The Titans have been having trouble defending the pass this year and really been horrible at times.
They play two DEs at LB and have excellent safeties.
Their DC got creative last week. On one series he had 3 down linemen and then 7 rushing the passer and then 3. It caught the Bengals off guard for a bit, then they were fine.
Casey is a beast. For some reason teams feel the need to run right at him 4-5 times a game and get their RB smacked. Maybe it helps keep him grounded some? For whatever reason, expect Richardson to do this too because it's just oddly common.
The Titans have a solid DL and can make a good number of plays by themselves. Those LB/DEs can be out of position and the weak CBs can force the S to be helping in coverage. On the right play, a RB should be able to get past the DL and have a huge run against the Titans as they are sorely out of position.
They hit hard, harder than I've seen in years. You've got the excellent S and the much bigger DEs playing LB and it just seems like there's a handful of plays each week that make you swear you can almost feel it watching the game. Old Bradshaw, old Wayne, brittle Nicks, their prized QB....if the D looks fired up, I could see a few extra handoffs to Richardson to give their excitement a few plays to wear off. They are not very good on D. An offense can totally afford this luxury.
I expect the Colts to blow em out. Their CB play is terrible and Luck will probably make it seem so easy.
If I had Richardson I would start him to cover a bye this week. At worst, they're up 21-0 after one Q and he gets 20 carries and 50 yards eating up the clock. If it's at all close, as I said before, the Titans are sorely out of position to stop the run at times.
