26CornerBlitz Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Defensive Line All-Stars: A look back at Week 4's standout players Run Defender of the Week: Jurrell Casey, Titans No one expected the Tennessee Titans to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Philadelphia Eagles in back-to-back weeks, particularly while Marcus Mariota is less than 100 percent. But that’s exactly what they did on the back of some excellent play from the defense. Against the Eagles, defensive lineman Jurrell Casey was at the top of his game, finishing with five stops, three hurries, and a quarterback hit. Yet, while he made his presence felt as a pass-rusher, Casey made his biggest impact against the run: Here, Casey is aligned with an outside shade over All-Pro center Jason Kelce to the near side of the field. Casey times the snap well so he can initiate contact with Kelce, and his power knocks the center back, giving Casey the necessary space to peek inside. From there, he shows good eye discipline to identify the running back's path and makes a clean tackle behind the line of scrimmage. It’s not flashy, but Casey's a talented player who does his job and plays a valuable role on the Titans' defense. 1

It seemed to me the Eagles did a poor job identifying where the heat was coming from. The new DC has done a good job keeping opposing offenses on their toes, so far. He used a lot of small formations against the Eagles. And was blitzing CBs and ILBs at times. 23 hours ago, No Place To Hyde said: They are located in DUVALLLLLL If you want a laugh check out Duval Pride, the Jags forum.

KitchenerKaizer Posted October 2, 2018 Author Posted October 2, 2018 18 hours ago, Another Fan said: You guys have always done well against the Bills. We only have 2 wins against the Titans since the Music City Miracle. The 2006 and 2012 losses really stand out as heartbreakers from my point of view. Id wish you luck but I wanna win! I was at that 2012 game. I live much closer to Buffalo than I do Nashville and usually go to see the Titans play in Buffalo. Most of my friends are Bills fans too. But it is Thanksgiving this weekend, worst weekend for the Titans to come to Buffalo. I actually follow the Bills pretty closely and have listened to AM 550 off and on for years. Generally I cheer for the Bills if they are not playing the Titans. Before you ask -- I actually grew up in Lions' territory. But became a Houston Oilers fans because of, CFL hero, Warren Moon. Then followed the team when they moved to Tennessee. 8 hours ago, MAJBobby said: Blitz Allen early and Often. He is having trouble reading it. Play Man against our WRs. Depends what defense you are going to see. I expect the good defense being home but I expect Mariota to gash them with his legs. I imagine the Titans will blitz a ton. They used the same strategy against the Houston Cows who also have a poor OL and inexperienced QB. You guys have a good secondary which worries me as Mariota is still prone to some bad INTs. Mariota is a funny runner. He has poor lateral movement but is very fast. he also reads run opportunities well which is what makes him dangerous. In the end, i actually expect a low scoring game.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 NFL Week 5 picks: Jaguars shock undefeated Chiefs, winless Cardinals pull off upset by John Breech Tennessee (3-1) at Buffalo (1-3) 1 p.m. ET (CBS) If Mike Vrabel's goal is to win every game by exactly three points this year, then he's off to an amazing start. The Titans have won three games in a row and they've won each of those games by three points. Basically, if you've seen one Titans game this year, you've seen them all. I've watched enough of the Titans this season to know that you can sleep through the first half because nothing exciting is going to happen until the second half. You can probably also sleep through every first down on Sunday because, LUCKY US, this game will be featuring two of the three worst first-down quarterbacks in the NFL this year. Marcus Mariota can barely feel his fingers due to an injury and Josh Allen's aim is so bad, I don't think I've ever seen him hit a receiver in the fingers (or the hands), so I guess those numbers aren't that shocking. One thing you might find shocking though, is my pick. I'm not sure if it's because my liver still hurts from the weekend, which means I can't trust my gut, but I'm going with Buffalo. Here's the thing, I know the Bills are bad, but the Titans are incapable of blowing anyone out: 12 of their past 14 regular season games have been decided by one score, so I have no reason to think that's going to change this week. This game is going to go down to the wire and somehow Buffalo is going to win and then Bills fans are going to celebrate by illegally slamming themselves through tables that will most likely have been set on fire. The pick: Bills 16-13 over Titans

26CornerBlitz Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Let's overreact to Week 4 in the NFL: Is the Bears' offense for real? CHICAGO -- Hey, if the football fans in the Windy City want to overreact, who's going to tell them to cut it out? It has been quite a while since the Chicago Bearswere fun, and even with the Chicago Cubs back in the playoffs this town is fired up about a 3-1 first-place football team that just put 48 points on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on its way into the bye. Mitchell Trubisky just quadrupled his season touchdown pass total in one delirious afternoon, and if you're not allowed to overreact to that, what's the point of being a fan? So let's start with the game I got to see in person as part of my Sunday NFL Countdown duties -- a game that was 38-3 at the half and ended 48-10 as Trubisky buried the Bucs' weeklong QB controversy with six touchdown passes of his own against a Tampa Bay team that couldn't do a thing right no matter who was taking the snaps. The Titans are going to the Super Bowl For the third week in a row, Tennessee won a miracle game -- this time in overtime against the defending Super Bowl champs. And while Weeks 2 and 3 were mishmash games with their offense not at full strength, this was a 26-point, 397-yard, fourth-down-converting answer to all the Mariota doubters out there. Graziano's verdict: NOT AN OVERREACTION. Hey, the AFC isn't all that great. The Patriots and Steelers have looked wobbly. The Chiefs can't keep up what they're doing. The Jaguars can't beat the Titans. Why not this bunch? They just won two straight games against 2017 playoff teams and they have only two more of those left -- home against both the Patriots in November and Jacksonville in December. The hard part of the 2018 season for the Titans may already be over, and they're 3-1.

billsfan89 Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I really liked the Titans coming out of this season. The defense and offense are loaded with talent and they massively upgraded their coaching. I projected them to make the playoffs and compete for their division. They honestly should take care of the Bills even if their offense struggles.
