Fwiw, TN's running game ranked 25th in 2015. They also gave up 54 sacks, which was a league worst.

I posted the starting line was in there for Murray (who played the 1st quarter) and Henry (who played the second quarter). I also specified Henry and the starting line faced SD's 2nd d-line.

It's not much ado about nothing here in San Diego. They're a bit concerned about the run defense even after one practice game.

NAAAAaaaaaaaaa....

@tour2ma said:

Well Henry (regretfully) is not a Brown either. But I'm counting him as my prediction for success just like Lockett and Dak because the Browns should have taken all 3.

PS_well at least two old goats won't be butting heads over Dak.

@texasag1969 said:

Only Browns count...

and I'm out there with you on Dak...

Sounds pretty funny.

It wasn't very funny.

So at least you have me classified as a Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) LOL!

@tour2ma said:

LOL I thought I had brought it up a tad with my Tyler Lockett selection last year.

He's now #2 behind Baldwin there in the depth chart. He is #1 for punt and k.o. returns as well. So that should give me extra credit for predicting that he would be more than just another wr.

Besides I'm more out on the limb with my Dak prediction as the Boys QB in waiting. But that one doesn't count until Romo hangs it up.

@texasag1969 said:

Well, if you like to go out on a limb like that, who are we to stop you falling to your demise?

It's my prediction. He has all the tools and sooner or later you will agree with me. For the moment however to each his own.

@tour2ma said:

Yeah but I apparently the starting front 4 for SD only played like 4 run plays and they were all under 2 yards for the Titans. So this performance is much ado about nothing.

@texasag1969 said:

THIS is stupid. The guy hasn't had a single carry in an NFL game ans you want to mention him in the same breath as Jim Brown?

No, its not stupid, it INSANE

@flugel said:

And SD's Defense which ranked 26th vs. the run in 2015? How long did their starters play? Hell even Sankey averaged 17 YPC with a 41 yd TD run.

Everything is relative...

@the-gipper said:

The only thing Henry and Richardson have ever had in common was Alabama. It's time to lose that sting and realize the difference is night & day between the two. And if Lacy can continue his weight loss he just might equal Henry some day. It's also time to make the comparisons to the Jim Browns and Eddie Georges of the NFL and not other Bama backs. Henry is a throwback to that kind of size, speed and power. And as I have flatly stated multiple times, he is going to make the Browns and the Browns Board rue the day we did not take our shot. Ogbah had better make all pro some day to make up for it.

@the-gipper said:

Henry and Elliott are just as "unknown" as the guys we picked. Just because a guy is a high pick RB...don't mean he will do diddley. Can you say Trent Richardson?

It also makes more sense.

I believe Demarco Murray had the 71 yarder, but I could be mistaken. Henry had 10 carries for 74 yards, with a long of 16.

Something I didn't know, Henry had a 71-yard TD run. So outside of that it was presumably 9 carries for 3 yards?

Not sure whether to be please with that or not.

I don't know why, but I've always rooted for Mariota. I think he's a class act that worked hard and kind of proved a lot of people wrong last year. I'm not saying he had a GREAT season, but as a rookie on a bad team, I thought he did some nice things. Sure, he had some real clunkers (ahem...against us, lol), but he also showed some moxy that game and damn near engineered a comeback. That 4th down TD to Dorial Green on Joe Haden was gorgeous. Pissed me off that Haden couldn't defend that crap, but whatever. We still won mainly due to a killer play by Manziel. *sigh*

Regardless of preseason status, I was VERY surprised to see the agility and vision by Henry...especially at the damn goal line. He displayed great feel and vision when the TD play got blown up, and he punched it in. Goal line running is an art, and not everyone can do it. This is one of the things that Crow struggled with, and I can think of a couple times last year when Crow ran into the wrong gap last season that ended up costing us dearly.

@texasag1969 said:

LOL! We had our shots at Henry or Elliot. But we thought it was more important to drop down to wr's and DE's and stock up with unknowns next year. However I would watch who Tenn. drops because they have 4 good backs now.

It is less the RB and more the blocking. The Browns could have Murray and Henry. I still think they would struggle behind that line.
