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

      Complementary Football, or: How to Lose a Game

      That was when it looked like they decided to run clock, but not all of them realized it was a close catch. That’s honestly on Bryce and JT. they’re both the ones who saw the catch was close and they need to be aware it might get reviewed.  im not sure it would have mattered since it was a booth review but neither the qb or receiver played their part there.  XL just making these works incidentally was just a cherry on the pie.

      How will the Panthers prepare for Atlanta?

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Accepting defeat is not an attribute that’s relevant to a fan. Player maybe, yeah I think they wanna win. but as a fan this product ain’t good enough to be Atlanta from my observations we can’t stop the run, and we can’t score. They run the ball well. And get the ball out quick just not a good match up

      This.  It seems like the front office is far more interested in coming up with a "find" than fielding a winning team.  As a result, they are getting talked about a good bit - just not the way they want. I still say to take the top draft guides and rank the players 1-275.  Then send in a ball boy, equipment manager or cheerleader to pick the highest player left on the board.  If this was our process, we'd be way ahead on our rebuild. Instead, we get these mystery picks with 31 other GM's/coaches scratching their heads while they do their jobs.  For proof I offer XL, DJ Johnson, Trevin Wallace, Jonatha Mingo, etc. The only "benefit" we get is UDFA's coming in and beating out the mystery picks.
