from start to finish tonight Cheap Customized Tennessee Titans Jerseys , beating the Jaguars to stay alive in the playoff picture. Jacksonville looked totally uninterested in this one tonight and Derrick Henry made them pay. Here’s how it played out.Titans open with a touchdownJust the opposite of last week, the Titans started this week with a bang. A screen pass to Dion Lewis was the big play on the first drive, putting the Titans in position to score on their first possession. A couple of Derrick Henry runs later, they did just that. Henry punched it into the endzone to get what would be a big day for him going.The Titans’ defense got a stop on the Jaguars first drive, giving Marcus Mariota another shot to add more points. This time though, Mariota missed on a play action pass over the middle.His throw sailed high and rookie safety Ronnie Harrison picked him off. Special teams disasterJust when you thought the Titans had everything working, Cameron Batson brought everything back down to earth. He muffed a punt at the five yard line, then fielded it in the endzone. Instead of getting out quickly, Batson hesitated, then got tackled in the endzone. The result was a safety.Adoree’ Jackson returned punts for the rest of the game. Titans stuff FournetteThe Jaguars got the ball back after that safety and put together a pretty impressive drive. Cody Kessler kept things short http://www.authenticstennesseetitans.com/cheap-wesley-woodyard-jersey , but he was efficient. Jacksonville dinked and dunked their way down the field, eventually getting to the goal line. The Jaguars ran four plays inside of the five yard line and never found the endzone. Leonard Fournette was stuffed on three tries, which gave the Titans the football on their own one.Henry’s runAs it turns out, that was the moment that this game changed. Derrick Henry took it 99 yards on the next snap, rumbling through the Jaguars’ secondary to the house. It was truly a pathetic effort from Jacksonville, who didn’t seem all that interested in bringing down the 6-3, 250 pound back. Ryan Succop would miss the extra point, but he came back to hit a field goal just before halftime to make it a 16-2 game. The Jaguars just plain quitTennessee came out in the second half with Derrick Henry once again and Jacksonville just flat out quit. They were uninterested in finishing this one off. Henry danced into the endzone with ease for his third score of the night, giving the Titans a 23-2 lead.They followed that up with a Cody Kessler fumble, which the Titans recovered. Can you guess what happened next? Derrick Henry one more time. Henry ran in his fourth score of the night http://www.authenticstennesseetitans.com/cheap-quinton-spain-jersey , eclipsing 200 yards in the process. It was mop up duty from there. Jacksonville added a touchdown (that probably wasn’t really a touchdown) to Dede Westbrook to make it 30-9. But that’s about all they had left. The Titans drained the clock from there.17 carries for 238 yards and four touchdowns was the final count for Derrick Henry.The Titans improve to 7-6 and are still alive for a playoff spot in the AFC. They’ll look to keep their winning streak going next week against the Giants. Titans Senior Writer/Editor Jim Wyatt posted a story outlining RB Derrick Henry’s disgust of his play through three games this season.Henry has 46 carries through three weeks for a total of 139 yards. If you factor in the 60+ yard scamper that wasn’t, he’d have a little over 200 yards. This would’ve boosted his average yards per carry from three to four and some change. Splitting carries isn’t bothering Henry. For him, it’s the belief that he is not making the most out of the carries he is given. Having Jack Conklin manning the right side of the offensive line surely will help boost Henry’s productivity. Trusting the Hole Henry’s hesitancy or lack of patience in understanding the hole will be there keeps him from running with a full head of steam once the ball is stuffed in his gut. OC Matt LaFleur praised Henry’s vision and it’s apparent the Titans want to give Henry more opportunity to do damage. In week one, Henry carried the ball 10 times. Over the past two weeks, he’s carried the ball 18 times twice. Between 18-25 carries per game is what the workload on a good day should look like for Henry as he is a volume runner.What he was used to in college was fields of wide open spaces. In the NFL, the holes will not be as glaring and it will be up to him to hit the crease hard to help it open up. The hesitancy above affects Henry’s ability to process the play because he leans on his instincts to bounce the run outside instead of waiting for the hole to develop. Once Henry can overcome that hesitancy, he will be even more dangerous.A misconception of Henry is thinking he is a bruising back. He’s not. His physical stature suggests one think, but his instincts as a runner are completely opposite. Henry’s style back in college wasn’t built on his ability to plow through people - it was built on his ability move that fast at the second level with that physical size.Dion Lewis, who is obviously not Henry’s size, is more of a between the tackles grinder. What helps Lewis is his trust that the hole will develop - something he can help Henry learn. Lewis’s size contributes to him getting lost behind the line Youth Derrick Henry Jersey , which make it easier for him to creep up on the openings in the offensive line. Henry doesn’t have the same luxury. He can’t hide behind the line and usually defenders meet him in the backfield, thus preventing any steam from building up.Adding ViolenceA mad Henry should mean a violent Henry. Violence is good.If Henry attacks even the smallest crease with an intense level of violence, great things could happen. Henry evolving into a force running between the tackles will put him one step closer to being a complete running back, which bodes well for the Titans.In Wyatt’s piece, Henry says he“let three go away”. Although his individual stats aren’t where he’d like them to be, Henry should still realize he has contributed to the offense in the past few weeks. I’ve mentioned in previous pieces that Henry has been a shoestring tackle away from breaking the big one - multiple times. If he approaches the home game against the Eagles with the mentality he spoke about having, it would come at just the right time. There has been somewhat of a difference in the speed of which Henry hits the hole from the Wildcat compared to other formations. A lot could be due to his Wildcat options being cut and dry. He needs to explode through the hole the same way no matter what the formation.With the offensive line seeming whole again, Henry could be primed for a big day on the ground. If Lewis is on his game, the “Derrick and Dion” show could be fun to watch run wild behind an offensive line nearing full strength.
