NFC 3 Up (Week 1):
#GoPackGo Great way to start the Micah Parsons era, as Pack beat Detroit, in Lambeau, for the first time since 2021
#WeAreTheKrewe Emeka Egbuka: OROY?
#RaiseHail Deebo shines in WAS debut (146 all-purpose yards, 1 TD)
not only do I still believe this is the greatest goal ever scored but it never really gets talked about that ovechkin did this in only his 44th (!!) game of his nhl career. bro was a ROOKIE doing acrobatics on the ice in front of wayne gretzky lmao
Derrick Henry’s path to the NFL record isn’t as crazy as a lot of people seem to think.
The assumption is that Henry needs to average 1,300+ yards a season for the next 4 seasons for a chance to break the record, assuming he has 4 years left at best.
I think the most realistic path to the record isn’t to maintain insane rushing production at his age for 4 more seasons.
It’s the Frank Gore path.
Frank Gore played until he was 37. That would be 6 additional seasons for Henry. He would need to average 890 yards over 6 seasons to break the record.
Between the ages of 32-37, Frank Gore amassed 4,927 yards in 93 games. That’s good for 821 yards per season.
Henry would need to put up 70 yards more per season than Frank Gore did. Having an extra game per season than Gore did already makes that much more achievable.
The path I see for Henry is:
- 3 more productive seasons (1,000-1,300 yards)
- 3 seasons with reduced, but moderate production (600-800 yards)
Essentially, if he has 3 seasons where he averages 1,100 yards and 3 seasons where he averages 700 yards, he’s breaking the record.
With the news of today’s trade, it looks like Bruce Smith (171.0) and Michael Strahan (141.5) will maintain the 1st & 2nd spots for most official sacks with 1 team.
