Just thought I’d get a little frustration out. Howie saying during halftime, “Henry is now trending down” may not be verbatim but close enough. Now you guys tell me, is Henry’s lack of production this year because he’s trending down or that the o-line is second worse to only the Panthers. It just really got on my nerves, I thought it was a comment not very well thought through.
Derrick is still a top 10, fringe top 5 back with elite traits - but is he nowhere close to being as dominant as he was at his peak.
The o line sucks, but has provided him running lanes that he would’ve exploited in years past.
He’s turning 30 this year. He’s not as fast/ agile as he once was.
All three of these things are true. Howie is not wrong. He’s not saying derrick sucks, but the greats don’t stay great forever.
