From the episode

You have the perfect running back for it in Derrick Henry. I thought they looked good... they were doing some interesting stuff with Matthew Hibner specifically with a lot of their zone run stuff.

Derrick Henry is a perfect fit for the Ravens' new outside zone-heavy scheme

Derrick Henry is the perfect fit for the Ravens' new outside zone-heavy scheme, which saw a 20% increase in usage compared to last year. The team is effectively using tight end Matthew Hibner as a lead blocker on cutback runs, creating explosive opportunities for Henry, who looked dominant against the Colts' defense.
