D-line vs. Tennessee O-line

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Just run play-action and send Steve Smith deep... worked against them with Andre Johnson last year.

And Cortland 'burned-again-negan' is kinda overrated IMO. Hell, we even wrote a limerick about him.

Would work if Smitty were playing. As it stands, we'll really see who can stand out as a second reciever this week.

True, then again Indy and us kinda wrote the book on how to beat Tennessee through the air.

Hopefully you guys can write the book about beating them on the ground this year.

Considering that the Titans' defense last year invited teams to pass against them, yes, it will be interesting to see how well we can run against them.

Jarrett and Moore are going to tear it up. Count on it.

I was about as serious as a thread full of horse pictures.

Cardinals were doing well against Titans defense(receivers were getting open pretty often...) but the quarterbacks couldn't get them the ball. I can count several throws that would have resulted in a good completion if they were thrown accurately. I think we'll do fine on offense, but I bet they have 100+ rushing yards in the first half.

ah yes... always leavin a paper trail. a friend of mine (steelers fan) says its b/c that hurney and the steelers owner are friends. any truth to that?

that would be JR and the Rooney fam. I dont doubt Hurney is tight w/ them as well though

yeah something like that... i was hammered when he was talking and being a steelers fan i don't pay him much attention anyway, but i remember him saying that its because they are friends and that they make it happen everyyear b/c they want the teams to mirror each other. probably just a rumor... wanted to see if anyone else heard anything about this.

[Panthro]

its a richardson/rooney thing

Another great test of our run defense and pass rushing. Can't wait for this game.

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...

Johnson 11-17, 147 yards, 1 int, 0 td, rating 67.53.

Freeman 23-44, 344 yards, 5 ints, 0 td, rating 38.64

Bring them on...

Johnson 11-17, 147 yards, 1 int, 0 td, rating 67.53.

Freeman 23-44, 344 yards, 5 ints, 0 td, rating 38.64

Bring them on...

Now you know that relevant statistics are not allowed to make a point. You are only allowed to use baseless opinion and conjecture.

Even if they don't look great, it's only preseason, and the starting lineup hasn't even been decided!

That being said, I'm looking forward to this game, and every game. Seeing how our young dline plays. They are playing well early. Can get even better as time goes on.

Johnson 11-17, 147 yards, 1 int, 0 td, rating 67.53.

Freeman 23-44, 344 yards, 5 ints, 0 td, rating 38.64

Bring them on...

i said as long as they were throwing its all good...

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Freeman - 3 rushes for 30 yards (longest rush was 20 yards)

Johnson - 8 rushes for 45 yards (longest rush was 12 yards)

Yep, we got burned there.
