Besides Mariota, which player do you think won't live up to expectations?

Humphries easily. The Bucs let him walk for a reason. 9 tds in four seasons of which 5 of the total td's was last year!

 

Bucs let him walk cause they're $3M against the cap (lowest in NFL), and have multiple players they can replace Humphries with.

Hump is a legit WR and knew he would get paid by somebody

 

The Bucs have always been a Mike Evans team with 2 bad QBs in Fitz and Winston. The #2 WRs in Dallas never did much either with Dez being the main focus. ( Hurns,Beasley,Williams)

76 catches for 816 yards and five touchdowns, I dont think thats bad numbers for a #2 with a bad QB. Just guessing he had better numbers than our complete WR core.

 

Will he beast every game? Probably not... But it wasn't a talent thing that was holding him back, it was more of an ego thing where he thought he had to hit the homer every swing... When Eddie G told him to stop being a soft ass and throw his weight around to get every yard, he became the guy he's built to be.

As long as he still has Eddie calling him out in his head this season, I expect him to continue to grind out yards and get more opportunities to do so.. should have a solid season, imo.

 

1200 yards sounds good as long as it isn’t 2 300 yard games and then 600 yards across the other 14 games.

 

Biggest issue I saw was that he would drop to the ground the moment he was touched. George told him keep digging and moving his feet and that was what he needed to hear (and do).

 

What he thought he was doing was saving the day by stopping his momentum to change direction towards the endzone.

What he failed to realize is 247lbs at 6'3" your center of gravity it too high to really stop on a dime like a 5'10 195lbs RB named Chris Johnson, and burst free for positive gains.

In college Henry was able to get away with this, in the NFL everyone is fast. He seems to get that now.

Hope I’m wrong about Henry but his expectations sky rocketed after he finished last season the way he did.
Outside Mariota, I’m not sure anyone else on the team is expected to do more.

 

well to be fair Henry has always had high expectations. He sure hasnt lived up to any of it( A true #1 RB) prior to last few games of the season. So he has to be the main person outside of Mariota to do something. Hes had just as long as Mary to show something and in 4 yrs he isnt where he needs to be outside of a late run of games at season end last yr. Hes also had a great tutor as well with the #1 rusher Demarco Murray ahead of him and seemed not to learn anything.

I guess I just like great Rbs and wish the Titans had one and I dont see Henry as one.( Zeke,Gurley,Barkley,Bell,Connor,Johnson,McCaffrey,

 

He is one year behind Mariota so he hasnt quite had just as long as Mary. Also, not sure what he could have learned from Murray since they are such different types of RB. Either way it is put up or shut up time, he wont be extended the same chances Mariota has had. Being a 2nd round pick compared to a 2nd overall pick makes a difference, we would love to see some return on the 50mil investment we have in Mariota.
