Lost in the shuffle: Titans Defense

Something that wasn’t really brought up much around here (I didn’t even realize it until just looking now), going into this week, the Titans had the 4th best scoring D, 16th against the pass, 11th against the rush, 9th total yards. That is a very very good defense we went against, after a horrific performance against another top D in the Niners. I think it is a really good sign that Kyle bounced back well and McC was able to keep dominating in the run game. Also, both DJ and Curtis had very good games and were big factors. A very encouraging game for our offense against a top defense. I’d have to say, our D (especially against the run and our safeties in coverage) is the bigger concern at this point. Even with Kyle being somewhat limited, our OL has done much better and our weapons are legit.

Their run defense has been rather exceptional this year. And Carolina just kept grinding after it. That was impressive, the commitment to the running game. Of course, mounting an early lead is the formula. I was very pleased with the commitment to the running game in the first half. It was a very well thought out game plan.

Their CBs were Butker, Ryan and Adoree Jackson. They aren’t a paper D. We actually played like a real team this weekend. We’ll have to see if that was a blip or not soon enough. 

Butker can play corner too? Man, we really shouldn't have let go of that guy.

(or perhaps you have a typo) :thinking:

It helps when you play Ryan Tannehill on the other side. He is trash. Aside from Derek Henry the entire Titans offense is a load of hot garbage.

I want to see Kyle play well when they are losing and I’ll be very happy.

Tannehill was making some damn good throws though. I just think their offensive play calling was the real culprit for them being so inept.

We are a completely different team if we get a lead early and are allowed to keep pounding with our run game.  This is not a team built for a shoot out or a large come from behind win.

Well tbh their d coordinator said we were the top offense they were gonna face thus far before the game . That kinda shows you who they been playing so that’s why their d look good on paper . 

This is common coach speak and not indicative of how he really feels

      If they lose the last three......

      By frankw · Posted

      I presented that scenario because this is a home game and we seemed to have improved in some capacity in that area as of recently. The problem with the possibility of sweeping the Bucs is this team has had a habit of quickly falling victim to momentum shifts. The Bucs are coming off a bitter loss the same as the Panthers but the Bucs have a much better proven track record this time of year and they have performed when the pressure is on unlike our Panthers. We have a shot against the Seahawks here in BOA but that is a matchup that could quickly get out of hand because they are a well coached team and that goes back to the momentum shifts I mentioned. I just don't see this team beating the Bucs in their stadium to close the season. Tall order to say the least.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I’d give it another year for Sanders and Evans, I don’t much care what you do with Tremble’s spot. Let him have another year or maybe replace him. Haven’t looked at his contract so that may be the determining factor.

      Following the crazy up down pattern we finish 9-8 with an improbable sweep of TB, and lay an egg in the home playoff game.  I don’t know if I can sign on to sweeping TB but I suppose it’s possible, they aren’t really that good this year.    ps I can buy beating TB Sunday and losing to Seattle.  Then it just gets to can you fluke one game. Any given Sunday. So we’ll see.
