OP realizes the Browns are ranked 2nd in run defense right?
Cleveland is terrible at everything except run D.

Henry was sort of like a poor man's Barry Sanders in college. He would have a bunch of carries for minimal gain and then he would break one or two long runs that would give him a good YPC average. It's not surprising that the same trend is occurring in the NFL.

I have had a knee replacement and I could get more yards against the browns.

You probably could get more against the 2015 Bama D, too. Amirite?

Ingram, as I predicted while still in college, has had the most successful/sustained NFL career IMO. (Of recent Alabama backs)
I always felt he would have a better NFL career than Richardson.. even though Richardson was better in college.
Henry has time to bounce back though.. Idk.

It's really shitty to root against individual players, pathetic really.

If Henry had as many carries as Fournette (19) did he would have run for 105 yards.
If Fournette had as many carries as Henry (38) did he would have run for 62 yards.

Since Barry is one of my favorite NFL players of all time but his college years were before my time, can you amplify on that? I was unaware he had a reputation for feast-and-famine in college, so this is an honest request. If he did, he certainly improved in the pros.
Edit: When I say "before my time," I was alive at the time. I just didn't follow national-level college football.

FYI, the Browns were #6 in the NFL against the run coming into this game

That’s not my argument but you never know bc Fournette can break one any moment.
My point was they had so many more offensive plays. Just must be nice is all.

How did the Jacksonville Jaguars other runningback do today?

Also I’m not here to bash Henry. I support him, even own him in fantasy lol.
Yall (no one specific) telling me Fournette wouldn’t have won a heisman that season playing for Bama?
Swap both guys on each team. Does Henry really make a difference vs Bama running with LSU? Probably not.
I hope both are successful in the NFL. Especially since I don’t care with them in the AFC.
