Weapon of Mass Instruction
Watch my feet!
Titans are 1-2 againts the Colts in 2006-2007.
-- Titans won 20-17 and lost 14-13 and 22-20.
-- 53 points each in the three games. A 1 point game, a 2 point game, and a 3 point game.
Yesterday's game hinged on 4 factors:-- Kevin Mawae checking off of a QB sneak when the Titans went for it on 4th and 1 in the 1st quarter at midfield. You need 1 foot. You have a 6'5" 235 QB that can run. Yet, we switch to a play that hasn't worked in 5 years.
-- Clock operator stopping the clock early on an incomplete pass at 1 second to go in the 2nd quarter on an incomplete pass by Manning. This allowed a FG that shouldn't have happened.
-- Miscues:
*****Brandon Jones dropping a pass that was right in his hands that would have set up a game winning FG.
*****Rookie Chris Davis fumbling the ball and giving Indy another chance.
-- Poor offensive playcalling and/or strategy:
*****Vince has, evidently, been told not to run much. Had a wide open 4 yard TD against JAX that he didn't run on. Against Indy, he had MANY chances to run but didn't. Yes, he ran a couple of times, but he had MANY opportunities. I was there, 50 yard line, about 25 rows up -- it was wide open.
*****Poor play calling. Why they don't put Vince on the corner to pass I have no idea. Perfect example was the last play. Why have him in the middle? Let him roll of the corner and have his options.
*****ALL DAY LONG Indy had single, man coverage on the corners and 1 safety. 8 tight in the box. Only a couple of times did Chow attempt to take advantage of it -- and it worked when he did.
Titans are getting close. Biggest issue at this point is experience and not making rookie mistakes.
Random:
-- Ben Troupe won't finish the year on this roster.
-- MLB Ryan Fowler -- not impressing at all. But...he got guaranteed money. Tulloch should be in there.
-- Michael Griffin -- most talented athlete on the Defensive side -- saw virtually no playing time. Should have put him in at MLB -- or short safety, or whatever you want to call it. That would have stopped the passes in the middle.
-- Lendale is the RB for Fisher's style of play. Chrissy can punish a suspect D but struggles when he doesn't have big holes.
-- Peyton got hit -- hard -- 4-5 times. But...he was perfectly pinpoint almost all day.
-- Titans won 20-17 and lost 14-13 and 22-20.
-- 53 points each in the three games. A 1 point game, a 2 point game, and a 3 point game.
