All right, Sunday night football, this week. It's
a good one. AFC Showdown, we saw this in the AFC Championship
Game a few years ago and these are two of the top teams in
the AFC right now, both 5 & 2
both have different styles of Play.
It's Mahomes and Kansas City throwing the ball everywhere
and it's Derrick Henry and we think it'll be Ryan Tannehill
and the Run game
running it everywhere.
That's what they want to do. It's a clash of different
styles of play here and honestly Lee, the Titans have
gotten the best of Mahomes in Kansas City, since he's been
the starting quarterback, but
the Chiefs got the most important one in the AFC
Championship. But this is where I want to go inside the numbers
powered by AWS. Let's talk about this Titans offense
a little bit and their special running game with King Henry at
running back. That's right. He's the king because he's one
of the greatest we've ever seen
runs. Verse 8. + defenders in the Box
this season, as you can see,
the Titans are lining up, running the ball.
We know they're going to run it, you know they're going.
Running the defense knows they're going to run it and
they just go. We don't really care. We're going to be good,
we're going to execute it the right way. We'll have a little
creativity in the Run game, the dress it up and no matter how
many people you put in the box,
they're going to be patient and run the ball and especially
without AJ Brown this year. I think they can rely on it. Even
more as they try to continue to establish who their go-to guy
in the passing game is
you know other than maybe Robert Woods.
All right, so here we got to play last week against
the Houston Texans. Malik Willis is at quarterback. I mean, The
Titans real
Leonard legitimately did not even try to really throw
the football and the game, the Texans knew that. And as you
can see right here, we got eight guys in the box and
really a ninth that's only about seven or eight yards from
the line of scrimmage.
So they're expecting run,
the Titans are going to run a little inside Zone cut back but
one they're well-coached they do things the right way, it's
an offensive line that's getting better as the season
goes along and
King Henry's getting better and better as we go to
they're going to do a little inside Zone, cut back. It's
going to be there. He's going to get up there. Cut
the Linebacker. He's pushing outside, okay? You're going to
have a little bit of a
double team there and then the
then the left guards going to get up to the linebacker.
You're going to have the tight end block out over here
against the safety,
right? And they're going to actually leave this defense to
end unblocked. And you can see here a little things that make
their offense online and their running game really good, they
widen the split of the tight end. So this guy here, can't
maybe line up right here and close down because you're going
to see here in a second of the
next frame. They leave him unblocked. You're going to have
all All that blocking that I just showed Henrickson and
start this way. Okay, they're going to have the tight end,
come behind the line of scrimmage and kick out who's
ever hear.
He's gonna push these holes of e, has the inside zonal, take
it. But if he feels like he's getting fast flow from
the backers, that's when he looks for the cut back and tries to
make something happen Tennessee. They don't overwhelm
you with a bunch of
different run plays,
they just have a few that are right in their wheelhouse.
They're really well coached and they don't mess it up. And let
me just show you on this next frame. How this all shakes out.
You can see it. Kind of shook out the
way. We talked about
linebackers kind of fast flowed over here at first, right, but
you could see here the Texans they got a linebacker. Garrard,
wallow did a good job of kind of following Derrick Henry, and
now he's in the hole.
But this is still considered a win from, for the Tennessee
Titans. There's pretty big gaping hole,
they understand that there's not going to be able to block
everybody with these eight and nine men. Grunts. Okay, and
they're looking at it to gone. Hey, let's just give this
freaking nature. Derrick Henry, a hole like this
and if he's one on one in the hole with a Defender, well, we
like our chances and, you know, I don't really have to show
you, but I'll show you the next picture. Guess what happened?
Oh,
he he made the guy Miss, and then ran for a bunch of yards
after, that's what he always does. Now, I do want to point
out. This is not a very good Texans defensive line or
defensive front by any stretch of the imagination
and It's not going to be the same
this week against the, the Kansas City Chiefs,
Chris Jones and Company. They got a lot of big dudes, that
can slow down the run and without a passing game to worry
about necessarily that scares you in Tennessee. That's what
will be interesting.
Because yeah, I expect them to
face eight men in the Box just like they are on this play here,
but the Chiefs got some difference makers that make
the challenge a little harder, but
again you can see the blocking and then they're perfectly fine
with this guy one-on-one. And guess what would happen do?
Like the worst Run defense, ever didn't make the tackle in
the hole and as you can see, there's guys on the ground and
everybody's chasing
and there's Derrick Henry. So we showed you
the line blocking things properly.
Hey, there's one extra guy in the whole
around two yards past the line of scrimmage.
Hey Superstar first-ballot hall of fame runner,
can you make him Miss? Guess he can all the time, he does, he's
amazing that way and then he does even more on top of that
and you know 41 yards or so later. Finally the Texans bring him.
But that's the magic of the Tennessee Titans. That's going
to be the interesting thing to watch in this game. Can
the Kansas City Chiefs defense slow. This attack down,
if they can't, then you're going to see a heavy dose of
it. You're going to see the Titans,
slow the game down, run the ball, keep Mahomes on
the sidelines, and they're going to hope to keep it like a 22:17
21:17 type of football game. And then they have a chance to
win
it. So we'll see. So good matchup to watch, Kansas City
Chiefs, Chris Jones, and Company, got to stop King.
Henry Sunday Night Football, hope you enjoy it.
