Folks will point to Derrick Henry's success rate at 3rd-and-short and 4th-and-short. Henry's running style staying high and his need to have space to build momentum isn't conducive to short yardage push plays. But Derrick Henry's goal line touchdown numbers in his career tell you he also shouldn't be this bad in Baltimore.

Henry's upright style limits short-yardage efficiency; line execution is the real problem.

Henry's running style—staying high and needing space to build momentum—is not conducive to short-yardage push plays, which explains his poor 3rd-and-short and 4th-and-short success rate in Baltimore. However, his career goal-line touchdown numbers suggest he shouldn't be performing this poorly; the issue is offensive line execution rather than Henry's ability, as the line needs to generate better push in those scenarios.
