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

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
