    helllooooooo, we're halfway through the year, lendale has 613 yards and 5 touchdowns. we have the 3rd best ground game in the NFL right now with lendale as our starter. We're controlling the clock like nobody's buisness, and by the way we're 6-2. Give him a break, I'm very pleased with his production

    If we were 2-6 I would want a change but at 6-2 and while not the greatest runner he still pounds it out and we have a great rush game overall,I see no need to sit him,he does need to work on those fumbles though.

    Lots of things go into the outcome of games. We are winning in spite of LenDale, not because of him. I don't know if Chris Henry could handle the load and I'm certain that Chris Brown would get hurt so I would still give LenDale 10 or 15 carries, but pounding out 30 times a game for less than 3ypc isn't effective... it's dumb.

    The Titans aren't winning in spite of Lendale. He a major contributor thus far.

    Funny, his stats look strikingly similar to that of Eddie George's the year we shipped him out of here except that LenDale isn't old, he's just lazy and overweight. Also, I would consider our O-Line right now at least a notch above what it was then.

    The Titans defense is winning in spite of the offense.

    The only game the offense has won, is against the Texans when the D took the 4th quarter off, and Collins led the team into FG range to win it.

    EL Dub is on pace for 1226 yds and 10 TDs. That looks good in any book.

    And what about Travis Henry again?

    I think it's far better to let LenDale carry the load for most of the season. Ease off if and once a playoff birth is secure, keep Brown and Henry warm. They are both explosive, yes. But right now their best use is catching defenses off guard. I think this is an element best saved until needed.

    you're glory?

    the guy is averaging 3.6 YPC(inflated by the raiders game) and doesn't have a td from outside the five yard line. i would guess there are about 20 backup runningbacks in the nfl who could average more than 3.6 YPC.... in fact, we have two of them.

    oh yeah, and he fumbles.
