Derrick Henry was King back in the day, but he could easily fall off at any time with how many carries he has had over his career and being a
RB where it is probably the shortest lived position in football. If the O-line of the Ravens isn't very good, Henry doesn't scare me, I know we
had DJ Reader when we pretty much shut him down before but I think Lou knows what to do.
Our Defense will be much better stopping the run this year I am pretty sure. For some reason the Browns are the team that runs all over us
with Nick Chubb who I think is a better RB than Henry.
The Titans had a horrendous offensive line last year, which will be worse than whatever the Ravens trot out there, and Henry ran for 122 (5.5 ypc) and 1 TD against us...with Reader last year....
Why are you sure we will be better at stopping the run after losing the best run-stuffing DT in the league? That seems like blind optimism.
All I know is, it seems like every offseason, folks are talking about the players the Ravens lost (Last offseason, it was Ben Powers, Justin Houston, JPP, Calais Campbell, Marcus Peters, Chuck Clark, etc.) and it doesn't really seem to matter.
That said, I think you can make a decent argument for any team. The Steelers defense has a chance to be elite. The Browns won 11 games with mediocre QB play..It will be interesting to see how it shakes out.
