In week one of the season, the Ravens faced off against the Kansas City Chiefs. What could have been a monumental win slipped through our fingers due to one small but crucial detail. Isaiah Likely, our talented tight end, was this close to securing the game-changing play we desperately needed. However, the question that’s burning in everyone’s mind is: how are Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry going to mesh?
This offseason, the Ravens were handed a golden opportunity, especially with the addition of Henry. The eight-year veteran comes with an impressive resume. During his time with the Tennessee Titans, Henry was the cornerstone of the offense, consistently leading the NFL in rushing yards despite not always having the best supporting cast. Now in Baltimore, things are different. The Ravens’ offense revolves around Lamar Jackson, a two-time league MVP, and this was evident during the duo’s debut on the Rich Eisen Show.
Former quarterback and analyst Kurt Warner weighed in on the partnership, acknowledging that there’s still a lot to figure out. Blending Lamar’s explosive style with Henry’s powerhouse running game is, in his words, still a work in progress. The question now for Ravens fans is: can this dynamic duo become the most lethal in the NFL, or are there still doubts?
The game against the Chiefs raised some questions. Henry, despite scoring a touchdown on the opening drive, only played 46% of the snaps, while lesser-known Justice Hill saw more action with 54% of the snaps and ended up with more yards. To make things even more interesting, Lamar Jackson rushed 16 times for 122 yards – his highest total since 2020. Is it the Ravens’ system that’s holding Henry back, or does he just need more time to adjust?
Warner made an interesting comparison to Adrian Peterson, another legendary running back who struggled when transitioning to a new offensive system. But there’s good news for Baltimore – this offense has already proven it can be highly effective. If Henry can adapt, he could be the luxury piece that makes the Ravens’ attack even more unpredictable.
So, what do you think, Ravens fans? Will Derrick Henry be the difference maker we’ve been waiting for?
