Especially once they have the first down, they're content with that often leaving 5+ yards on the field if they had just ran through the defender.. I personally hate it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 He doesn’t attack the hole. When he does attack hole his foot speed is way to slow. He’s never going to carry the load. He was scouted as nothing more than Brandon Jacobs. We need a running back out of everything that’s hurt this offense it’s been that position. Should have traded Murray when they had the chance for Ajyai Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't hit the hole any faster than Murray, and he won't lower his pad and truck defenders in the hole, so his size is mostly wasted. He's wants to be a scat back, but in the body of a power back. His stiff arm is awesome and if he bounces outside, watch out. His size definitely is an advantage when he's sprinting vertically because defenders have to think about how they're gonna bring him down. But imho, his style doesn't fit this offense as a full time starter. He's a situational back. I'd love to be wrong. I think if he decided he fucking hated everyone, he'd be a monster. As it stands, he's just too soft. Shorter version: Looks like Tarzan, plays like Janet Jackson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is past done. He gave up what could have been a brutal sack at the end of the game. He shouldn’t be anything other than a 3rd down back. Every single time he rushes on first down is an X mark against the staff. I love how we gave one single IZ to Henry and he went for 6, like he almost always does.

rns90 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Anyone have a clip of another bad Murray run? This is the one where there is a hole/lane to the left and he runs to the right instead and right into an OL. I think this may have been the run where Colligsworth said "I have no idea what DeMarco Murray was doing there". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how we gave one single IZ to Henry and he went for 6, like he almost always does. It's getting really frusturating. I understand it's tricky dealing with respected vets, but they have to make the move already. It's really hurting the offense. Henry is flawed but is very explosive, he might've scored on that run, seriously. I dont expect a single thing to change though & expect Murray to get an even bigger share of the carries after the long rest.

Face Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 37 minutes ago, Stan said: A faster back scores there. At worst has a 15-20 yard gain. It wasn't just his lack of speed though, it was the fact that he fucking spun right into the defender with a cavernous amount of room to run. I have no idea what he was looking at.

All he to be is aware of that defender and not run directly into his arms like the chick in Dirty Dancing running to Swazye. After that just follow dem blockers, son.

I imagine this happens a lot in every NFL game but it was highlighted last night due to the camera angle which is why I said on Friday we have to caution against over reacting. That being said, Murray appears healthy now and still lacks explosiveness. Personally I think Henry is soft and won't ever be legit starting RB but the team has to confirm that one way or the other and it would serve them do it over the last 6 games. Give him 20 carries a game and see if he can handle it. TitanTez, NashvilleNinja, and Btowner 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Titans279 Posted November 18, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 OMAN's been saying Murray is done for this whole season and giving Mularkey a pass for playing him so much because he can't criticize the coaches. Well, he won't criticize the offensive coaches at least. Jamalisms, IsntLifeFunny, titansfb, and 4 others 5 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
