I guess Ingram is not having a good year with the Ravens.

He’s not and he’s been injured for most of the year.

Didn't take long for someone to bring up Fournette.

May not be what LSU fans thought he'd be in the NFL.... but he's made more money that plenty of fans here and has turned out better that SEVERAL college RBs.

actually surprised Chubb isn’t up there? I guess because they split carries in Cleveland but he seems to be having a great season.


He was out for 6 weeks or so due to an injury and yes he does split carries more than Henry but he still does really well. I think his YPC is tops in the league or at least near the top.

DraftKings had a nice little promo boost on bets on Henry to win the rushing title. Glad I jumped on that, especially after last week.

Henry is just lucky that he’s had great OL’s in college and the NFL to keep him from getting hurt. Injuries are what kills RB’s careers in the NFL. Hopefully he continues to stay healthy

I posted here years ago that D Henry was one of the most special running backs I've ever seen, while he was a sophomore at Bama I think, and your majority collection of wannabe Gump "experts" poopooed him as "not proven yet", of course based on their vast experience at Stephenson or Eufuala or Demopolis Academy

Have you bumped your head? As a true freshman he fed Oklahoma they're lunch!

He was the all-time Highschool Nat'l Rushing Record Holder for yds and rush tds.

We knew who he was, and what he was!

The Titans made need to play Derrick at LBer on defense if they plan to get into the playoffs. Aight

It Lane Kiffin to get DH on the field in 2013. Henry must not have please Burton Burns in year one.

Congrats! If you now think you were the only one who happened to see the obvious, your delusional, per usual.

The only dude holding up Derrick Henry was Lane Kiffin. From the moment he arrived at the Capstone he declared that he didn't believe in offensive identity. That belief brought about a number of nationally televised sideline azz-chewings. The result was that Henry's superior talent and endurance were the world's best-kept SEC secret and decoy.

If not for major injuries at the position, creating plenty of rushing opportunities for the last running back standing in 2015, and finally settling on Jake Coker, after the Ole Miss debacle, no one would have seen King Henry in beast-mode even his Junior year. Much less win a Heisman.

If Kiffin had his offensive way that year, he would have had Cooper Bateman doing his Blake Sims imitation with Calvin Ridley, as in 2014.

I think he's 3rd in rushing yards per game played, and 5th in total yards per game played. He went down with an injury earlier in the season and missed a few games. It's been great seeing him do his thing though, now fully recovered from his injury.

Did you read what I wrote?

It was your dumbass fans acting like he wasn't all that great. Like "they'd seen better" etc

No, I think it's more you mostly spending far too much time on the Rant. Rational Bama fans knew who and what King Henry was from the very first 70-yard sprint to the end zone vs the razorbacks as a freshman. The size and top speed made this guy the 2nd most underused mismatch in Bama history. I give Julio Jones that top space. The emphasis here is on "rational" Bama fan.

Surely Leonard has so many yards and TDs that they are having to break out the big abacus to calculate them all

I think HTWMI is about done after 10 years as a contact RB. JK Dobbins, who is getting most of the Raven snaps, is clearly a better back at this point in time. Hate to say it but its true.

No, my life just doesn't revolve around seeing someone not be the modern Jim Brown.

TONS of a1abama fans probably open their spineless books and add tick marks.... " another week down and Fournette still isn't amazing"
