Vince threw the ball more accurately on Sunday than he has at pretty much any point. Hopefully he will be able to keep that up.

The obvious advantage, as you mentioned, is that he has the mobility to scramble for 1st downs and keep plays alive.

Should be a fun match-up to watch. I expect for a lot more of the load to fall on Vince’s shoulders this week than last.

I am not really sure what happened. Pretty much everyone on the team was playing worse than they did last season.

I can only remember one other time that Bud Adams, the Titans owner, has spoken out, and it was in 2004 when the team started out 1-4. That team turned around and made the AFC Championship game. This team isn’t going to do that, so we will see what happens.

1. The change of Defensive Coordinator didn’t help. He may or may not be a serviceable DC, but he had been a terrific Secondary Coach. The new Secondary Coach doesn’t seem to be all that good; both the safeties—Pro-Bowl safeties a year ago—have been frequently out of position all season long.

Added to that, the Titans’ starting Nickel Back and both starting CBs have been out for several weeks. It was after those guys got hurt that this team went from losing close games to losing by HUGE margins.

Also, Kerry Collins played well last year. This year, he has been dreadful. That led to a LOT of 3-and-outs. Which in turn out even more strain on the Defense.

And finally… Punt Return Failure. If you fumble a punt, you give your opponent a short field. This has happened A LOT.

2. I’d expect at least one. Even in horrific losing efforts, CJ still rushes for 130+ yards and has 7 or so ypc. Seriously, check the stats from the Pats game. CJ actually played well.

3. They like to put in CJ early and then bring in LenDale when the Defense is tired. Most would expect the opposite to happen (i.e. wear down a Defense with your bigger back), but that’s not what they do. If the Titans have a lead and want to run the clock, you will see heavy doses of LDW.

4. Does VY scare you?

Seriously, I have no idea what to expect. Just as VY can sometimes dominate a game, he can also make huge errors. I expect Smith is the same way. What scares me is that the Titans D-Line hasn’t been consistent getting pressure. I think if the Titans can bring pressure, then mistakes can follow. If not, well, most QBs can make you pay when they have time. TN’s secondary hasn’t been great, so I’m not expecting miracles.

I’m defenitely not please to know that Finnegan is back and healthy, especially since he came off the injury and picked off Garrard in his first game back. I also see CJ gettting at least 2 runs of 20+, he’s just too damn good.

Alex Smith should scare you, he’s back from the dead you know (in other words, not his QB ability should frighten you, the fact that he’s the “living dead” should).

What else could we do…topless Gold Rush behind the other teams’ end zone?

We will come over and do a whole post “thanking you for being great fans” but calling your coach and trainers and groundskeepers cheaters.

That is how we roll in the AFC South!

/Not really. Please read the sarcasm above!

Our secondary is healthy again. That hasn’t been the whole problem, but it has been part of the problem.

and the 1/4th that is hurt sucks, so we are better off.

but I sure hope he is.

I can even explain to this fanbase and community. He was a part of the original group that was the Titans, and no Titans fan can ever forget that final drive in the Super Bowl.

It was disappointing to learn the circumstances surrounding his death, but no player has done more for this community than McNair did.

I think Fisher was dangerously close to losing the locker room without a win. Things have been a lot more pleasant on all fronts this week.

But Chris Johnson predicts 10-6.

made a long term offer to Albert before last season, and according to Albert, they were only a few million apart. He says the Titans refused to even meet him halfway. The Titans haven’t commented on that of course. I think they made an initial offer last offseason, but they weren’t willing to come anywhere close to what the Redskins gave him.

The offensive line hasn’t been playing nearly as well as they did last year. Collins only got sacked 8 times in 16+ games last season. He was sacked 6 times in 6 games this season. They looked better on Sunday, but the Jags defense isn’t a great gauge.

The best way to stop CJ is to keep him from getting to the edge because you don’t catch him if he gets to the edge.

Kenny Britt has been pretty good, but the Titans haven’t done much to get him on the field. He is the 3rd receiver, and the Titans don’t use a lot of 3 receiver sets. He has made some big plays when he has been out there though.

To me, Brandon Jones was always a tease. He would have a good camp or a good game but was never able to string any of it together. Sometimes it was because of injury and sometimes it was because he forgot how to catch the ball. I wasn’t that sad to see him go.

take a note from the Ravens’ playbook and have Ray Lewis sit on his back while Ed Reed twists his ankle as hard as he can…

don’t start getting me nervous about losing Manusky now that he’s finally a free man at DC.

It seems to me that Chuck Cecil is trying to run Schwartz’s system without Haynesworth and hasn’t really been able to figure out how to make it work. Schwartz would have been better equipped to make the adjustments.

FYI, the system is based around getting pressure with the front four and minimal blitzing, so you can see how the loss of Haynesworth could throw a wrench in that.

Would you allow Manusky to leave for the Chargers next season if we could get Norv Turner for OC?

Now anything else on special teams is a little scary.
