Time will tell what those guys do...the 2014 draft RB's all sucked...Prosise maybe good because he is in Seattle...enough said. I get it, ya don't have to like exotic smash mouth, but Henry was the best with what they wanted to do...Hey, I hope the kid turns out amazing and proves us all wrong...we are long overdue@JR1980
Big back that went pick 90 overall with Excellent hands.
Jordan Howard went round 5
Paul Perkins round 5
See I honestly want every RB from last year gone. Would've been fine if we drafted two late and hope to hit instead of taking the more sure thing in Derrick Henry in the 2nd. We need so much at other positions. And that RB draft class next year looks sooo good.
I see your point...but I don't think Murray was ever the long term answer, and I think now they cut 2-3 RB's who have underachieved before. Think of it this way, at least we are good at RB this year...maybe next. Or if the class is deep next year, we grab another late round to go with Henry and cut Murray and he cap if needed. I think next draft we can cut it loose and take more chances. We have two 1sts and 2 thirds which is awesome too!I also feel that since we just got Murray we really didn't need to invest in another high level RB with a 2nd rounder at this time.
But Erotic Smash Mouth here we come!
Lol tell me about it...I don't even care what his opinion is or how he thinks he will do honestly...It's the negative talk with zero knowledge or credibility.....Ya dig Brave?!JR out here pissing in the wind
Meh, stupid people all over the place, can't care what they all think.Lol tell me about it...I don't even care what his opinion is or how he thinks he will do honestly...It's the negative talk with zero knowledge or credibility.....Ya dig Brave?!
You should stick to analyzing buttholes and wieners.You missed the part where I also am right on the ones that don't bust.
BUT... if you can be me, I'd try my best to do that. Don't sell yourself short.
My gut feeling is that he was seriously in a scheme that didn't fit him at all. It showed for "one" seasonI'm not couting on Murray. I'm glad we got him for free almost, we desperately needed an upgrade at RB, but everyone I talk to (non Titan fans) all believe he's burned out.
And I'm not one to be influenced easily, but I think everyone of them is right.
I have mixed feelings on him, he was also hurt FWIWMy gut feeling is that he was seriously in a scheme that didn't fit him at all. It showed for "one" season
I have very little faith in Mularkey, throwing that out there right now. But having 2 big powerful backs definitely fits the mold of what he’s looking to do. If the OL can actually provide some run blocking, it’ll help wear the D down and really open up the play action. I don’t have faith in the coaches executing, but the plan they have isn’t a bad one.But when I turn on his film, and when I saw him play in person, he's an absolute menace to other teams. You could see other teams wear out through the game and just get exhausted of tackling him. Yet he looked completely unfazed. He just kept going like he was completely fresh, despite carrying the rock 30+ times. That's stuff you can't coach and size that you can't find many places.
Arian Foster has been running over the Titans defense for years with his 1 cut down hill style. Plenty of backs in the NFL who are 1 cut backs, and very successful. Who knows what kind of back Henry will be? He can't be any worse than what was on the team last season.So he left 55 yards on the field because he wanted to hit someone. Lovely.
All are one cut and play-side runs. No one denies Henry can make the one cut play-side run. If he didn't he wouldn't have been drafted until the third day. What I worry about is his ability to sift through the line and make it to the backside hole without having to turn his entire body.
He goes backside on this one. Too bad he has to stop his momentum, turn his entire body, and then begin to accelerate. That takes time that doesn't exist in the NFL.
Spot on....Exactly what I've been saying.Arian Foster has been running over the Titans defense for years with his 1 cut down hill style.

JR had 3 2nd round picks, and the Heisman trophy winner was sitting there when he made his third pick of the round. He was projected by most analysts and scouts to be a second round pick. Murray is 28 and had a miserable season last year. If he has another season like last year, what was the backup plan? Cobb, Sankey, Andrews? I get why he made the pick. The value was there. He doesn't have a 2nd next season, and there aren't too many 1st round running backs drafted anymore.
Are we running the Texans'/Broncos' one-cut zone scheme? No, we're running a man scheme. If the o-line doesn't do their job and create a hole where it is designed to go the play will be over because Henry can't go outside of the Xs and Os and make a play.Arian Foster has been running over the Titans defense for years with his 1 cut down hill style.

Robinson passed on him twice. I don't doubt it was one of those "well if no one else is going to take a guy that big and fast I'll do it and hope for the best" situations.JR had 3 2nd round picks, and the Heisman trophy winner was sitting there when he made his third pick of the round.

Suck and take one of the much more talented backs in the first round next year.If he has another season like last year, what was the backup plan? Cobb, Sankey, Andrews?
I get that you aren't a Henry fan. I am not a Bama fan myself, but the guy did get it done in college. The track record for Alabama running backs is about as bad as the track record for Vols receivers. I don't know if he will be the next Eddie George, or the next Ron Dayne. He is big, he is fast, and he was successful in the best division in college football. I think he has the ability to be a good back. Murray is also a 1 cut runner btw. So was Turner when Mularkey was the OC in Atlanta.Are we running the Texans'/Broncos' one-cut zone scheme? No, we're running a man scheme. If the o-line doesn't do their job and create a hole where it is designed to go the play will be over because Henry can't go outside of the Xs and Os and make a play.

in a word. Awful.Maybe I'm not a big enough NCAA fan but all this talk of positonal track record by program is meaningless to me. How's the track record of Oregon QBs?
And how do you feel about Mariota?in a word. Awful.
