Don't care what people say, if I put Adrian Peterson aside for a moment, Henry is the best HB since prime Tomlinson.:manny:.

I aint even gonna dance around it, fukk the bullshyt----->he's squarely in the All-Time conversation now, and at a level where we can start discussing him and Peak AD...

Not "approaching" a level we can talk about him and Peak AD, he's there...

And no, not ahead of AD overall yet because AD has a whole career that The King gotta match. But his peak right now, this is Peak AD comparable...

And when I say All-Time, I'm not talking Top 10 yet, like AD those guys have time put in that Henry aint got yet. But once you get beyond the GOAT 15 or so, and when you're talking in a peak-for-peak context, it's time to start having this conversation. His run in the last 2.25 seasons is clearly and obviously on run with anyone's 2-year stretch...

Henry is a man among men and has to be strong as an ox to make grown men go down like this. I've been intrigued since first hearing about him in high school breaking all sorts of records. Being that size i figured he wouldn't be as fast as he is and i'm glad that Alabama kept him at running back. He could have went somewhere else and they would have tried to get fancy and put him on the defensive line or something. But he's proven that he is a legit RB heading to an all time great career barring an injury or decline from being a workhorse.

Funny thing is, he's all in nikkas head with these highlights. I'm talking bout the players.

Truth is, he should be more appealing to tackle than a 5'10" RB.

If you played defense you know how hard it is to hit those short rbs who run low. You get nothing but pads and knees.

With Henry, he runs upright and has a lot of body to hit. Problem is he's in players heads and they pause. Giving him a chance to stiff arm him.

I'd be coming in like a missile aiming for a leg.

He's great at the moment but defenders going figure it out and start punishing him. His body going take a beating if he don't get those pads down.

facts

it's the db's that understandably catch the most hell from him

titans do a great job of getting him into that space where he's got the advantage over significantly lighter defenders

Someone going come in and lay him out with a big blow to the body and it's going start a landslide. Someone like a Jamal Adams. Then all the other defenders going to :ohhh:.
