Oh, well if that’s the metric, Tennessee made the right call. Hilliard 6.3 YPC.Henry 4.3 YPC
Foreman 4.3 YPC
Tell me again how its worth paying henry more than any other back in the NFL.
Making a RB your identity is dumb tho lolBut we don’t have a Rogers or Maholmes. We committed to making Henry our identity, which was working when we had a decent o-line. By your own argument, it’s like saying well if you have an elite quarterback, you don’t need above average receivers. Brady is like the one exception to the rule.
It’s not exciting. I think that’s different than dumb.Making a RB your identity is dumb tho lol
And I think identity is running the ball, forcing an opponent to over power your team, not just a single RB necessarily.
Unfortunately, the titans are not playing well at their own identity,

That's my whole point, a RB is only as good as their line. Invest in the line not the back.He had some good seasons behind those guys. Problem is that none of those guys have been too available this season. Lewan gets more brittle every season, and Jones is showing signs of age as well. The OL right now cannot block for either the run or the pass, which is part of why Henry has struggled (coupled with what I think is a loss of a step...not unexpected after all of his carries at Bama and now here), and why Tannehill now has two banged up ankles.
Oh well another week of hanging my head in shame as a titans fan.
When's the last time a running team has won a Superbowl thoIt’s not it’s exciting. I think that’s different than dumb.

We have spent a decade using 1st rd picks and FAs to get a decent line and here we areThat's my whole point, a RB is only as good as their line. Invest in the line not the back.
I think there’s a little give and take there.That's my whole point, a RB is only as good as their line. Invest in the line not the back.
I’m pretty sure people can see extraordinary talent at RB. For example, Henry is only 1 of 8 guys in the 100+ years of the game to reach 2K. He was on pace to do it twice.
But I agree, it certainly doesn’t do any good to throw money at a RB if you’re not also willing to throw money at the guys that help him be his most successful.

Oh true lol well they’re the worst team in the NFL but watching the Titans sometimes makes me feel like the Titans areYou mean the Jags? We already beat Houston.
Just imagine if this team could beat a winning team.. We'd be in Heaven right now with our remaining schedule.
Not according to JRob and Vrabel.Making a RB your identity is dumb tho lol
DH22 should have been brought back earlier OR not brought back at allDH22 was rushed back and should not have stayed in that game but with how Tannehill played, I’m not so sure about that
Cocaine Bear !They should kick Daley off the plane. Somewhere over Kentucky.
DH22 should have been brought back earlier OR not brought back at all
Was it even possible to be bought back earlier.
Here’s a dumb question. Where the hell is Philips? Titans need a spark on O, anything. Try something/someone new. Especially with Burks out now. As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different results is so ignorant and stupid. I see the Jags whooping this team next week, and then the wheels really fall off.
yes... could have been back w16 & or w17Was it even possible to be bought back earlier.
FWIW for anyone who did not listen to vrable post game... Titans are NOT changing O will be working on execution & that apparently is the coaches job to make sure that happens...

I get the point you’re trying to make and the game has changed today where running backs are no longer the focus of an offense anymore. But my point was DH22 wasn’t just another good dime a dozen back, you can make the argument he was the best running back of his generation. But when we first committed to making DH22 our identity, we had a decent o-line and AJ Brown, so it was all working out just fine. Now the o-line sucks and we don’t have AJ anymore, and we’re stuck with DH22 (who probably has 1 more good year left, maybe 2 at best), and we didn’t really address getting your best offensive player some help in the off-season.
