Thankful for players like Derrick Henry.

Really bringing the running game back to football in a big way.  

Ran for over 100 yards in just the first half alone.  Made history by having the must rush yards in a postseason game, only second behind Marcus Allen. 

He's just a bad dude, and wish that he played on my team.

He's a division rival, but it's hard not to appreciate his game. Finally glad the Titans aren't trying to split carries with him and the likes of Demarco Murray or Dion Lewis - just give Henry the ball and let him run through everyone.

Yeah, you can definitely say that Mike Vrabel has grown more comfortable with Derrick Henry as a full time back.  

He realized he didn't have to run a 3-back system that's so common around the  league.

I think the rotation was more to Mike Mularkey's thought process. Murray had a strong year behind that OL once, but nothing like what Henry is doing now.

Next few seasons will tell us how well Henry holds up, because this sort of running style tends to wear a guy down...

Guy ran for 182 yards and averaged 5.3 yards/carry against a defense that was historically good going into the game.  Like you said, you've gotta love a guy with this kind of game.  In a word: AWESOME!!

Henry has been incredible for sure but the Pats defense isn't historically good,  especially against the run..
