Jackass Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Interesting. shows how little confidence the titans have in chris brown. and henry going in, presumably, as the backup. should be fun to see how this plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outshined Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Unless he is the starter, isn't this the same situation as Buffalo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbimm Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Mental note Dont draft Titan rb's very early ! What a mess this could be. Brown while injured too often was good to have when he was healthy and Henry could have been a great pick if traded to a different team. This makes them both risky picks at very best!

Avernus Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Unless he is the starter, isn't this the same situation as Buffalo? 881842[/snapback] almost....the difference is the Bills drafted McGahee after already having Henry.... now Henry is in the "McGahee" role and loves the fact that he can spoil someone else's job as what has happened to him...

He will not supplant Chris Brown when both are healthy, but he will have a good shot at playing time with Brown being so injury prone.

Has Travis said anything to the media about being traded to the Titans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampnuts Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Why would Travis be happy about this?? Going to another team to back up a younger player? This really sucks from a fantasy perspective. Now they'll both get drafted late and sit on somebody's bench. What a joke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess no other team was offering him that much?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westvirginia Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Yes but Henry is probably only an average RB that plays hard and tough. He will not supplant Chris Brown when both are healthy, but he will have a good shot at playing time with Brown being so injury prone. 881864[/snapback] My thoughts run along these lines. Something else I haven't seen mentioned a ton (I haven't looked at the rankings or anything yet) is that Brown wasn't very good in short-yardage and goal line situations last year. I'd bet Henry is the goal-line guy period. Brown with yards, Henry with scores, halving the value of both. So unless Brown misses significant time and Henry stays healthy (remember Henry, though tough, hasn't been the most durable either), it'll prolly be the ol' RBBC. Oh, and that doesn't take into account if Nash or Payton shows something and gets significan't time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Furley Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 So much for that "Chris Brown is the next LT2" discussion. 881867[/snapback] I was thinking the exact same thing. I am surprised as I was falling for the "Henry to Jacksonville" hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 This makes sense, as Brown is very fragile. Now Christal can start the games and Travis Henry can finish them. Perhaps the Titans are trying to find someone to show Brown how to play hurt. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziachild007 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 as a Brown owner 881868[/snapback] as a Taylor owner IMO, the Jags have to at least have some confidence in Taylor playing this season if they were not willing to give up a 3rd. Henry may not be spectacular, but he would have still been better than Toefield, Jones or Pearman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you rather have, the Tiatan's #2 or the Jax #2 next year? Yeah, Buffalo thought so too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vansmack32 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 henry had a greed to an extension with jax if he doesn't get one done, he might be able to kill the deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go where you're traded. Getting you signed to an extension is your new team's problem. Tennessee could have made the trade conditional of a new deal being worked out, but I doubt they would have announced it without said deal being done. . .

Has Travis said anything to the media about being traded to the Titans. 881878[/snapback] He did play college ball at Tennessee. If Brown goes down, he will be very happy. I'm not even sure if a 100% Chris Brown is better than a 100% Travis Henry. Brown better stay healthy this year if he wants to be the starter for the future.

TecmoBeast Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Chris Brown will have some serious motivation to stay healthy. He sure doesn't want to let Henry get a chance and run away with it. Henry might not want to sign a long-term contract in TEN like he would of in JAX. I think Chris Brown is a restricted FA next year. This might be an expensive backup plan for TEN. Gives them a capable backup right now and gives them some other options when it comes time to talk contract with Chris Brown. I'm really curious to see if TEN signs Henry long-term. Really got to think Chris Brown is their man. He was tearing up the league with the 100 yd games. TEN just needs a dependable backup for this guy. all they got is a bunch of youngens. I do not think Henry wants to be their dependable backup. Henry will be an unrestricted FA next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
