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

      Can we all admit it now?

      Even if you concede that Bryce gets better as the season goes on you cant have a QB that just surrenders the first 2 games and the next 4 or 5 are iffy

      I understand very clearly that Wilks’ approach in ‘22 wasn’t going to make us able to beat the better teams, but he got us competing and succeeding against the teams we should beat, similar teams to us. And it felt the best any stretch has felt, under Tepper.  But Tepper and the mob here had to have themselves the Offensive Minded HC, play caller guru. How’s that working out?    I know this: guys in the locker room were all about Wilks. He equaled or bested the win total of every other coach under Tepper before or since. It is a fact, and not for nothin.    FWIW I didn’t think he was gifted as a DC, when he was here as the DC. But he was excellent coaching DBs. All those jobs are different I guess, take different skill sets. I think his strength as a HC was getting people to follow him. That goes a long way.  After what has befallen this team since rejecting him, I don’t feel like a lesser fan for supporting him, I promise you that.

      Since you also posted the Denver game, worth pointing out thumbing do anything for three quarters after the first drive until Denver went into garbage (Bryce) time.  They got a meaningless late touchdown to make it a 14 point and give Bryce some yards.  Since we’re moving into superlatives, they weren’t competitive at all in that game.  and Bryce also got complete outshone by Bo Nix and anyone with pride would retire after that.
