is brown going to play, henry???, will white do anything

Well Brown has said he's ready to play, so I'm guessing Brown is the starter with Henry spelling him. White will probably be inactive, unless he takes Ganther's spot on ST.

IMO, if we want a better chance of winning, we go with Henry.

IMO, if we want a better chance of winning, we go with Brown. He gets better production than Henry.

Henry will get the first play and technically be the starter. Brown will get plenty of carries though to make him happy, so he doesn't kick the ground and break an ankle.

brown will start, but wont finish. nothing new.

Brown starts, gets spelled by Henry. White will get a couple of carries

It's week four, do you know where your running back is?? :)

Ok, so explain to me to those of you who think White should NOT be in there getting substantially more carries, why other teams allow rookie running backs to have more of a role in the offense than the Titans. I say we give White at least 10-12 carries this week depending on how productive he is. Brown will be out with an injury after his 3rd carry, and Henry will be ordinary or unimpressive as usual.

I have begun to enjoy guessing just how long until C. Brown goes out with a injury. :grrhee:This week, assuming he plays at all, I will say mid 3rd. He will also have at least 2 8-12 yard runs and about 8 0-2 yard runs. For just about lets say 34 yards on 10 carries.

Henry and White have about the same probability of getting hurt IMO.
The reason White doesn't get more carries is because he hasn't earned them. He probally doesn't have a full grasp of his assignments in passing situations and he hasn't exactly shown much when he has carried the ball.

Last game Henry looked pretty good for the first half or so so I'm sure they wanted to see if that could continue. Also, 9 or Henry's 21 carries were for 1 yard or less last week incase you didn't know.

anyone think that White doesn't know his blocking assignments yets. Until he does he won't play much. Its bad enough the OL lets Collins :moon2: get sacked :grrhee: but to have a RB who doesn't know what to do is even worse. Did White even have to block at USC?

True, but as far as talent, ability, toughness, White is the answer. So I guess White is the only rookie RB in the league who doesn't have his blocking assignments completely down the first year. Bottom line is, the guy has to get in there and learn through 'in game' situations. Just like Young isn't quite ready yet either. Sorry, I don't buy it. :irked:

Did I say he wasn't starting becasue of his talent, ability or toughness...don't think so:moon2:

so throw White in there and let him get the QB (Collins or Young) sacked/hurt because he doesn't know his assignments...yeah that makes a lot of sense.

Addai isn't the starter in Indy and I'm not sure of Maroney is in NE either.

They both average less than 3.5 ypc, does it really matter who you throw in there? Especially against the #5 defense in the league.:):):)

j/k

I think Henry should be the starter, just because he has shown signs of life in the past. He could play well this sunday. When your OL finally gets 100% healthy i think Henry could produce very well, but since your line is banged up this Sunday, does it really matter which one starts? I mean they are both gonna play, and they both will most likely have trouble running behind a make-shift OL.
Im gonna just guess and say Henry starts

Brown will start and be out by his third touch. If his first run happens to be over 20 yards long, he may stay out the entire half. If Young plays much, I think we will see more of White. I don't know, but it seems that they like putting White with Young a lot. Hopefully Hall will be back to help block in the backfield. He is questionable also though.

Whatever dude. Then I say put him in there on running plays only if you are so concerned about him not protecting the QB. Didn't he play for Coach Chow at USC? There must be some overlap with playcalls that would allow him to get a grasp on what his responsibilities are. Why doesn't he know his assignments? What's the problem here.

Bottom line is Henry sux. Hasn''t done anything in like 3 years now, and forget about delicate, injury prone Brown.

Addai isn't the starter in Indy and I'm not sure of Maroney is in NE either.

Who cares if these rookies are starters or not. They are all getting their fair share of carries, White is non-existent.

Bush 34 carries

Addai 23 carries

Maroney 45 carries

White 9 carries

Travis Henry 30 carries/82 yards for a 2.7 yrd average
:lol2:

I think Fisher REALLY wants his RB to be Henry. He's gushed over how "hard" he's run a number of times. To my mind, anybody we put out there is going to have a tough time. Our line wasn't performing that well to begin with, and now they're banged up??

Recipe for a lot of Collins incompletions if you ask me.

you tell me what his problem is. If he was doing his job or knew his blocking assignments then he would be playing. Guess he doesn't. That is simple to figure out.

The problem is Fisher. He is obsessed with sitting certain rookies and has them stand on the sidelines for their first year. I don't see other teams shying away from playing rookies. Just like they were afraid to throw deep passes, take a chance, it's not like the team could get any worse. :bonk2:

Hey dude,

I am wondering if you have private access to Titans pratices to see if White is doing his job or not. OR are you just reading what is posted on some web blog or local newspaper.

