Still can't take them lightly. They are a good team. We lost our No1 RB and we're still 7-1.

Henry had less than 3 yards per carry and they still scored over 30 points. I hope the defense doesn't think they get a break. Tannehill is certainly capable of putting up points.
Going to the game Sunday and I was really looking forward to watching him play. What a shame.
Looking at the up-coming game, it will be interesting to see how the Titans game-plan and adjust.
They really don't have a back-up power-RB.
Their #2 back is Jeremy McNichols; and he's a good player but he's more of a compliment to a power back. McNichols is used more in passing situations, and doesn't even have ten carries thus far this season. He can start and play well but he is not going to carry the ball 15-20 times between the tackles.
Looking at the Titans' depth chart and roster, there are fullbacks and practice squad options, who combined look like they have zero carries through eight games.
Will Tennessee's offense try to quickly adjust to more of a passing-attack?
TN has major talent at WR, with Julio Jones and A.J. Brown but Jones has been out with a hamstring injury (believe he is close to returning). Ryan Tannehill is a good QB but the Titans' passing-game is predicated on play-action which is going to be far less scary without Derrick Henry in the backfield.
I would guess (I only have about an 14% success rate on my guesses), Tennessee tries to add a RB before tomorrow's trade-deadline. However, I don't see them adding a big-name-player. Just a serviceable veteran ... perhaps off a team with a poor record.

How about a Fresca?
ESPN had it at Rams-6.5 this morning but they took it down. They get their spreads thru Caesar's
I've got Henry on my fantasy team.
I was hoping he would have a bad game against us, but like watching him play otherwise.
I think the Titans OL is good, so could still be a tough game.
Jeremy McNichols looks like he will be the #1.

It looks like Caesar's opened with an early -4 before moving it pre-injury. Would have been nice.

I’d rather play them at full strength. If the Tams needed to address a run defense weakness then Henry would have exposed it.
You can’t take any team lightly, particularly one with as much talent as the Titans, but I will say this…
Rams: 1st in NFL with 25 sacks
Tannehill: sacked 24 times (with Henry in lineup) - 2nd most in the league

Looks like he got something called a Jones fracture, potentially putting him out 6-8 weeks.
