think the big thing is that he's having a Sanders-esque season in an NFL that has prioritized the pass over the run.
I think Henry is a good person and a great running back, but him doing what he is doing in this era of the NFL actually makes it less impressive, because he’s doing it against defenses that are built to prioritize stopping the pass. I’m not saying he wouldn’t be equally great in a different era, just saying the pass-priority of this era isn’t a point in his favor.

This implies any decent back would have a good season, but the truth of the matter is that rules are in place to HELP the pass; those same rules aren't in place to help the run.
