A graduate of Texas Christian University (TCU), John Morgan most recently served as an account services intern with OBI Creative in Omaha, Nebraska. Outside of his professional endeavors, John Morgan is an avid fan of the Tennessee Titans.
Titans head coach Mike Mularkey says he wants to employ a smashmouth style this season. His quarterback, Marcus Mariota, appears to be on board with that offensive philosophy.
In a recent interview, Mariota said he’d be willing to hand off the ball as many as 40 times per game if it put the Titans in a position to win, citing the presence the team’s two workhorse runningbacks: newly acquired DeMarco Murray and rookie Derrick Henry.
Meeting that quote would be an impressive feat. Only four teams have averaged 40 carries a game since the league expanded its schedule to 16 games. The last one to do it was the 1984 Chicago Bears.
Murray is motivated to boost his production in 2016, and Henry is a Heisman Trophy winner, so there’s little doubt the Titans will focus more heavily on their running game this season, even if it isn’t the extreme of 40 carries a game.
