Titans Game Thoughts

[barrett]

Great back against the wall win. We may have lost the season with an 0-2 start.

I still think a 4-3 SLB is not worth a 1st round pick on principal, but perhaps if your team is extremely soft and can't stand up physically at the point of attack like we are, then I can see it. We finally stood up to a team physically today after getting bullied for years.

Either way Cushing played very well and added a lot to our run defense. Now if our 2nd level could make a tackle on occasion when a runner gets through the 1st line of defense.

Cushing and the rest of the team also played the screen passes very well.

In general I think we will kept getting burned by big plays defensively. We don't have the talent to take chances unless we are willing to give up big ones.

Mario can be a top DE by simply lining up and pushing the OT into the QB's lap. His physical tools are amazing.


Our play calling was finally aggressive and we went down field like we should. We have too many talented skill guys to throw all underneath routes. And I love the first down PA on the goal line to OD.

It was great to see Jacoby Jones used in the passing game. He still has no hands, but he is a weapon. He needs to be given a chance to make a big play on offense a handful of times per game. He is especially dangerous opposite of AJ.

Slaton now has 3 fumbles in two games. I think he is simply trying to hard to make plays. He has more pressure this year and a contract issue hanging in the future. I hope he gets off and settles down next week.

All I can think of right now.
