Tennessee Titans coordinator Todd Downing aims to maximize offense, not fill Arthur Smith's shoes

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- For the second straight season, Derrick Henry led the league in both rushing attempts and rushing yards.

Rest assured, first-year Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Todd Downing will continue to dial up a lot of plays for the running back.

"It's certainly an easier job having Derrick Henry back there," Downing said. "It's no secret that it's a big part of this offense. I am looking forward to finding ways that Derrick is utilized."

Finding ways to get Henry touches was former offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's calling card. Henry carried the ball a whopping 681 times for 3,567 yards over the past two seasons with Smith in control of the offense.
