Titans expect misdirection plays to help DeMarco Murray, Derrick Henry

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans' run game might not be as complex as it appears when the season opens Sept. 11 against the Vikings at Nissan Stadium.

Last season, when Mike Mularkey was interim coach getting his team ready for a game against Carolina, he spoke admiringly about how the Panthers featured core plays in their ground game.

“A lot of runs that they run are the same runs that they’re handing to the backs, except there is a lot of window dressing, there is a lot of distraction, there is a lot of 'Look over here while we do things over here,' which I think is good,” Mularkey said.
