So...the Titans, other than being in the worst division in the NFL

I haven't watched them closely yet but there's really nothing about their team on either side of the ball that worries me. Sure their rookie QB has looked good in his 2 games against the NFC South, but the Bucs and Aints are trash on D and Josh will make Marcus pay unlike the Aints defenders did on that 60+ yard TD to the TE off of their hands. They have no run game, no run defense and a decent secondary when healthy. Horrible matchup for them going against us considering we've been poor against the run but great against the pass and are the #1 rushing offense in the league. Obviously shouldn't overlook them and this is still the NFL so any given sunday, yada yada yada, but this could be our easiest opponent so far this year.

Byron fuggin' Bell at Right Tackle is what they got, and the rest of the O-line is just as bad except LT Lewan. He's not bad, but not exceptional, either.

Couple twin tower WRs Hunter and DGB. One had a TD and the other had like 70 yards vs. the Taints terrible defense, so of course they're now the second coming of Jerry Rice according to their fans. Their real #1 WR Kendall Wright sat out the Taints game. He's a Randall Cobb-type, except not as good. RBs and TEs are a collection of has beens, never weres, and he's still playings?

Defense is where they have some talent. Dick LeBeau left Pittsburgh and joined the Titan staff. He's turning that unit into an above average one. Titan fans will point to their #5 ranking, and I point back at their schedule so far. Hey if we have to deal with it, so do they. DT Jurrell Casey is their KK, but without Star, CJ, Jared, Ealy, etc. OLBs Derrick Morgan and Brian Orakpo are getting to the QB. Secondary is overachieving as a whole. Run defense based on the matador philosophy of let Safety Michael "Whiffin'" Griffin try to live up to that draft position.

 

P.S. The Flaming Thumb Tacks are eating $4.34 million in dead money cap charges because they cut Michael Oher. The Tacks are doing the same with Velasco. He's taking up $250k of dead money cap charge. Thanks neighbor!

 

TL;DR Rioters going to Nashville (which locals believe is a tourist hotspot for everyone in the league) should bring plenty of banners. They'll be the only ones there.

their fans are thinking they can win their division now at 2-6 hahaha. Guess I can't laugh too hard considering us last season but still

Not even that ridiculous either lol.  They win this week (they won't) and they're only 1 game off the division leaders.  Damn

The only possible way they could beat us is if we have a total mental snoozefest post-Gauntlet. The Titans (right now) have nothing. I do like Mariota a lot though, they'll have something with him in the future.

 

Someone alluded to Byron Bell...he doesn't start for them does he?

Right Tackle.  He was playing guard but they just moved him to tackle.

    • I don't really care as much about athleticism and arm strength.  While Murray might be better in that regard, I think Bryce has enough of both to do well in the NFL. The main reason this trade reference is silly is the money and the fact that Murray has been around a long while and hasn't proven that he can perform consistently when the game is on the line.  Bryce has shown that he can play well in the clutch (in the few opportunities he has had).  
    • If Bryce can continue the level of play he showed after the benching, then there's a good shot we at least compete to win the division. Tampa is a solid team but even last year in our week division they went 10-7 and will be on their 4th OC in as many years. The Saints are a mess and are in a mist of a half rebuild half still trying to compete mode and will probably be starting a rookie QB. The Falcons are a wild card as they have a really good offense but are we really crowning Michael Penix as a franchise QB after just 3 games?  The only thing I want out of this season is for Bryce to come out and without a shadow of a doubt prove he's our franchise QB. If that happens then most of the fanbase would be happy and I believe we'd be in a good place record wise at the end of the season. Maybe falling just short of winning the division with a chance to sneak in as a wild card team.
