Onto Titans

It's usually some no-name running back who catches the Steelers by surprise and has his breakout/career game.

 

Titans are scoring points this year with Henry & with Tannehill. They scare me more than the Rats. We are familiar with the Rats & usually always show up for them. Being at Tennessee, Vrabel looking like a decent coach, Henry, + they have won a few in clutch time has me worried.

 

Especially without bush

 

The Titans have a very smart coach. I think he may find a way to slow us down on offense a bit. Our defense will have to play smart and not totally sell out to stop the run. If we win easily I would be shocked.

 

Ben should be able to torch their secondary

 

They need Dupree to dominate their backup LT, and the defense has to hit Henry before he gets started.

 

Who would’ve thought the words “Tannehill has been playing great” would’ve ever been said with seriousness?

 

This is going to be the Titans first TRUE test this season. Defensively, I'm not too concerned about the Steelers offense. not intending to belittle what the Steelers have accomplished thus far this season, but their offense is kind of on life support. Roethlisburger really should have retired this past season.

Stolen from a Titans message board.

 

When people bring up the weakness of our schedule, it's important to note we are currently #1 seed in the AFC because our strength of win is more than the Titans, so there schedule has been pretty weak also. They have two last second wins (Denver, Texans [ot]), beat Jacksonville by a field goal and the Vikings by one point. We have 5 victory formation wins, and only 1 by less than 9 points.

 

Big backs are our weakness. Reminds me of when Fournette ran all over us. Lets see what this d-line and Cam Heyward are really all about.

 

Alualualuallul is a way better anchor than hargrave though.

 

Off tackle runs could be a problem this week.

 

Titans are gonna score some big points even more so without bush and hilton

 

If we don't stop Henry I agree. I would still cap them at about 25pts, 30 at the most. Could be the Big Ben show too. Ben plays well we win, if he doesn't we lose imo. The defense will need some scoring help.

 

Very depressing news for me. I hope Hilton is back soon. I can't believe we are still the favorite.

 

Titans are like the Seahawks of the AFC. Stellar offense but atrocious defense. I totally expect Ben to start slow lol

 

Yeah I can see this one as a loss

 

If Henry takes 30 tries to get to 100 yards it will be a good day and we should win.

 

Could definitely see Vrabel implementing a game plan where their offense attacks the Steelers defense through the air and downfield. (especially in the early going)

Tannehill is more than capable of handling the load so to speak. And if memory serves this will be the first game where they have both Brown and Davis at their disposal.

Defensive Line handling their Lewan-Less line is the key to the game I think.

 

Like I said before Titans are gonna score. We are gonna be groaning at our defense I bet.

Only chance I see is Ben starts hot, defense hits tannehil a couple times and we have to buckle up for the ride lol. I fear Titans over Ravens and that’s because Ravens know us well and won’t be easy either.

 

Yes
That would indicate holding us to very few points.
I’m thinking we can put 20 plus up.

 

I think we can score on them also. Tannehill trying to beat us plays in our favor, Henry chewing the clock in a close game is what I'm expecting.

 

Actually the Titans are now a -1 point favorite.
