McNair Says Young Needs Strong Running Game

I love Steve, If the Titans don't make it to the playoffs, I'll be rooting for Steve and the Ravens all the way

 

I'm just wanting to see which RB will lead us into the season.

 

I think top 3 is actually quite possible. I see the Chargers and Falcons as two that might get more yards on the ground.

 

I really hope going into next year we are pushing to sign Brown to a long term deal meaning Brown plays the way he should this year and proves everyone wrong including me that he can play a full season.

 

I don't disagree with what you are saying and I respect what you are saying and things could turn out well despite losing Henry.

The logic however behind saying that just because things turned out far different one year from how we perceived them in pre-season is a basis for how they will turn out this year is flawed.

The Titans in 2006 were in search of someone to be our next "Eddie George", a guy who could give us a solid run game. To that end we used a 3rd round draft pick on T. Henry the year prior, we had Brown but with questions about his durability and we drafted White. We started the year out not really sure who was going to step up and take that role (similar to this year). In a way we got lucky because the guy we didn't trade for a 5th round pick ended up being what we were looking for. We had our guy. The guy we were looking for and we let him go. Everyone keeps saying they wouldn't have paid Henry the 8 mil but that was not unreasonable for a quality #1 RB in the NFL. Now the search starts again. Who will step up. Instead of having the sure thing in the bank and using a 2nd round pick on a different position we use a 2nd rounder for the second year in a row and now we hope the pick wasn't in vain. Is it possible one of these guys can be the next "Travis Henry". Sure it is possible. But we already had a guy who worked his arse off, demonstrated he can get the job done and actually helped us stay competitive and win 8 games. It was bad judgement IMO on the part of the FO. They probably thought Henry would re-sign / restructure for way lower than what his market value was. They also under estimated the immaturity of LW. IMO Henry was well worth keeping at his previous contract, not having to use another 2nd round pick on a RB and we also would not been in a position to literally have to re-sign Brown. I personally don't think the Broncos are the dumbest organization in the NFL and they gave Henry more money to give suppport to their second year QB. Either they were really stupid or we were. Right now they are going into the season without major concerns about their running game, we are.

 

I think Mcnair should be more concerned with his own team, and trying to stay on top of the Ratbirds QB depth chart for the entire season.

The fact is nobody knows how our running game will turn out this season. I am not sweating it at this point in the offseason prior to training camp. We have people with potential, just like last season.

I liked Steve. I hate the Ravens. I hope they lose every game this season and have the worst passing offense in the league. Sorry if that doesn't show loyalty to former Titans players, but I really don't care.

 

The running game depends on Chris Brown. If he plays as fragile as in the past, we're in trouble. But if he can stay on the field, we're in real good shape.
