The Titans don't come anywhere near 10 wins with a lesser QB.


And the Chiefs in their playoff game against the Titans were more worried about Tannehill off PA than Henry, they didn't sell out to stop the run. Defensive coordinators know that the passing game is what leads to points and not rushing yards.

Uh, but they did. in the second half, the third Q, I believe, Spags went goal-line D twice to stop Henry. From mid-field. In my book that's selling out to stop Henry. Spags didn't turn the DLs loose on Tannehill until after the Chiefs had a two score lead.

And we'd have to go back and see just who they had on the offense for TEN pre-Tannehill besides Mariota to be sure of why they weren't very good. And I'm not interested enough in this conversation to do that.

But as I said above, DCs don't talk about Tannehill when they talk about the most dangerous player for TEN. They talk about stopping Henry. Since it's their job to stop offenses, I think I'll take their word for it.
