The Titans have traditionally used running back Derrick Henry as a hammer to wear down defenses and then gone for the knockout blow in the fourth quarter, but they deviated from that formula in Sunday's loss to the Saints.
as a hammer to wear down defenses and then gone for the knockout blow in the fourth quarter.
Tennessee had an opportunity to do that in New Orleans when it got the ball on its own 27-yard line with 6 minutes, 42 seconds left on the clock, down by one point. But instead of riding Henry to the lead, the Titans utilized rookie back , who rushed for 8 yards on the drive's first play, eventually leading to a 29-yard field goal to pull within one point with a little over two minutes left."We're just trying to get everybody involved," Titans coach Mike Vrabel said Monday."Let's continue to find ways to get Tyjae and Derrick in there.
Vrabel admitted to trying to run a few times with Henry, but it wasn't successful. Henry had five carries for 12 yards in the fourth quarter, including two for minus-1 yard on the final drive. Henry finished with 15 carries for 63 yards and caught two passes for 56. At 29 years old, Henry is in the final year of a four-year, $50 million contract with the Titans he signed in July 2020. The offseason was tough sledding for running backs in search of a new contract.
