  1. Yes, the coaching staff is brilliant for running shotgun spread without Henry on 3rd and short.

  2. No, Derrick Henry is enough of a threat that he should be on the field on 3rd and short.

    Can someone explain to me why a team would put Derrick Henry (the best offensive player on your team and the best running back in sports) on the bench in critical 3rd and short or 4th and short (Seattle game) situations?

    Someone? Anyone? Who is this genius we have as the play caller?

    It used to be that Henry wasn’t good picking up the blitz. Now, I have no idea.

    3rd-and-3 or less you have Henry in even if used as a diversion.

    No other team in the NFL would do this. It has something to do with the titans perpetual mediocrity and 20 years of run run pass offense

    Love how Downing has been working to get Henry more involved in the passing game

    only to keep him sidelined on the most important passing situations

    Its completely ridiculous that ita happens every single snap. I would also point out that there are 0 plays that use Mcnichols and Henry on the field together.

    Agree 100% and for the life of me can’t understand the rationale and/or logic.

    Jeff being one of the most reasonable and one of the last people to overreact on this forum, you know things are bad when even he doesn’t understand the coaching decision lol
