We held Derrick Henry to 63 yards rushing (1 Viewer)

Our Defense is legit.

Everybody was disciplined, did their job and rocked the Dome.

A far cry from the run D last season. Back to what we expect.

And most of it was in the first quarter. Outstanding effort by the defense all game.

An assist to Titans OC.

He was popping off 5 yards a carry in that first half. I'd have to say the Titans were kinda dumb with him.

I mean after our opening fumble on the kickoff they got the ball, got a false start and they took him out the rest of that series. Like why??

Our run did look better in the second half though.

We looked like a team who never tackled a beast like Henry before in the first quarter. And really put the hammer down from the second quarter on.

We should be lucky that Tennessee wanted to ease his load and used Spears a lot more in the passing game. Tennessee is going to realize really quickly that they have no choice but to ride Henry hard if they want to win games.

There was a pass play he went out to chip and Demario popped him on his @**. I loved seeing Davis do that to him. Because early on on one of his runs he stiff armed Maye and the Titan loving announcers were nutting all over that!

Good to see their boy get put in his place.

THIS!

The commentators at one point talked about the Titans’ desire NOT to use Henry a lot. And I thought “Why the heck not?!” I expected them to use him more, wear down the Saints and take the lead for good. Go figure.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Glad they didn’t run Spears more too, think he averaged 9 per carry. 3/27.

1,000 yard season?

Yep....this is exactly what I was thinking. It had to be load management for Henry but relying on Tannehill without establishing the run was kinda nuts. I know they are missing Arthur Smith right now.

I was glad to see DH come off the field on 3rd and longs. Much easier for Saints to defend when he's on the sidelines.

Derrick Henry is baddest RB since Larry Csonka. It's almost not fair.

It makes no sense to be so strong and so fast....none at all.

No question. This is a special D. Make no mistake this offense can also put up some points. That’s a good strong defensive team with an outstanding and strong d line and running game second to no one. Many a year we would have lost this game. This says a whole lot. Has the chance for two more tds also. Shaheed just missed 1st quarter with the knee and and the PI on Olave that wasn’t called would have put us right there also.
