    I’m a little concerned he may have pulled them early if that’s his line of thinking. This game was still in doubt when Jones was “pulled” for whatever reason.

    On the bright side, good to see these other WR showing some talent. Rogers and Westbrook-ikhine showed off something. Would like to see Pruitt keep getting opportunities too.

    I think we're beginning to see a trend here. With the NFL expanding the regular season and the length of the playoffs, teams are going to rest their impact guys when they can — especially when they're not 100%.

    It stinks for fans who don't get to see a HoF WR but, as long as the Titans remain up by 10+, I don't blame Vrabel a bit.

    That seems to be the case. Which is why I was against expanding the season and the playoffs.

    And I agree, I think Vrabel makes the right move here.

    It will be interesting to see what happens next week. Honor Landry and Simmons played 100 and 95 percent of defensive snaps respectfully. That is a lot for their position.

    Makes sense as I think about it. We were up by 2 scores for a good bit of the second half. We were going to be running the ball a good bit, why waste his talent and reps on him out there run blocking when other guys were doing just fine at that.

    Sucked being at the game to not see him in on critical downs as we drove to get that last FG, but I'd rather have him later in the season than a game we had mostly handled.

    Right. And Henry is getting too many touches, IMO. We don't need Henry with 400+ carries/receptions come the playoffs. He's averaging 31 touches so far which is 527 touches in a 17-game season.

    McNichols is showing some promise so hopefully he can take just a few of those touches and I’m good with earlier in the game since Henry is a bulldozer late, more so when they have the lead.

    I have been worried about Henry too. Dude needs a rest.

    They will use Henry when they really need him. Big game and they needed him the last two weeks for 4 qts. Maybe next week they can throttle him down a bit.

    I noticed they had Sargent active and deactivated Blasingame with Carter playing FB. Maybe they get Sargent more involved as well running the ball next week if we can get a lead and not have to ride Henry as much.

    Ya'll might buy that mularkey but not me. 2 scores in the NFL can be knocked off the board in a matter of minutes.
