Titans sticking with two starters at running back

Titans sticking with 'two starters' at running back Published: Dec 02, 2017 at 02:26 AM Digital Content Editor Heading into Week 13, the find themselves atop the AFC South at 7-4 and in the third seed in Derek Ryan Women Jersey the conference. The franchise is on pace for its first double-digit win total since 2008. But something isn't quite right with the . Their point differential is -27, the lowest of an division-leading team. Tenne see is barely beating mid- to lower-tier teams as of late; they topped the , , and (.318 combined) by an average of 3.5 points in their last four wins. Worst of all, the ' supposed identity, a smashmouth ground attack, is nowhere to be found. Tenne see has only eclipsed 100 yards Dougie Hamilton Kids Jersey on the ground in two of the last eight games. In 2016, the did so in 12 of their 16 contests. Contributing to this malaise is 's lack of production. The veteran running back is averaging 3.5 yards per carry on the season and hasn't eclipsed 50 yards on the ground since Week 7. Hampered by his hamstring, Murray has seen his backfield buddy find way more production. Henry is averaging 4.6 yards per carry, and over the past three games, is averaging 5.26. Despite the younger back' Teuvo Teravainen Men Jersey s better statistics, coach Mike Mularkey insists that Tenne see is not ready to move on from Murray and crown Henry as the starter. "It's worked out just fine. I think we have two starters," Mularkey said of the ' running game. "If somebody wants to line up on the first play of the game to justify this guy as a starter, that's not something we're worried about. They're both really good at what they do." Murray has played roughly 66 percent of Tenne see's snaps, while Henry has partaken in Jamieson Rees Kids Jersey 38 percent. But might that change? Henry was on the field for 55.2 percent of the ' offensive snaps in last week's win over the , while Murray's snap percentage dipped to 53.4. On tape, Murray's role is that of a space-eater. He runs straight into the line, struggling to gain more yardage than he should. Henry, on the other hand, is an outside-the-tackles playmaker. Sometimes his outside bounces Jake Bean Kids Jersey work, sometimes they don't, but the stats bear out his effect on the offense. While Murray is 44th among 45 qualifying running backs in yards after contact (1.43), Henry is second (2.76). If Tenne see's running game continues to crawl, look for more carries to go Henry's way.
