Just saw a lot of runs up the middle, nothing that made me go wow. Pretty sure Elliott can do that at the very least.

He looks like a load to tackle, but he has some very large running lanes.

Wanted him bad! Watched him last night and he looked terrific. So did Murray.

Come on Zeke!

I'm surprised how much lateral agility and how well he can stop and start for a RB his size. He look way better than Brandon Jacobs who he's been compared to

They're pretty deep at RB as well. I'd assume they'd go

He gets up to top speed pretty quick for a big man.

Barring injury, Murray will stand in his way from getting eye-popping stats this year.

At this stage, I'm just all in for Elliott even though I would probably have not taken him at 4th overall on draft day.

At 4th overall, Zeke will need to WAY better than the rest of the backs taken, as none even went in the 1st round at all.
The 4th overall pick (1800) is 4 times the value of the 45th pick (450), Think about that. Even if you got way below value, say only 3-3.5 times, think of all the additional 1st or 2nd rounders you can get....including Henry..while not giving up your existing 2nd.

The hope now is that Zeke does what we think he can.

yeah I watched parts of the titan game on a stream, and saw the murray 71 yd td run, and then henry, he looked good.
I think titans could be a playoff team if their line can make holes for the 2 backs they have.

Initially I looked at college hl of henry and elliot, and I liked henry better, but then saw cowboys would more than likely go with elliot,
and everyone said elliot was better.

But I still think henry could be the better back.

Never have been a fan of Henry and still think he'll be an average pro.

We shall see...

Murray and Henry are going to hammer people this year. Looks like the Titans improved their OL because they are creating some huge holes.

At the combine, he weighed in at 247. Thats a load coming your way. If you linebackers are smaller ( 230-240) and your safeties are around 200-210, that's a lot of punishment. They will start feeling it in the 4th qtr. That's not to mention running sweeps at 185-190lb corners.

I remember when the Cowboys would have a very difficult time trying to tackle Brandon Jacobs. It was almost like they jumped outta the way and didn't want to have any part of it.
