Tony Pollard achieved career highs in his first season with the Tennessee Titans, totaling 1,079 rushing yards over 260 carries. Teammate Tyjae Spears only received 84 carries, leading to an imbalanced attack after the Titans lost All-Pro Derrick Henry. Coach Brian Callahan aims for better distribution of carries in year two, allowing both Pollard and Spears to perform at their best. The need for a balanced rotation is critical to keep all running backs healthy and competitive, with consideration for using additional backs in the lineup.
In his first year with the Tennessee Titans, running back Tony Pollard reached career highs -- 1,079 rushing yards and 260 carries. However, his workload significantly overshadowed teammate Tyjae Spears, who had only 84 carries, creating an imbalanced distribution of carries that the Titans coach hopes to rectify in Year 2.
Titans coach Brian Callahan stated, "In a perfect world, it's a healthier division of labor [between Pollard and Spears]. I think we can do a better job of managing that load so they both play a little more evenly." This statement emphasizes the need for balanced carry distribution to maintain player health.
