The Titans backfield

Ok, now we got Chris Brown, Travis Henry (who everyone was determined would unseat Brown when he came to Tennessee, but it never happened), and now enters LenDale White.

Who is your money on in 2006?

Henry. Think that White wont get much practice time in due to the hammy, and I never liked Brown anyway.

Last year was definately not a good year for Brown, but then again, it wasnt a good year for the Titans as a team.

I think it is Brown's job to start the season, but LenDale White gets the nod faily soon. This depends on how bad that hamstring is really injured though. I am still not totally buying into that being as bad as it was talked up.

Well if it is not as bad as hyped, THEN I have true concerns over the kids work ethic. To pu on that much weight before the combine and draft is just stupid, and if the leg isnt as bad as thought, then that makes it even worse in my eyes. His talent wont get him through the NFL alone, he will need to work hard.

That is true. The "real LenDale White" is very much and unknown at this point. Looking forward to seeing if he can participate in any of the upcoming mini-camps. Drafting him in rookie dynasty leagues right onw is a definate risk.

I think this year they struggle through Brown and Henry again. I am pretty sure Henry's contract is up after this year....could be wrong, and not sure on Brown's contract status. I think they let White get in shape and rehab leg and not rush him, with the intention he takes over next year.

I see Brown remaining their main back and White being the #2 guy in the backfield. Lendale will recover from his injury long before camp begins, and he will demonstrate what everyone knows he is capable of doing - being a tough runner.

I wouldn't even be shocked to see - as the season progresses - Lendale White becoming their main threat out of the backfield.

btw Brown averaged 4 yards a carry last year, thats not awful but its not above average either.

And the year before, the average was much higher. Browns concern is staying healthy. He is fine when he is at 100%. He just isnt there very often.
