Lol pay you tuition? Always looking for a handout I assume… I asked you to go ahead and list the snap counts for 2nd and long and 3rd and short. But you didn’t do that because you quickly realized your point was ruined. McNichols played a lot of 2nd down snaps. Especially in the 2nd half and especially on 2nd and longs. It happened. Go back and look it up.
You are complaining about something not happening that did in fact happen. But don’t let facts get in the way of a keyboard Warrior!!
'Complaining about something not happening that did in fact happen.'
So again, that WAS Henry in the ballgame and NOT McNichols during multiple 3rd-and-short downs? We ALL saw that incorrectly? I'm complaining that Henry was NOT in the game during several 3rd and short plays, but according to you, that never happened. And *I'm* the one letting 'facts get in the way?'
So, speaking of 'facts,' which you appear to know nothing about, here's a list of all 2nd and 3rd-and-long down/distances throughout the game. I provide this not as any type of service to the argument, but rather to prevent you from claiming said information was never provided.

I say this does no service to the argument b/c what prompted my entrance into this debate was YOU making the idiotic claim below;
“The overuse of Derrick Henry must stop!”
“why are we taking Henry off the field on 3rd downs?”
Lol.
I correctly pointed out that these statements were NOT mutually exclusive, that it makes complete sense for one to A) be concerned about the overuse of BDH and 2) that BDH SHOULD be in the game on 3rd downs, SPECIFICALLY in 3rd-and-short downs. Your attempt to slide the goalposts further and further away from this initial stupidity is admirable, but otherwise pointless, as I have already pointed out multiple times within THIS very thread. It doesn't matter how many times McNichols or Sargent or Evans or anyone else WAS in the game, it matters that BDH WASN'T IN THE GAME WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THAT is the complaint here. H3ll, there's even an entire thread created about WHICH YOU ARE CURRENTLY PARTICIPATING IN!?!
Now, I typed this about as slow as I possibly could in hopes that my words have a chance to sink into that thick skull of yours. I realize that it must be embarrassing to be utterly destroyed on an internet message board but I assure you, in time it'll all be ok. Some one some day might even show up and remember some marginally clever quip you made once and appreciate you for that one memory, however insignificant it may be.
