"We try to be smart as we prepare. Nobody prepares for the rigors of the season more than Derrick. I'm not going to say that Derrick is the hardest working player in football; I wouldn't do that to the players around this league. But I can't imagine that any of them work harder Brooks Orpik Jersey than he does, and he understands that, and the toll that he is going to take."Henry became the eighth running back to pa s the 2,000-yard barrier in a season. Eric Dickerson set the rushing record at 2,105 yards in 1984, which hasn't been touched.The previous seven haven't come close to hitting Ilya Samsonov Jersey back-to-back 2,000-yard seasons. Barry Sanders had the most yards in a follow-up 2K season when he went for 1,491 in 1998.With an added 17th game this season, in the future.

Vrabel, however, kidded season ticket holders concerned about that workload."You can't have it both ways," Vrabel said. "You can't want 2,000 yards, and then have him standing next to me."Added the coach: "We'll always try to do Jaromir Jagr Jersey what is best for the team, and what is best for Derrick. Just be smart and make sure he is communicating with us and how he feels, and we're evaluating his performance."At this point, there is no one on the Titans' roster who should threaten King Henry for touches. He'll remain the NFL's top workhorse so long as injury doesn't strike for an RB who has mi sed just two games in his entire career.
