Twitter: Zeke: It would mean a lot to reach 1,000 yards rushing

[basel90]

Narcissistic selfish zeke being himself. All he thinks about is padding his stats . He is the wrong type of player .

My god, I had no idea. That’s impressive as hell, I wish I could watch it.

So in other words Henry is about to have TWICE as many yards as zeke’s total in one season and his contract is half the price. Great job Jerry

The most impressive thing about it is that he was at 1,777 coming into the game.

No....the most impressive thing is he balled out for 200+ yards today in spite of the fact that TENN had secured a playoff spot already.

 

[Thomas82]

Congrats! He seems like a good dude, still wished I could have seen it happen live.

I guess I'm lucky with this one. I've been able to see the last 6 2000-yard rushers hit the mark live. Oh, and what's crazy is that Derrick Henry is actually the 2nd Titans RB to hit 2,000 yards (Chris Johnson).

Watching highlights now, that’s incredible. I’m watching some of these long runs he did and know zeke would have been plodding along and asking to be taken out of the game if he even got half the yards Henry did.

Yeah that's true too, but I meant from the standpoint of 2,000 seeming unlikely coming into the game.

I don't understand why people continue to hang on to this outdated statistic. Its importance went out when the schedule was expanded over the years. It breaks down to approximately 62 1/2 yards per game. Or 15 yards per quarter. All the makings of an average running back

 

[Thomas82]

He's at 1890 right now. At the very least, he'll break Earl Campbell's Oilers/Titans franchise record of 1,934.

Actually, Chris Johnson was the Titans' previous record holder with 2,006 yards. Since I couldn't edit my post I just made the correction here.

I think you have to listen to the whole interview

He would have had even more yards, but he had a 30-something yard touchdown called back for holding.

He is in perpetual decline since CABO
. Did you watch him play . Has no burst .

 

[Asklesko]

Fail!

We weren't talking about his play just the fact that the press conference quote itself is taken out of context if you watch what else he said. But you're right about his play declining. Only 2 100 yard rushing games this year and maybe 3 more games you felt good with what he contributed. Giving him a pass this year, but if he doesn't rebound in 2021 need a replacement.

Time to move him to guard.....

That's funny, and I must hand it you......but that's just wrong.

Got to come back at ya...….can't beat that though.....our HC

2nd highest paid RB in the NFL, folks...

Good money, he makes Dak.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Good money, he makes Dak.

Nope. This season proves differently Coach.

Dak carried this team. Not Zeke.

Nope. Dak is a good qb, but he needs a line and a stud back to make him tick. They need each other....

 

[America's Cowboy]

I agree that Dak and Zeke need each other, but Dak has greatly improved while Zeke has regressed. This Oline has not helped at all either.

We better trade or draft a stud back then