I can agree with most of that.

if he was doing his job chances are he would be playing more.

No one has bothered to say whether White had to block in college. I don't know, did he or not

Well..who do you think was blocking on pass routes? Bush? Come on dude, of course he blocked for Leinart, White is a beast. >:(

I'll ask again.. It's week 4, 25% of the season will be done, do you know where your running back is?

I didn't watch him play. I only know that he ran the ball per highlights, etc. That is why I asked if he blocked.
Beast in college doesn't equal beast in the NFL

bush was split out wide a lot, so i would guess white was blocking.

Well, at least I'm pretty sure he will play through a hang nail unlike someone else on the team, I won't mention any names but his initials are Chris Brown.

BigTitan is onto something here (good post dude). Yeah, Bush WAS split out on plays quite a bit. Which means White was in there watching Leinarts back. And from what I remember, he did a fair job of it.

I'll ask again.. It's week 4, 25% of the season will be done, do you know where your running back is?

For short yardage I say we line up Albert Haynesworth in the backfield. jzcowboy I want to see your Cowboys stop him on 4th and inches. Good luck.

White hasn't proven anything yet. On the field he has been a dissapointment the few times he has carried the ball. Doesn't show a great burst or power and he sure doesn't look elusive. If he were anything like Eddie George we would have seen it by now. He has been hurt alot as well.

When White was drafted he had an injury, look, he hasnt had a consistent chance to play, and to say henry and brown are better than him isnt saying much, if you want to make the cast that White isnt any good because he hasnt been showing "Eddie George" like running, lets just go now and say Vince Young hasnt shown anyone a "Steve McNair" like plays and rule both of these picks a bust, or are you going to say "give Vince Time", well if youre going to say that, you have to give White time

Couldn't have said it better myself LT21Titans27. The guy (White) has a measly 9 carries, and Fisher only brings him in when the game is pretty much out of reach for a play or two. Answer me a question SOXCAT, how is he supposed to be productive and get into any sort of groove running one play at a time. It's amazing how people in here talk like they have any clue about anything, wow. If Fisher wanted to save his job he'd be smart and gradually start playing White more and get him involved with the offense, without a running game this team will have NO SUCCESS throwing the ball no matter who's in at QB.

Amen brother!

I mean dayum, Jerious Norwood gets more carries, Maurice Drew gets more carries, all RBs drafted AFTER White do. Jeff Fisher stinks

At least we know White will play with attitude and grit, unlike half this team

White's scouting report (http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/2006/white_lendale)

This says he can block. I don't think some of you realize just what a freakin' steal he was to fall to us. Why rush his development when we have two decent backs that are ready to go?

White's scouting report (http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/2006/white_lendale)

There are plenty of negative points on Brown and Henry both, I myself favor Henry because I like the kind of back he is. (style) White is the future. That is for sure. I think it is good that White sees such limited action. We do not want to injury-decimate this team this season. I think Fisher has job security and isn't going to make rash personnel decisions in an effort to "save himself". This reasoning is further evidenced by the conservative decision to bring Young along slowly and try to win with Collins. I really hate Collins, but when he's in the game I cheer for him because I want so badly to see us win some games...

Grumble all you want people, but I'd like you to rewind in your mind to the end of the Eddie George era. Didn't it seem like they were never going to play Chris Brown? I remember looking at poor dinged Eddie running for 2 yards on 6 carries and saying to myself, wtf? Play the new guy already. Read the scouting report. Look at the grades. They say he's not quite there. We have a surplus at RB. Had a TALENT, and that is what this is about... had that kind of talent not fallen that far... far enough to give us value at #2... I promise you there is NO WAY we would have taken a RB.

I would have like to seen us take a safety. No, the coaches made a mistake when they didn't break out a highlighter and double underline that on their draft needs reports that Reese used for his board... but with our cap money tied up the way it is.. what's that? 12 million dead money? Something like that? We are so playing for next year it is not even funny. Adams is well aware of our state of affairs. It is a DIRECT result of numerous playoff runs from '99-'03... so grow up if the little baby inside is spitting up all over it's two tone blue bib.

OMG...Gunny is in Australia? You should stick with austrailan rules football.

How about White hasn't earned more carries. His work ethic is being questioned and the coaching stafff isn't going to just let the kid start because you think he should. Besides, if he showed a little burst or power or something special when he did carry the ball maybe the coaches would have a reason to play him. From their point of view he isn't their best choice right now.

more like a minion.

I thought the two times he did carry it he showed a burst and some power. The 1999 version of Eddie George couldn't run behind our O-Line.

More of a Titans fan than I am? Hmm..ok..then I guess like me you have been a true fan and have been following them before I did in 1979?

due to the fact I wasn't born in 1979.

Do you wake up at 3am to listen to them, not watch. Listen to them.
