My First of Five "Bold" Predictions

My first bold prediction

     My first “Bold” prediction for the Titans this year is a big one. There are many ways that I could go with this one, but I’ve decided to go with the running game.

     The Titans will have a top 10 running offense this season. The reason I say this is because the combination of Marcus Mariota, Demarco Murray, and Derrick Henry is a force to be reckoned with. I’m not saying that we will have the league’s leading rusher or anything, but I believe that we will have enough yards to break through the top 10.

     There are many different play options for this offense because we have a very mobile quarterback. If you have all three of those fantastic runners in the backfield at the same time, there is almost no defense that could stop them. I can’t think of any defense that we are playing this season that can stop this triple-threat offense effectively.

     I have been to one practice so far, and what I saw from the running backs is something that I haven’t seen since Chris Johnson and Lendale White combination back in 2008, the old smash and dash running game. The only difference is, Demarco Murray and Derrick Henry are more of a smash and smash kind of combo.

     I think this is a sign of good things to come because if our running game can be as good as I am predicting, this team will be on track for greatness. This team is on the verge of being good, and I think that all they need is a little push from the running game.

    I will be doing my next “Bold” prediction later this week! In the meantime, remember to Titan Up!!
