Stephen A. started the topic, asking Henry directly why he was fumbling the ball so much.
“Derrick Henry, what is going on?” Stephen A. said.
From there, Canty chimed in with his opinion about Henry’s recent struggles.
“You can’t trust him, Stephen A!” Canty said.
“You can’t trust him with the ball right now.”
That response left Stephen A. furious.
He said that Henry is too good of a player to be analyzed like that.
“You can trust him with the ball! Don’t go that far,” Stephen A. replied.
“You can’t say that about King Henry.”
Stephen A. went on describe how he thinks the problem will resolve itself.
“Listen, fumbles happen. He’ll fix it,” Stephen A. continued.
“He’s Derrick Henry. See, if I was him I’d be very upset with you. I’d be very upset with you right now!
“Because I’m like ‘Wait a minute. I know I gotta be accountable, I fumbled over the last three games, I understand it.’”
Stephen A. continued to berate Canty’s opinion, offering up a strategy for how to get Henry right.
“What do they do with every other position?” Stephen A. said.

“Here’s the ball, they keep giving it to you. Work through it!”
Canty went on to counter, saying the Ravens had under 100 yards for two consecutive games for the first time since Henry signed with the team.
From there, the argument got explosive, with the two First Take stars borderline screaming at each other.
Kimberley A. Martin was even forced to ask them to “turn the volume down” at the end of the argument.
