The Tennessee Titans are having a rough season, falling to 3-7 on the year after their most recent loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. It’s been so bad that reporters are even pondering whether or not this is rock bottom for the team.
During his postgame interview session, Derrick Henry wouldn’t specifically say whether or not he felt his team had hit rock bottom, but he made it clear that it’s been a “tough” season.
“I don’t know what rock bottom feels like, but… whoo, yeah man, it’s tough. It’s definitely tough,” Henry told reporters postgame according to Pro Football Talk. “We just haven’t been good enough — I’m making no excuse. We haven’t been good enough as a team and that’s what happens in this league. it’s a grown-man’s league, so it ain’t good enough.”
So far this season, Henry personally is averaging just 66.3 rushing yards per game, which is a long way down from his 96.1 yards per game from last season. And he acknowledges that he can be better personally.
“I feel like we can move the ball well. I feel like we need to be better in the run game — I can be better, personally, I’m holding myself accountable,” Henry said. “Once we get drives going, we’ve just got to sustain them and not have so many self-inflicted stuff that stops drive, that [makes us] go three-and-out.
“I feel like once we get in drives, we’ve just got to stay locked in and put it all together.”
We’ll have to see if the Titans can turn things around this week against the Carolina Panthers.
