NFL Reviews Week 6: Derrick Henry Explains Why It’s the Rare RB Worth The Big Bucks, Patriots Need Training And More

Running back doesn’t have to be important. It is meant to be replaceable, more or less. You really don’t have to pay to even jog.

Unless your back is Derek Henry.

On the one hand I can easily count on how many runs I feel are worth paying $ 10 million a year from a team building perspective. Because of what Henry does to the Titans and what he does to counter defenses, he is at the top of the list.

This was no more evident than in Sunday’s extra 42-36 win over Houston, as Henry ran 212 yards in 22 gigs and threw at 52 yards in two places.

Henry pushed over 100 yards for the tenth time of his last 14 competitions. Always a big noon, his rise to 2019 coincided with the inclusion of Ryan Tannehill as the midfielder. And make no mistake: Tannehill must have been in the top 5 MVP rankings within six weeks.

But Henry is without a doubt the most valuable member of crime. Tannhill can only do well outside of play because the defenses respect – nope, fear – Henry. At 6 feet-3 and around 250 lbs., Henry has reached a top speed of 21.62 mph in his 94 yard career. It was the fourth fastest speed the ball holder has reached this season, and at the same time it is impressive, comedic and terrifying.

It was the sixth week of wild Sundays and there is much more to go through. John Brisch and Ryan Wilson join host Will Brinson on Pick Six Podcast to break it all down; Listen below and make sure to sign up for daily NFL benefits.

Henry’s ability to obtain arenas after contact is second to none between active players. How his will against the defenses imposes an unparalleled cumulative effect in office. When it comes to a team’s value in running back, only Alvin Camara is on his level, in my humble opinion.

He speaks so well of Titans and GM John Robinson that they haven’t allowed Henry to play this season on the franchise brand. What I expected them to do – and honestly what I was going to do – is to get Henry on the ground in 2020, just like in 2019. I was going to see if he had stopped, and when March 2021 came, I would figure out if I needed the box that I started off the road As it relates to a long-term contract.

But the mighty officers realized Henry’s value to the team. They signed him into a four-year, $ 50 million deal with $ 25.5 million in guarantees, which at the time placed him on the top three in the top three in terms of average annual salary.

Titans did right by Henry. And with Henry playing a key role in his 5–0 start, he’s doing well for the team.

Patriots lack practice shows

The Patriots looked like a team that barely managed to train this week. They had the best midfielders, coach and defense. He still lost 18-12 at home to Denver. I think Tennessee spoiled us on Tuesday when they took care of Falo after 12 days of rest, so that’s really what the team is supposed to look like without practice.

Bill Bilesik said after the match, “Well, it was a huge challenge.” “Playing without men, hurting players, moving around, and there were some players who didn’t play together much, didn’t train much. So we need to get on the field, we need to train, we need to develop some continuity as a team, but especially there.”

More insider reviews for Week 6

• It took me so long but I’ll say it: It’s time to stop calling Chicago Bears lucky. I’ve been doing this for over a month and 1) it just didn’t matter and 2) it just wasn’t right anymore. Bears 5-1 with safe quarterback and elite defensive displays. This combination is a recipe for close matches, but winning 83% of their games doesn’t make them “lucky.”
• I’ve been hard on Philip Rivers, but he deserves what he deserves here. It wiped out a 21-0 deficit in the second quarter, falling 24-21 in the first half. He then got ponies to start the fourth quarter and ended up passing 371 yards. He beat the Bengals, not the Seahawks, but 20 minutes into the match I was sure we’d see Jacoby Brissett prepare on the sideline soon.
• Ron Rivera going two to win the match against New York made sense to me. In my view, he has an inferior team led by a lower midfielder who hangs out in the game. In those cases, do not prolong the game. Try to finish it as soon as possible. You could do this with one play from the 2-yard line, and the play was unsuccessful. People might do a big job about the play call, and sure, okay. But winning there makes sense.
