 Welcome to the Bet MGM Studio and another edition of Titans All Access. I'm Mike Keith of my Titans radio broadcast partner Dave McGinnis. Titans headed to Houston to play the Texans for the second time in two weeks. Coach Mack, how does that affect preparation? Well, you know the people, you know the people, you know the personnel. Now they're going to have some different personnel than when we played in the first time. These sandwich games, especially sandwich division games are always very, very interesting because you know this personnel very well. After having just played them, you know, you know, I'm even better. And so the things that you didn't do well, you try to emphasize how to get over the top of your opponent on that. The things they did well against you. How do you keep them from doing it this time? The Titans did not run the football well in the first match up against the Texans. But last week against Seattle, 31 overall rushes for 162 yards. What did the Titans do better? Well, they were getting movement off the line of scrimmage. I mean, that's where run game starts. You know, even with the great running backs in the league, they have to have help to get to that second and third step. We had that consistently, especially Mike in the first three quarters of the last game. All right, let's take a look at a couple of Derek Henry's best runs as we go beneath the surface powered by Microsoft. Here we go. You know, this first one here, this is this is reduced split. They bring the motion in by the receiver. This is three by one. This is a this is a true eight man front. This is really a nine man front because if you'll watch if you'll if you'll watch this person right here, he's going to be involved in the run front too. Here's the here's the only guy. These two guys right here really have no bearing on this on this run because this is getting ready to be an outside zone with some combo blocks over here to this side. This is an outside zone. It's going to start here and it's going to break here but the combo blocks are going to come in here. But this is a this is a massive always like doing this Mike. This right here is a massive defensive wall. So what they've done is they're saying you're not going to run the ball into this defense. Let's see what happens here. As we get started, the thing that happens first of all, you get a nice push. You get a nice push. You see where Derek comes up to the and shoulders that scrum and we'll see it right here as we get to the end zone. We feel stop it Mike right there just about the time he hits the scrum. Here's what I'm talking about. The scrum is right here. This is the scrum. This is going to be the scrum right in here. Now just stop it right there. This is pretty this is pretty bunched up right here. Now what you're looking for is initial push to get Derek Henry. You always hear me say in the broadcast booth to a second or third step. Now they got him to his third step. Watch him use his shoulder to bunch through the scrum and then he bursts forward. This is really an excellent, excellent run against a loaded front. Good blocking by Chris Moore there. Traylin Burke's getting out there and helping Derek Henry for 12 yards on that play. Next play as we go to the second half, we're going to take a look at a completely different play. This is a completely different play. This is an eye formation. This is an eye formation with a tight end. Now what we're going to do with this tight end, we're going to bring this tight end across here in motion and when the tight end comes in motion, what they're going to do, they're going to change their shades on the defensive line. They're going to shift their defensive front this way and then we're going to run what's called a split dive. Now split dive is to work against the eye control of the linebacker. So the split dive is going to look like this. It's going to here and here. You split off of the eye formation, but out of this, then it's all up to the running backs vision. This is a vision run by the running back. Let's take a look at it, Mike. And Coach Mack, a lot of times you think, oh, the guy lined up at fullback has gone wrong, but that's what he's supposed to do. Split dive. All right. You're working on, you're working on the eye control of the linebackers behind the line of scrimmage. Once they start, once they start on this split dive, take, stop it right there. All right. You can start, you see, see what happens with that split dive. It took the linebacker clear out here to the backside, but that's why I say it's a vision run for the running back because now what he's got to do, everything's balled up here, but he has to have vision to see this cutback lane. And Derek Henry does a great job of this. And we'll see it from the end zone also when we run. Gain of nine. Gain of nine yards, but watch the split dive. And as soon as they start to split, stop it. See what the split does? The split right here holds. Bobby White. One of the best linebackers in the league. Now all of this is bunched up right here, but Derek Henry is looking now for the key block. He's looking for my cutback hole because he knows the split dive has taken this man out of the front. So watch Derek Henry. Watch what his eyes just, just take a look, take a look at his eyes right here and watch him when he cuts back. There it is right there. He cut a, he cut a three hole skip back there to the backside for nine yards. Very well designed, but this is Derek Henry, great vision and a, and a great jump. This is a jump cut and a jump cut for a big tall back is really something special. Good stuff.
