Whereas if Henry runs it 25+, there will probably be 2 or 3 really great events, events which will enhance their chances of winning games. Thus he goes with what is going to give his team the best chance to win a game, make the playoffs and perhaps win a SB. If the running back gets hurt, well thems the breaks, it is the NFL afterall.
Our coach, appears to eschew wins, playoffs, and potential SB's because, well I guess because in the long view, 51 pass attempts from a mid level QB provides better odds of winning games than does 25 runs by what is perhaps the leagues best back, at least the 2nd best.
Makes sense, lots of it.
