Somebody ease my mind
I will try.
Derrick Henry is 29 years old and has 1750 rushing attempts. I have read some well thought out articles about the correlation between age and attempts and how backs start to decline between the 1500-1800 attempts range. The decline can be sudden and often happens between seasons.
Ryan Tannehill is a 35 year old QB coming off injury. He played 3 snaps in preseason and handed the ball of all three times, so there maybe a little more rust considering he has not played a real football game in several months.
Most have the Titans offensive line ranked dead last. It was a mess last year and does not look to be much better this year. Maybe we can get some pressure.
There secondary was pretty poor last year. They gave up tons of big plays and many sites have them ranked 25th are lower this year. We should be able to move the ball on them.
The Saint's are entering this game healthy and have plenty of weapons on both offensive and defense.
Even though Vegas has them winning the division, it seems most in the media are out on the Saints. I have seen ton's picking Atlanta or even the Panthers to win the division. Maybe this motivates them team to proof them wrong.
I think we have more overall talent, the X factor will be coaching. Vrabel is considered by most to be a top tier coach who gets his team ready to play games. If we play sound football and don't get out coached I think we win.
