They thrashed the idea that you need to get a running back 20 carries before he gets going before saying this probably actually is the case with Henry. He always eventually breaks one. they also said it’s fine giving Henry carries when you’re behind as long as you stop the other team on defense The guy is definitely an analytics buster.

Davis especially. Brewer has also been a disaster in limited snaps Jones has been ok but Davis has had some horrific missed assignments that almost got Tannehill killed. There were many of us here that were pointing out pre-draft that age/injury was going to be a major concern regarding the IOL this year. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) 6 hours ago, Mythos27 said: Without that big 60+ yard run his YPC for that game would've been 3.5. And btw, in that first half he had 13 carries for 35 yards (2.7) ypc. That's dog shit by anyone's standards. Not a single carry netted more than 8 yards. How about you take your own advice. 4+ yards is considered a positive run. Even so I included the 3rd quarter runs by mistake. 13 for 35 in 1st half. Not great but the average was skewed by a few runs of no gain and one for-2. Edited September 23, 2021 by oldschool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldschool, 2. anything yards per carry is trash. You know this. The running game wasn't effective until Henry went off for 60 yards. Your whole thing this week has been that Tannehill kept us in the game and until Henry did his thing and I agree with you. So why are you disagreeing that the running game was ineffective in the first half (and honestly for most of the game)? Callidus 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewer is decent, but physically limited with really short arms. I really worry if he plays this week against Buckner. Mythos27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudsOilers Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 The Titans moved the ball all game long with a good mix of run and pass. Sure, the 60 yard run skews the running stats and obviously was a huge play getting them back within one score. But they had already started running it well prior to that as Seattle adjusted the defense because of the crossers that were killing them with Jones. If the Titans don't bog down in the RZ 3 times and miss a FG, they could have had 40 plus points. japan, and oldschool 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why are you disagreeing that the running game was ineffective in the first half (and honestly for most of the game)? I was looking at a modified data set of henry runs on the scoring drives. my bad. However its still not accurate that Henry wasn't rushing the ball well until the 60 yard run. They had a bad 1st quarter but from the 2nd quarter on the run game was pretty good. see below. Derrick runs by quarter 1st 1/5 success rate 1 -2 2 7 0 2nd 5/9 success rate 1 4 7 3 2 4 8 4 1 3rd 5/8 success rate 11 3 4 -2 9 TD 2 6 7 0 4th 7/10 success rate 60 TD 3 6 0 5 3 8 4 4 1 TD OT 4/6 success rate 6 0 12 4 1 4 Edited September 23, 2021 by oldschool Mythos27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother had a breakthrough case and like them had a few days of symptoms but did not feel like himself until a month later. I do think the performance against the Cardinals had a lot to do with missing time due to COVID Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongo59 Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Landry has faced to subpar OT..........I think that is a big factor. Landry is like Morgan. Nice player but he is not worth the price of his position group. Doogie 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongo59 Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 I think TN OL went from a possible strength to a big weakness fast. Lewan performance cost them week one. The fact that Henry got 2K with this group is astounding. They need to draft a ton of OL next yr. I'd be OK with them signing some OL to help Henry. You give this RB a real OL right now and I think the conversation is him and Jim Brown. That is how good Henry is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, link since I know you all like sources. Also, instead of attacking me I would like a response to my question since the President of the United States said you cant get Covid if vaxxed. Thanks! https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-joe-biden-spread-misinformation-covid-vaccines-1612181 Well Biden is well known for his gaffes. He was basically fine until he said "you won't get covid". I get what he was trying to say given that breakthrough infections are pretty rare but he needs to be more careful/accurate with his words as President.
