You forgot Jalston Fowler is also with the Titans!As a Tide and Titans fan I'm thrilled he's in Nashville. It's been some lean years for the Titans the last few years.
Also Warmack and Rashaad Johnson are on the Titans too. Warmack is in a contact year. Also a fun fact- Mike Mularkey (Titans HC) as Saban's OC when he was with the Dolphins.

That's 7.4 yds per carry....the Cowboys were stupid for not drafting him...:mad2:Finished the night with one touchdown, ten carries and seventy four yards
So were the Raiders. I'm a Raiders fan and we needed a running back in the worst way and ended up passing on Derrick Henry, the Dixon kid out of La Tech and Booker from Utah. Only to take an undersized scat back in the fifth round from Texas Tech who is 5'8 and a buck 95 soaking wet. Idiots...That's 7.4 yds per carry....the Cowboys were stupid for not drafting him...:mad2:
He was making cuts that I didn't see him make in college. Looks like he has worked very hard on his lateral foot speed/quickness. Never showed one sign of "lumbering" or slow in changing directions on a lateral level. Very, very impressive first showing for Derrick.His o-line was killing it, that's why Murray's stats were so good, too.
Henry did show that he can play though.
If he can keep improving on getting out of a crowded backfield, and consistency catch balls thrown his way, look out.
Yeah, saw that too. Surprising to see how nimble he looked. I DVR'd it and watched it again. Derrick has DEFINITELY worked on the things the critics said would give him problems in the NFL. The lateral movement is there, quickness in changing direction is there, and the cuts he was making without slowing down one step is there. He looked great and honestly looked game ready to be the starter. I was happy for Derrick but at the same time ticked off that my Raiders passed on him. Our O-line is going to be a beast this season and I can only imagine what Derrick could have done behind that line. SMHNice debut! I watched nearly every carry of his college career and I never saw that spin move
