Titans
Titans RB Derrick Henry is a fan of new OC Tim Kelly and believes that he’ll be great for the job.
“I love Tim,” Henry said, via the team’s website. “I feel like Tim has a bright mind. Going up against him when he was with the Texans, I always felt like he had a great game plan against us. Watching the Texans throughout the years when he was the OC, he always did a great job with DeShaun (Watson) and the guys that he had. So, I am excited to have Tim as the OC. He’s a great dude, so it’s going to be fun.”
Titans RB coach Tony Dews will now coach tight ends. Henry believes this is a great move for him and believes that he can one day become a head coach.
“I was excited for Tony,” Henry said. “He keeps moving up and keeps thriving. He wants to be a head coach one day and I think he has all the tools to do that. So, I think this is the next step toward trying to do that and accomplish his ultimate goal. I am excited to see who the next running backs coach is and come in and get acclimated to our culture and how we want to play…I see Tony as family, and I am excited for him and his opportunity.”
Henry is also excited about what the team will look like under new GM Ran Carthon.
“I am excited to have Ran on board,” Henry said. “He comes from a great organization that’s had a lot of success the last couple of years. Hopefully he can bring good things to the Titans organization, and we can get some good things started. I am looking forward to seeing what the team looks like in the future.”
