I sure hope Derrick Henry is a beast this year

Yes
I was seconding your notion

 

Henry has 15 career fumbles on 1800 touches... I don't think fumbling is an issue. Just happened to have a few knocked out this season. (Still not at his career high of 5 in a season)

 

He's up to 5 this season.

 

All the way down to 1 every 65 touches.

 

All the way up to #1 for non-QB's =]

 

don't understand why we take out our best offensive player pretty much automatically on third down's, especially on 3rd and 2 situations, you're pretty much letting the defense know there is zero chance we are running the ball.

 

In a tie with other non QBs.

Here’s the fumble rate for the others with 4-5 fumbles:
Damien Pierce -4. 1 in 62 touches
Kamara -4. 1 in 54 touches
Pacheco -4. 1 in 44 touches
Etienne -5. 1 in 42 touches
Ekeler-4. 1 in 40 touches
Melvin Gordon -5. 1 in 23 touches
Montrell Washington -5. 1 in 11 touches
Amari Rodgers -5. 1 in 7 touches

Henry is absolutely fine. Bad year, sure. Far from a fumbling “issue”.

 

I’ll never understand that especially if they’ve tried to use him in the passing game and he clearly attracts so much attention.

 

If anything proves the offense is moron Vrabel offense, it is the Henry 3rd down and finishing games thing. That has been in play since Henry was drafted, regardless of OC. Vrabel takes Henry out, not the OC.

and honestly, Vrabel's stubborness is really making me start to dislike him. I may end up hoping we lose every single game next season to force a change if he isnt willing to make some changes and grow.

 

His fumbles are up, his ypc is down, his ypg is down, his big runs are down. He's fine, but just fine. If we had another piece on offense, that would be great but him as the focal point right now? It's not scaring anyone.

Also thanks for putting that list together it's interesting to see. Amari Rodgers is ****en hilarious.
