    If Lewis were just getting 3rd down snaps that would be fine with me because then he would only be getting 12 snaps a game because that is the avg number of 3rd downs we have. If Lewis were effective when he was in the game that would be a different story as well, but our 3rd down conversion rate has us 27th in the league....now obviously you can't blame Lewis for the OL putting us in 3rd and long, but I have more faith in Henry picking up the yds than Lewis.

    No doubt that in the games that we get behind Henry sees less carries, but he shouldn't see that dramatically different snap count.

    Lewis had a huge block on that big Tannehill run on the last drive. He would have taken him down in the backfield if not for that effort.

    Sounding a lot like “anti-Bama”.

    Take that up with the three coaching staffs going back to college that don't throw Henry the ball, not me.

    The point Titans2004 is making is we brought Lewis here to be a change of pace back and he's not panning out. He doesn't help us much when he's on the field. A RB that's good in pass protection is a bonus but that's not why we signed him.

    Didn’t know he played catching back. His hands aren’t as bad as some say. If you look at his Bama record, he broke a ton of passing yardage.

    Pass protection is not a bonus. It prevents a lot of guys from playing. It's a must.

    yesterday, down by 9 with 6:00 left in the game, all Henry.

    I agree they both have different skill sets, blocking being the big difference to me, but there have been a couple backwards games. The panthers and Bucs games come to mind.

    He was not a lot early in the season.
