Game Thread W8 - Jacksonville V Tennessee (1 Viewer)

Not watching the game, but can someone please tell me how Jacksonville's best player has only four rushes in an entire half of play?! I know it's not because the Titans have bottled him up, considering he has 93 yds. rushing!!!From an 'outsider' looking in on at the NFL GameTracker stats for the 1st half, it looks like MJD is being wasted here...
He didnt get his first rush till mid way through the second. Jax came out throwing, and couldnt even get a first down. they had like a minute of TOP in the 1st quarter.
They had 4 drives in the first half.The 3rd was the MJD TD (1st play of the drive).The 1st involved a botched snap over Garrard's head (after a 6 yard pass to MSW on 1st). The were quickly in 3rd and 22.The 2nd was an incomplete to Holt, a 7 yard sweep (Thomas), then an INT.On the 4th, MJD touched the ball 3 of the 1st 4 plays, but time started to run out in the half.They haven't abandoned the running game. They just haven't executed and TEN is putting togetther some long drives (VY looks pretty good).ETA: They open the 2nd half with a 79 yard MJD TD on the 1st play (with Garrard still blocking out in front on the 5 freaking yard line)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its amazing the numbers MJD puts up..especially carrying Garrard on his shoulders as well. Not easy to run with an extra 230 on your back.

Here's hoping MJD gets atleast 5 carries in the 2nd half. :hides:

 
In the 4th & down by 3 scores, you figure Jax will have to pass...right?

Surely that'll have to involve MSW...dontcha' think?

 
Ok, I said get get MSW involved....

D.Garrard pass deep right intended for M.Sims-Walker INTERCEPTED

...but throwing a pick was not what I meant

 
That sure was some interesting play calling by Jax on that series down by 3 scores with less than 10 minutes to play.

172 yards

2 TD

This guy might be good.
Ok, no one has done it yet...34.4 ypc l

Lets see if the gave it to he 20 times that would be 688 yards. I think that would be good play calling.

Finnegan is covering him. Not good.
Sadly, Finnegan wasn't even covering him on that play (really, no one was). Finnegan was 10 yards behind MSW on that pick.
 
1st game in NFL history with a combined 4 rushing TDs of 50+ yards and the 3rd most combined yards b/w 2 opposing backs sinde 1950.
