Raven's sign Derrick Henry

NYSteel said:
The Ravens getting Henry is a good move for them, in my opinion.

The equation that everyone is trying to solve in the AFC, is how do you beat the Chiefs??

They are back-to-back champs, and they don't look like they will be slowing down. Right now, nobody is looking at the Steelers saying, whoa, how are we going to beat these guys??

It's the Chiefs, Bills and Ravens for now. The one innovative wrinkle I've seen so far that could be effective, was the Bills' use of a 6-man O-line against KC. It was effective for a bit, and it impressed me. I expect many teams to explore the tactic. Kinda becomes a little more scary to me with the Ravens trying to run it with a guy like Henry. Don't know if they will, but they'd be fools not to try.

I will would think the Steelers took note as well.

I'm not sure if Henry is the athletic ever, but he is definitely good. I think AP and / or Bo jackson would be up there. Sanders wasn't as powerful, but his ability to go from 0-100 might not ever be matched.
The Ravens have been regular season darlings, but choked in the playoffs. Henry makes them better, but I would put Buffalo, KC, and a healthy Bengals team ahead. If KC gets some WRs, i don't see them losing anytime soon
 
Henry, Dobbins and Cook, two of the 3 could be washed up or they could have 3 RB that are better than Harris.

Doesn't scare me, either. He'll have his moments but not enough to move the needle for them IMO.

I'm not scared because we tend to bottle him up when we've played him (once during the season). Playing him twice will be a much greater challenge.

I'll add that the Ravens running game was already above average. They're elite now...
 
Dobbins has barely played due to injury and is 25. Cook didn't get a touch in championship game which says a lot but isn't definitive. Cook may be done.

Henry is a beast and adding him to Baltimore roster makes their O much better. He can run and catch, direct snap, throws the ball, a nightmare in short yardage and makes PA that much better. He is still outrunning DBs.

They let Edwards go to chargers. They have Henry and Mitchell under contract. Dobbins is a FA. They let their PR go.
