Also I can’t tell if henry said “appreciate it, earl” or “eat shit, earl” during the postgame interview. Anyone else catch it? I assume it’s gotta be the former.
guess I missed Earl Thomas talking about how the Patriots didn't seem too eager about tackling Henry but the Ravens have a different mindset lol
Patriots and Ravens are the class of the NFL could argue the Steelers/Packers/Seahawks/Saints are in that mix as top tier organizations as well? At any rate, we are on a pretty amazing run here
was a pretty dang good pass by Henry. Put it right where only Davis could get it. Earl Thomas crashed down just a bit too far to make a play Mariota was open too. Fucking love that play call
I would expect some wild cat going forward. An extra tight end with Blasingame as a lead blocker. I remember James Franklin once said that when something is on tape teams have no choice but to prepare for it. So sometimes it is worth running a weird trick play simply because teams have to keep that stuff in the back of their minds as a possibility. I would love to see some Henry runs on direct snaps Blasingame was a really nice addition by Robinson. Signed him off the Minnesota practice squad
we want to play the Chiefs right? Texans have our number when at full strength and Reid is a total choke artist as a HC
Conklin was 8th and Lewan 10th in ESPNs OT rankings for pass block win rate. Besides us only the Ravens had both tackles in the top 10 As a team we were 4th. This OL paved the way for a rushing leader and ranks as elite in pass protection I'll take that
good preview linked below Ravens loaded the box with 8 or more defenders on 63% of Henry's carries 124 yards with 8+ defenders in the box, most by anyone in a game all year https://www.footballoutsiders.com/game-previews/2020/afc-championship-preview-2020
Seems less than ideal to give Henry and company bulletin board material right now. "He's not hard to hit," Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark told NFL Network on Friday. "He's just a big guy. 240, 245, 250 [pounds]; honestly, he should be running harder at his weight and at his size. I don't see no difficulty in tackling him ... He's just easy to me up front because I don't look at any running back like they can't be tackled. He's not one of the best guys at breaking tackles to me, honestly."
Henry had the 2nd most (I believe) rushing YAC in the league but he's not one of the best at breaking tackles.....
