    Show me where I said he "gashed" them. Fact is he averaged a little over 50 yards/game this season but almost doubled that against this vaunted top 5 run defense.

    Totally agree...he drew lines exactly where Henry does his best work...in regards to stopping the Ravens offense my hope is to just prevent the big play....I'm happy letting them slowly grind it down the field with Ingram up the middle and then try to hold them to a FG...got to seal off the edges to try and make Lamar uncomfortable.

    A lot of the discussion has focused on what Henry will be able to do against the Ravens. However, for the Titans, this game comes down to whether Tannehill can move the ball in some manner via the passing game. I see the Ravens coming out with a near identical gameplan as the Patriots did on defense. Henry had over 180 yards rushing and the Titans only managed 14 points on offense as the Titans were content with Tannehill not doing much. Even so, Tannehill had an awful INT in the fourth quarter and that could have changed the game.

    Tannehill and the passing game are going to have to do a hell of a lot more than they did against the Pats to have any shot in this game. I'm not saying he needs to throw for 300 yards or anything like that, but the passing game as to least be able to pick up Henry when the Ravens find success in stopping him. If it is all put on Henry, I'm not sure how the Titans will be able to keep up with the Ravens.

    One thing I want to see more of are screens to Henry/Lewis/Smith. The Ravens love to blitz, screens might lead to some big plays for the passing offense.

    Pats had a better secondary than Baltimore so I expect things to open up for the passing game this week.

    And they like to blitz, thats gonna give AJ and CD more 1-on-1 looks to get open

    Ravens have the 6th best pass defense by yardage, but they held opposing QBs to a rating of 77.5, 2nd best in the league behind the Pats.

    I’m already hella nervous for this game. Last week my brother looked at me during the Pats game and was like, “bro, you’re literally shaking.” I was a wreck and it’s probably going to be worse this week.

    I’ve wanted revenge for the 09 playoff game for 11 years and it’s set up so perfectly. But is it foolish to have hope we can actually win? “Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.”
