D-line vs. Tennessee O-line

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Last year, the Titans finished with the second best number of sacks allowed and the second best rushing system in the league. So far, they still rank pretty high in the preseason stats in both of those catagories, thanks to some decent turnover in a well established line. The new players and the depth chart do not appear to be weaknesses for them. So, having said all of that, how do you think our own promising defensive line will fare against them?

they have a pretty solid oline. but so did the Jets...I think we will do fine. Im more concerned about getting that passing game going. their secondary has a good safety in Hope and a really good corner in Finnegan

Would love to see CJ taken down for a loss a few times. I'd take that over a sack.

It's make or break time. If they fail against the Titans then the defense will be exposed. So far they have looked dominant but iunno...

Tenn has much better options running behind the OL. Jets were the number one running team last year but the team we faced lost the talent that produced the majority of that production.

I think Vince Young is gonna look like poo with our D, also, CJ will prolly break off a good run or two, but I think this will not be like the past 2 games and our RB's will look better and the receivers will step up.

I sure hope he does. It would also be nice to hold CJ to like a 3 YPC average.

If we can hold CJ to a 3, we'd never have to take about Offense, ever.

I just don't like CJ. No clue why. Probably because I don't like many players who don't wear a Panthers uniform.

we don't handle running QBs that well. more recently...Josh Johnson and Josh Freeman. I mean as long as they are throwing the ball is all good. But when they start running around them seem to eat us up. I still remember the Tennessee game from 2007...

Will be a good test for our pass rush. We've had two good outings against what I consider stationary pocket QB's, not much mobility. Young can be elusive, and it will be interesting to see if we over-pursue and give him roll out passing lanes, or if they go with more of an edge contain to keep him from scrambling.

That might require a gameplan though, and it is preseason...and I'm talking out of my ass a little.

[Wither]

Seriously though, the d-line has looked good and I think it has more to do with effort and energy than skill. Or maybe I'm an idiot.

That was with our old, slow defensive line but now we have fresh blood and a lot of faster bodies to help contain. It'll be interesting to see what happens but I'm not so worried about that now.
