Well, we will see. I believe that he will be good, but the NFL is tricky. Even trickier for him being a tall RB and the way the NFL is nowadays.

That is another plus. Henry 2nd round, no expectations to carry the team, good teammates, good coaching. I see Henry following the path that he did as a freshman at Bama. Much better to be a 2nd round at a good program that a top 5 at Cleveland. That's for sure. All he has to do is produce as a a 2nd rounder, and grow into the position. I am a Titans fan now.
I was just trying to provide a little clarity about the Titans future RB position and the way RB's are now used in the NFL. Averaging 20 carries per game for an entire season in a thing of the past.
And as far as "more important things to do," it took me like 2-3 minutes to look up those stats on ESPN, it's not like I wasted an entire afternoon.
I agree that DeMarco could benefit from this just as much as Derrick, and the Titans have to love the prospect of having two quality RBs in the rotation. They haven't really been successful/relevant since they had a decent one-two punch back in the Lendale White- Chris Johnson days.
I think they're a stud wide receiver away from being a really outstanding offense. Walker is a very good tight end.
But I still think they are weak at QB. I am not sure Mariotta can stay healthy and Mettenburg, is well, Mett! With the increased run game, I hope it helps Mariotta to stay healthy and be a better QB. I just think that team will need to be a power running team and in a division with Indy, Jacksonville, and Houston, they need to keep the ball as much as possible.
I think Mariotta will be perfectly fine with the right weapons around him. To me, it's pieces of a puzzle that they've done a decent job of putting together. They're building a good offensive line to protect Mariotta and to establish a run, they have the tight end for the short passing game, they've got running backs now that defenses will have to respect. When they get one wide receiver who is a legitimate and scary deep threat and make the play action pass a true option, they could be pretty darn hard to handle.
I'd say its more around 8-10 years on average before production drops off.....going by the production of the Top 20 RB's all-time. So Henry might be a backup for the next 3 years unless he proves to be the outright better back over Murray.
So, you think that Murray is an all time great RB? Because most RBs don't stay in the league 8 years, so far has their production dropped by then.
Yah, I think I've read that the average 'good' NFL RB lasts about 3.5 seasons in the NFL.
