The Facts: When Murray was struggling with the Eagles last season, one of the talking points to explain his drop in production from 2014 was his inability to get into a rhythm due to the way backs were rotated in Philadelphia. An offseason trade to the Titans and their HC Mike Mularkey's desire to build an "exotic smashmouth" offense appears to offer Murray a chance to get back to his previous workload, but OC Terry Robiskie says nothing will be set in stone when it comes to how backs are used in Tennessee. "I believe in just doing whatever we have to do, whatever is necessary to win the game," Robiskie said.
Diehards Line:
Robiskie continued: “Obviously we’ll have it situated going into the game, and figuring, ‘Hey, we want to go this way or go that way.’ If we get to going in the game and some guy gets the hot hand and that’s what it takes to win the game then that is what we are going to do. We are not going to sit down before the game and say, ‘So and so has to have 20 carries, or he has to touch it 25 times.'” As PFRT's Josh Alper notes, all signs point to Murray getting the first crack in the backfield for the Titans, so he’ll have the chance to show that more work is the answer to better production. If not, the Titans drafted Derrick Henry in the second round to give themselves another option to get things going on the ground.
