahahaha too funny
Henry ain't tryna end up like Brandon Jacobs
A football player’s ability to remember moments in basically any game they’ve played in always amazes me lol
RC is telling the truth. Jarrod Davis vs Derrick Henry in college, Henry got lit up head to head
Every running back has been lit up comes with the position
RC has a point but he is not saying it correctly. Henry is not really a violent runner is what he means. The issue is- very few if any of the RBs are. They truck and stiff arm in the open field 20 yds away from the line of scrimmage but very few are violent in the hole when it gets muddy. When there are bodies around and it gets dark. Those creatures existed last seen in the early 2000s. In the 70s and 80s. Marlon the Barbarian of the Cowboys was like that. He would run through everything that moves. It cost him his career cause he rralky only had like a 5 yr career but he didn't care if his wig was going to be split. He saw the hole and ran like a banshee. Walter Payton was the best ever at it. He was going to get the 3rd and 1 no matter what. You had to kill him to stop him from trying to run you over.
Well said
Marshawn came to mind
Idk if I’ve seen a more violent back than the Barbarian… early AD in the convo maybe Steven Jackson but nothing like Marion
Ran like a bantha*
@@montanaproductions5559 im a browns fan and i watch nick chubb and kareem hunt every week they run violent if they need a yard they are going to try their best to get that yard
Players are scared of Henry bc of his strength and size that’s why he seems like a power back🤷🏾♂️he’s the most ideal version of a hybrid back big, strong and fast except the downside of his size is that he can’t move very well as far as shiftiness and cut ability especially at the line of scrimmage
Busting IN the boys 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
These guys are great together
Bro this vid started off PERFECTLY
Mixon's jumpcut is probably the most underrated in the league.
Mixon does a lot right, but it’s hard to get any praise when you are beating women.
@David Irish dude a rookie saquon was a beast he had the elusiveness and the power along with the hurdles and receiving ability.
I think Kamara is the most skilled back in the league
@@waynedillworth7013 Kamala also needs to stop hitting women
@@lucrative6477 He doesn't beat women, he punched a ratchet who called him a racial slur and slapped him in the face. He has my full endorsement and had it before he was ever a Bengal. Said "woman" deserved everything she got and more. If women want to square up and act like men, I don't condemn men who treat them like men. If a man walks up to you and calls you a slur and slaps you in the face you're either cowering or throwing down. Your sexism and white knightery has no place in modern society.
7:58 was a true football locker room moment
I’m a Titans fan, bleed two tone blue, and I totally agree with Ryan Clark’s assessment of DH running style. And I think Jonathan Taylor is a better overall back.
Ong like Henry is good don’t get me wrong but he gets force fed 40 carries a game I think JT is more efficient per carry if that makes sense
U the first Titans fan to say that
Ummmmm Subscribed!!! Can't believe the first time I'm seeing this. Bussing in the boys...LOLOLOL!
RC is actually correct. Henry doesnt "fall foward." He's a physical finesse player. He's not looking for contact like the bigger backs usually does. All u have to do is watch his highlights. It's a whole bunch of stiff arms. Not alot of up the middle, running threw arm tackles. But he's still a beast.
Isn't the objective is to not get hit... Trust me he knows that the contact is coming. This man went out with an injury with almost a 1k rush yards with 6 or 7 games left in the season....
@@lamara8497 that is the object, IF, u play that way. No one EVER said that bout Bettis, George, Lynch, Peterson, Alstott amongst others.
@@chefdade5467 no it's not as a offensive playa via RB, wide receiver, TE etc... You don't want to get hit if your trying to score. As a running back you expect to get hit but if you can avoid it to score than that's what you will do. Henry is by far a beast. Don't down play that man because y'all feel he ain't physical enough. Check his stats and let me know if that's physical enough for you! He knows the contact is coming and he ain't scared of because he has a stiff arm that will put you on your ass. So his stiff arm ain't physical enough. Just say you don't like him but respect his game as a RB.
@@lamara8497 first of all my only problem with Henry is UM was horrible sorry another Fl kid had to got to backwoods Tuscaloosa. Henry is a great back. But if u thinks he a physical type back touche. He's not Jerome Bettis Eddie George to me. And he stiffies lil ass DBs.
People do talk about Derek like he was a better Brandon Jacobs, but he is more an open field guy who you can’t wrap up and yes, he has a great stiff arm. Not Corey Dillon but very powerful especially because of his size. He’s not a fullback though and RC pushes back on a lot of the lazy analysis that sees his size and assumed he’s a bowling ball
Ryan's right. He's not a power runner. He's one of the best home run hitting zone runners
Bus’s’in in the boys 🤣🤣
I agree. Henry always been the biggest man in the field and still is. He doesn't have to destroy his body when he's the most athletic pound for pound football player. Why end up like Zeke when you dont have to
Ekeler stronger pound for pound but Henry is close after
@@noahpayton5032 zeke did fall of they cowboys oline is trash and they don't give hime the ball enough would you agree or disagree

