Jumpin Johnies Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Travis Henry has a 2.5 YPC this pre-season and Brown is over 4 YPC. Here's some info from Footballgheys. Clipped from the CBS Sportsline Player News: According to a source close to the Titans, CBS SportsLine.com has learned that Travis Henry is expected to be the Tennessee's starting running back when they play vs. the Jets in Week 1 of the regular season. "Chris Brown is listed as the No. 1 running back in name only," the source said, citing Henry's dedication to the offseason workouts and overall ability as the main reasons why he'll start over Brown and rookie LenDale White. Henry started the Titans' third preseason game, a home loss to the Falcons. On the preseason, Henry has rushed for 53 yards on 21 carries (a 2.5 yards per carry average) with a touchdown along with three catches for 20 yards; Brown has 69 rush yards on 16 carries (4.3 average) with three passes caught for 24 yards. (Updated 08/29/2006). [[[[[[[[[[[ OUR VIEW ]]]]]]]]]]]]]] We're digging into this more as I'd like to see some confirmation on this from another source. It's not shocking though as Henry was given the start in the all important Week 3 preseason game. And Chris Brown has looked less than stellar, not to mention that Brown's agents continue making noise about wanting a trade. LenDale White hasn't shown me much of anything that would make me think he can carry the load as the #1 RB. My take on this right now is to not go crazy but move Henry up the boards some and Brown down. White stays about the same. If Brown stays in Tennessee, it could be a messy committee with Henry yielding some carries to Brown and then White possibly vulturing some goal line work. There's also the possibility that Vince Young would be inserted in some goal line packages that might muddy the water even more. But still, this is significant news for Travis Henry from a solid source like CBS Sportsline and I wanted to let you know what I'm seeing. Thanks to Footballgheys Tom McKinnon and Jeff Doyle for the headsup here. Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeohiostate Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) After a full day of news with ESPN and NFL network, i didn't hear hide nor hair of this story, i'm beginning to think CBS's inside man is the mascot More importantly DMD has not posted in on the main site, so many experts must not give too much credit to the story either imo.

Sigalf03 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Aug 29 Brown may be relegated to a backup role in the Titans' season opener against the Jets, CBS Sportsline.com reports. Recommendation: An anonymous source close to the Titans expected Travis Henry to start over Brown. If head coach Jeff Fisher confirms the news, this would be a tremendous blow to Brown's fantasy value. This from yahoo, but it has the rotowire symbol in the corner. Rotowire is usually pretty reliable, at least more then CBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 You guys all need to friggin relax.... brentw never stated anything to be fact. In actuality, his original thread topic ASKS if someone can confirm that the article was true. He went on to acknowledge that Sportsline is known for poor information, yet people jump all over him as if HE is the one spreading rumors. Another prime example of people over-reacting without taking 3 minutes to READ THE ENTIRE THREAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spain Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 No mention of this rumor in the local media. Nothing in the newspaper about Henry at all except that he missed practice yesterday with an excused absence. Nothing on local sports. Its obvious by the horrible way the Titans offense has played in the pre-season that changes are necessary. Hence, Kerry Collins is now on the roster. But replace Chris Brown with Henry? It doesnt make any sense unless they are about to trade one of them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
