Crennel can't seem to figure out how to use his DL personnel.
Mercilus is great as a weakside pass rusher. He's made plays when the defense has been in passing down situations. Clowney has typically been better in run support, though not today after his back injury.
Interesting how the defense sorta 'woke up' in the middle of the first half. They lacked emotion during the Titans' first FG drive.
The offensive playcalling was terrible at times. The TE screen to CJ? Yikes. Dropping back to a sack when you just need to run the ball before the half? Wha?
Hopkins is having a terrific season, but he relies on his hands too much. He gives up his route to instead jump for balls, and his blocking is uninspired. But, oh, those hands. His TD was a beaut.
And defensively, suspect to the screen again. Cushing had a somewhat better game though.
