Derrick Henry Guarantees Todd Monken Will Talk Trash Before Ravens-Browns Clash

Todd Monken spent three seasons as offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens before returning to Cleveland as the Browns' new head coach.

For two of those three seasons, Monken coached all-time great NFL running back Derrick Henry.

When speaking to reporters on Thursday, Henry pulled the curtain back on what he believes Monken is saying to his team ahead of this weekend's AFC North clash.

“He might not say it in the media, but to the team, he's definitely talking a lot of trash and letting them know he wants to beat us," Henry said with a smile.

"He's got them rolling over there."

Henry, 32, has been excellent to open up his 11th NFL campaign. Through the first five games of the year, he has 476 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns to go along with 62 receiving yards and an additional score through the air.

The Ravens are 4-1 following Sunday night's overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Monken and the Browns dropped to 3-2 with a Week 5 loss to the New York Jets.

Sunday's Ravens-Browns matchup will kick off at 1 p.m. ET.
