SUMMARY: Titans rookie LB LenDale White may not be in uniform Sunday in the regular season opener. He is currently deal with an ankle injury which has slowed him at practice. Fisher said "we're definitely going to go with" Chris Brown and Travis Henry, and White will be evaluated later. "If he is struggling through (today)," Fisher said, "then I think the likelihood of him not being active increases."

Yea, slam Brown when White is the guy who hasn't been healthy this whole pre-season. Sure looks like White is anything but the next Eddie George as far as being able to stay healthy and get on the field. At this pace Brown looks like the more reliable of the two which isn't saying much for White.

Oh, anyone notice how White did on some of those short yardage plays where he didn't have blocking. I guess blocking makes a difference in short yardage after all.
 
Pee-uuuuww. Smells bad in here.

I guess the difference is you are ripping him for what he will do in the future where I am ripping on the other guy for his past. I just don't want to see our high pick rookie RB to further injur himself. Sorry. I didn't mean to insult your daddy.:wink2:

Good point. We should rest Lendale so he doesn't hurt himself while the real men (Brown and Henry) carry the ball Sunday. After all we don't want him to rip a hammy or further injure his ankle (sounds like the guy is soft to me). After all, he might be a real stud one day. Again, good point.

He very well may be. We do know that Brown can do well when healthy. Also it was posted that Collins checks down to the backs alot. If Brown releases off a pass block and gets the ball in space he can do some damage. The only thing is he needs to be is smart and get out of bounds. He's just not that kind of iron man back. When he's running inside he needs to run lower and keep his center of gravity more square. In other words I feel that Brown should play in a manner which he is conscientious of what is going on around him in an effort to preserve himself. Otherwise my off the cuff remark about the acl may come to fruitation. Thank you for the acknowledgment. That means alot coming from such a reputable poster like yourself.:yes:
 
White is gonna have to learn how to run in the NFL...He's a wide open, hit with everything you got kinda runner...That's good as far as it goes. But there's an art in learnig how to hand out the punishment rather than take it.

One of the (many) things that made Eddie George so good was he hurt you when you tackled him.
 
I wish people would stop using Eddie as a comparison, because there won't be another Eddie. While he may not be a HoF'er (I don't know if he will or not, I don't care much for the HoF) he was a very special player and they don't come around very often.

However, BP, you have to acknowledge the irony of the situation where many fans on this board wanted us to dump Brown, cos now the great saviour Lendale White had arrived, yet so far he's seen more time with trainers than with a football.

"Real" men? You sound bitter, take a break, log off. Have you ever played on a bad hamstring or a bad ankle; it's not easy, and certainly not smart in this situaion. Sounds soft to you? Injuries happen; for four years at USC, while taking the majority of the carries mind you, this hamstring injury that occured in the offseason was his first significant ding. That isn't soft, it's called playing the game of football, and injuries happen. This has nothing to do with being soft, it has everything to do with being smart. We have two very capable backs that could play, who are healthy and ready to go. Why risk it? You seem to have an agenda against White, otherwise, you should have more logic then this, because I know you're an intelligent poster on this board.

I can't speak for everyone, but my point was not if White will or will not be the next EG...The point was that Eddie dished out punishment...The ability to do that will result in better runs and less injury ( to the runner)

White needs to learn that lesson too

We have 3 backs right now that could probably start in the NFL. Henry and Brown already have proven that they can. Why rush LW. If we want this guy for the long haul why prolong his injury when he can sit. Yeah we want guys to be tough and play for us but what help will it do if he has a lingering injury that slows him for half the season because we rushed him back? It may not even be his choice.
 
fact is, he probably wouldnt have played much aside from special teams anyway. it's pretty hard to keep three tailbacks and a fullback active.
 
okay i say we just try to get Adrian Peterson next year or something that'll solve everything, ill tell my friend (JC Watts' son) to put in a good word for us...
