Derrick Henry and Lamar would be disgusting
Henry for a 2024 3rd rounder is a no brainer for me. Anything more than that and it feels dicey. Henry would really put teams in a bind trying to stay small to keep up with Lamar or go heavier knowing they need to bring down Henry.

Henry would be a perfect fit, but I can’t imagine this ever happening.
Just throwing this out there, but I'm not sure he's the "perfect fit" for the offense we currently operate. We run out of the gun/pistol pretty much exclusively, and I'm not sure that's best suited for Henry. Henry typically does better at of the I or single back when he can get forward momentum going before he gets the ball. We'd either have to put Lamar in under center a lot more, or Henry would have to adapt to our offense.

And I also have no idea if Henry has experience doing read-options or zone-reads.

Would be interesting to see. Not sure Lamar and Monken would have an issue with being under center more. Would open up more play action too.

Henry needs a heavy dose of stretch runs from under center or he isn’t gonna be anything special.

I’ve been advocating for more of this for years with Lamar

Because we Baltimore fans are used to a good defense with a crappy offense.

Men don’t change.

Also I found it funny seeing people say they wouldn’t give up a 3rd round pick for Derek Henry. If we could ship a 3rd and Gus or Bateman for Henry and a 5th I’d definitely do it. That would be so fun to watch. I’d rather have Henry than saquan tbh.

Titans hate us is the biggest reason it won’t happen tho lol

We need the third rounder to find the next Myles Boykin

There not winning a playoff game with gus and jus as your combo backs
I agree with this. Get out to a sizable lead then have Henry demoralize the defense in the 4th quarter. Would be fun to watch
