On paper yes, but how long until Henry starts to wear down? He’s only 27 but he already has 1200 carries under his belt and he’s been pretty healthy thus far.

If Henry breaks down, that offense breaks down. Assuming they’ll run the same offense, because Arthur Smith is in Atlanta now.

A lot of moving parts involved there. It’s certainly not guaranteed that they’ll be better.

Running Backs age like milk, but the expiration date is typically 30.

It's not going to be next week and you can say this about any offense or defense if they lose their star player. Tennessee was the 4th best overall offense last year. They were pretty darn good. So they have a couple year window and are taking their shot. That's usually the average for most teams.

The Defense must first stop the run. The next step for the Tits is play action. The safeties need to be disciplined on their reads to keep Tannahill from rolling out and making easy completions. The Colts D needs to throw some stunts and blitz packages to put stress on the Tits O line.

The Colts O line is the best group on the team. If they can turn estabilish the run, use RPOs to their advantage, they can flip the Titans if they cant stop the Colts run game

Titans offense was better than ours before the trade, will be even better after the trade. Our strength, however, is offensive line and that makes up for a lot. I think we are a much better team in that our defense is better than the Titans and is about to take another step in my opinion.We are in a good position.

It will probably come down to whether we can stop Henry in a nickle package. If we have to put 7 or 8 in the box Jones and Brown both have great stats against a 7 and 8 man front. Henry has great stats against 6 man fronts. It will be interesting to see how we handle.

I think there is less respect for the Titans on here because we have owned them for so long. Maybe less respect for them and too much respect for the jags bc they keep beating us.

Indy has won 20 out of the last 25 against Tennessee and 28 out of the last 36 against. That's pretty much ownership in my book.

We beat their ass in the first meeting and played the 2nd game without Buckner and Taylor so yeah I don’t respect em especially when they lost a lot of offensive production out of 2 guys they let walk in free agency this was an act of desperation in my opinion one that doesn’t make the offense any better than we faced last year

And I’m still saying Wentz is a big improvement over Rivers so advantage Colts

Julio is a better player than what they lost.

I’m not sold on Wentz. He was god awful last year. Rivers had years of good seasons under his belt. How many does Wentz? 2-3? I’m hopeful he can turn it around, but not gonna delude myself.
