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.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
