Keep in mind that this is the same Jaguars defense that shut out one of the hottest offenses in the league four days before this game. Maybe they were tired, but they were losing the battle at the LOS and Tennessee was able to get Henry in space where he's a load to deal with. Tennessee hasn't been consistent with doing that all year.
It’s the same Jaguars defense that made a great pick on Mariota early in the game. The special teams followed that up by turning a muffed punt into a safety. The Jags started two drives around their own forty and got nothing from the offense.
Yep. That's what made this pretty impressive. Sure, the numbers aren't repeatable, but look at how the Titans used him:
Look at all those runs to the outside and the effort to get him in space. Then you look at a game early in the season (Week 2) and it's night and day:
In a way, it's kind of like David Johnson. I don't know why these OC's are wasting these backs on inside runs. If you get these players in space, nobody wants to tackle them. They're fast, they've built up a head of steam and they're big. I do think part of Henry's problem is he hasn't been running with the power and physicality that you would expect, and it was made worse by Tennessee being so banged up on the line. But, he's too talented to not be a 1000+ yard rusher each year.
This is really confusing to me. You want the Titans to play Henry in out in space? He’s one of the worst lateral movers in the league and struggles changing direction plus hasn’t shown any abillity as a receiver. I think you’re confusing straight line speed with quickness and agility.
