Jonboy Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Interesting piece. Disagree with several of his observations, particularly about Byard. Not sure why most of the national guys still haven't picked up on the fact that he's going to be a true FS this year. He's also tweeting about the Titans today: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titaninpgh Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Benoit must have missed the several game-saving downfield catches that showed off Murray's hands last year. He isn't David Johnson or Christian Mccaffrey, but saying Murray can't play 3rd down is not grounded in evidence. His receiving and blocking skills are probably what are keeping Henry off the field. The way Henry moves down the line and bursts up field when he sees a crease or gets the edge is all the twitch I need to see.

I think he's a little off regarding Murray, Byard, and then no mention of LeShaun Sims at all. StephenIsLegend, and TeamBass 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyitsmeallen Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Lol Titans don't have a 3rd down back? Murray averaged 5.35YPA on 3rd down and in his 23 3rd down rushes he had 16 first downs and 2 TD Henry averaged 3.7YPA on 3rd down. In his 10 3rd down rushes he got 5 first downs and 1 TD. Did you watch any Titans games las year Mr. Benoit? Titansgoodluckcharm 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll read it later but his past articles on the Titans relied on public perception and showed no real effort to research. Does he still file his articles under the tag "deep dive"? Seems like he has a quota to meet and writes for an uninformed national audience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 He's correct....the Titans don't have a quality 3rd down RB. What they have is a pair of top-notch and potentially elite every-down RBs. Jonboy, IsntLifeFunny, and MadMax 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishTitansFan Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Benoit is a good analyst but he's completely off base re: Murray and Henry. He must mean a scat back in the sproles role rather than a back who is good in pass pro and receiving Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray is exactly the type of 3rd down back we need and I don't think I saw Henry drop a pass last year. Murray made catches that surprised me. I'll take our 2 all purpose back over a "quick twitch" guy who's gonna go down at 1st contact. We tried that and it sucked I remember Henry dropping a wide open pass late in the year, but that's the only one that comes to mind.

big2033 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Generally you want your 3rd down RB to be a change of pace ... he's right in saying that we don't have one right now.
