    FYI, Murray has fumbled twice, lost one. Henry has yet to fumble. Of course. Murray has more carries.

    I thought about that as well. The read option play in week 1 is a perfect example though of what I was saying. Marcus and Murray weren't on the same page on that play and it ended up in a scoop and score.

    But since then, they've had a lot more reps together and are much more comfortable. That was clearly evident in how confident both guys looked running the read option yesterday. Henry just hasn't had as many reps as Murray, and the chance of something bad happening would be more likely. It's not a knock on Henry by any means, just the simple fact that Murray has taken more game and practice reps makes him the better end of game option.

    My only concern was that he would get a knee torn up the way they were ganging up on the run at the end. Of course, I don't want that to happen to Henry either. Maybe we should have run Fowler some. He's tough. Just a concern.

    There is no carry distribution to discuss when Murray is playing out of his mind.

    You're right, Murray is a beast. But the topic was to not risk injury to our mvp workhorse late in a game that is secured and use Henry.

    Did you see Henry rip off that 22 yarder? He is something special too. No reason not to see both of them in the game. I agree that Murray is very special, and can turn the corner much better, but I love watching Henry roll.

    Yeah.... 117 touches for Murray compared to 37 for Henry. Regardless, Murray is clearly the guy they trust the most. So I have no problem with them rolling with him in that situation.

    Henry was potentially my favorite player in the draft. I was beyond ecstatic when the Titans drafted him. But ride our MVP for now.

    There should be. Seasons are long. When we get to game 11-16 will he still be able to run like he is now if he doesn't share the load?