never one on one DH feet were wrapped up by a dline man when the line backer on the Steelers littem up and the ravens had 9 in the box and ran run blitzes on 1st and second down because their corners were good enough to man up the titans wrs .... gotta remember context matters
@@carpediem1015 Nah Spillane went 1 on 1 with Henry and just STONEWALLED him
Lmaoooooo at the pause moment!!!
We really need a definition of a power back. Here's the thing, tons of guys we considered "power backs" never were big on "trucking" people over, they stiff arm and run through tackles. I think we should leave these people alone and just use the word "bruiser" or bruising back to describe a runner that runs people over.
RC clearly states Henry isn’t the best back in the league only to than five minutes later clearly state Henry is the best back in the league. He’s perfect for sports media
Eddie George had literally tell Derrick Henry to play to his size cause he was running soft. Credit to Henry to taking Eddie George advice
“Bussin’ In The Boys” is crazy 😂😂😂😂
I see some similarities with Eric Dickerson when he runs. Deceptive speed, super long strides and one cut backs. Henry carries more weight then Eric did so he’s a little more power where Eric had a lil more juice.
Great comparison
I Lime RC but when you play alongside Troy polamalu and players are looking for him... your gonna get your free 2 to 3 shots a game
Nick Bolton stopped Henry at the line or behind the line.
Bro people forget Henry was about to be cut because he wasn’t playing well and the knock on him was he didn’t run like someone his size should. He still doesn’t but the Titans line has gotten good enough that they give him enough room to get going and then he’s to big to wrap up.
That’s exactly it. He doesn’t run like Marshawn Lynch. He runs straight up with his arm ready for a stiffy at range because he’s so tall. Nothing wrong with it, he’s just not a conventional power guy
Bussin in the boys 🤣💀

what would impress you?

Ryan isn't wrong. Henry isn't going to run over someone like Earl Campbell, not that he is soft, it's just not his first instinct.
I’m supeised they didn’t bring in talk like Alexander or The BUS. Henry is not like those players RC was right. I agree with you
Henry is one of a kind.. Hes earl mixed with dickerson
That’s how you get hurt. Henry is throwing grown men on the ground
Bussin’ in the boys hahaha
To his defense RC was a head hunter in his time, probably one of the hardest hitting dbs. But you still ain't splitting Henry lol even though he doesn't run like a power runner he also rarely ever takes a hard hit. Maybe like once a year.
Hey guys awesome video! Great channel!!!
I love Ryan Clark, he was so much fun to watch with the Steelers but dude CLEARLY doesn't know what he is talking about with Henry. I agree Henry has come up short on the short yardage plays. but once he gets to the 2nd level dude is 100% a power back you don't want to fit up against. He doesn't have as explosive of a first step as dudes like AP and Frank Gore but he has to be one of the hardest open field tackles to make. Clark is fitting him into this narrow definition of "power back" and I can't tell how much of that is him trying to make a hot take and how much is his inner LSU alum just hating on a Bama alum. I despise Bama but Henry is what a modern power back needs to be in the NFL
Facts
He is 100% not a power back at all. He doesn’t like to run up the middle. He likes to run to the outside and use his speed and stiff arm. When Titans used him as a power back he wasn’t good and they was thinking about getting rid of him. Till they start running him more to the outside. I don’t think I ever really seen him run someone over. Zeke right now is more of a power back then Henry.
Henry isn't a damn PowerBack. Watch his games it's not hard to notice, there is no "Modern PowerBack. There all equal. He's a slasher/one cut type of back who happens to he huge.....
How are you gonna Question an NFL player about the in and outs of football..... that's like telling LeBron he doesn't know basketball
But don't you see how you are describing exactly what RC is saying? You use phrases like "when he gets to the second level"and "in the open field", but his point is what if I hit him before he gets that head of steam? RC's point is if you make contact before or at the line of scrimmage Henry doesn't get that 1-2 yards he's supposed to at that size. And I agree. Still a monster back, still King Henry, just a level to his game that isn't the best.
@@dominiquetall5511 so let me get this right.. In order to be a powerback you have to have no other tools to your game but running straight in to guys lmao
