Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans Open Game Thread

VS.  


NUTS AND BOLTS

Date: October 21st, 2007
Time: 12:00 p.m. Central
Location: Reliant Stadium, Houston, Texas
Records: Titans (3-2) Texans (3-3)
Weather: 82 degrees, 0% chance of showers, wind SSE 10 mph
TV: CBS
Radio: 103.3 WKDF
Texans Coverage: Battle Red Blog and The Houston Chronicle

This is going to be short and sweet.  Hopefully we will get to see Vince Young make his 2nd career start in front of his hometown crowd.  If not, we need to pray that the defense can hold up against Matt Schaub and the Texans' offense.

Update [2007-10-21 11:52:6 by Jimmy]: Kerry Collins has been officially announced as the starter. Let's go defense!!

I expect
Chris Henry will have a huge day.  Texans are already giving up like 177 yards a game and with Henry's speed and strenght he should be able to break some really good runs.  If his vision has developed enough to see the cut backs and he is gone for huge chunks.

Andre Johnson is on the inactive list so we definitely won't have to worry about him.

collins
Will be fine!  He's got more than 3 weeks in this offense now.  Our O-line is good enough to give him the time he needs.  

He just might have a huge game against the Texans

I've been MIA lately
but i'm back...

and i'll admit, i'm depressed with Vince not starting...

I have no confidence in Kerry Collins...and Chris Henry for that matter....

Go defense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With Vince not playing, Cortland Finnegan is my favorite Titan on the field...

I foresee...
a great game by Keith Bulluck. The defense again will have to save the day and he will be at the forefront. :)

how

good
he hit the holes hard....and caught 2 screen passes and looked explosive on those too....

by zackmann on Oct 21, 2007 1:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

looks like
collins is still way better at passing than young as long as he gets the protection

by LastSd on Oct 21, 2007 1:19 PM CDT reply actions  

except
i trust young more on 3rd down passing downs...and also on passing downs in the red zone...

which makes sense since 3rd down and red zone is when the pressure blitzing is most likely coming...

no issue with field goals but..
with a short field and also playing teams that are putting up td's it'd be nice to convert a few

I must say, the offense hasn't looked as horrible as I thought it would.

Also, our defense is really, really good.

it's strange too because last night i was looking in the guinness world records 99 book and i wondered to myself what the field goal record in a game was.. it was 7 by 4 different people, and that record still stands. i just thought that was very odd since i havent picked up that book in years.. btw henry looks good

i remember
last season bulluck and hope used to get 10+ tackles per game now we hardly see him over 5

by LastSd on Oct 21, 2007 2:20 PM CDT reply actions  

That's probably due to the fact..
that our defense out on the field a lot less this year, and is allowing a lot less yards, thus less plays.

4th qtr.
fisher rarely loses when we lead at start of fourth. Shall we claim the win?

by LastSd on Oct 21, 2007 3:42 PM CDT reply actions  

What a collapse!
That was just aweful.  AWFUL!  That was a let down by the offense, defense, and coaching staff.  Sure the offense pulled it out at the end, but had Bironas missed the last FG, it would of been a collapse worse than the Giants/Titans game last year.  Just because there were a couple of long passes and a successful FG doesn't excuse it.  This is 3 weeks in a row that they have not played very good football (I know, they did the first 3 quarters).  This is not a very good Titans football team right now!  There, I said it!  I hate saying it, but it has not been good lately.  I'm not saying they won't be, but right now they are not.  

We failed twice to recover an onside kick...since the rule change, recoveries by the kicking team has been horrible, the Titans failed, got lucky because of a penalty, then failed again.  This was not good!!!!

Thank God Bironas did what he did!  

by gotitans27 on Oct 21, 2007 3:44 PM CDT reply actions  

collective effort
this was a collective effort at the end we can put it all on the defense, if it was 32-7 going into the 4th quarter then our offense has to answer some of those scores or at least run the ball with a long sustaining drive. so let's not just blame the defense.

by b3tts32 on Oct 21, 2007 3:56 PM CDT reply actions  

I have this weird conspiracy theory...
Kubiak, thinking the game is over due to the fact that Fisher hardly loses when he has the lead in the 4th qtr., made a deal with the Titans that he will allow Bironas to break the record if the Titans allow them to comeback so as to avoid another embarrassment infront of the home crowd.

Just a way soften the pain the def gave me today. :(

Go Titans!

by Pinoy Titan on Oct 21, 2007 3:56 PM CDT reply actions  

defense
our defense is so much better when we press the CB's up to the line of scrimmage...

our prevent coverage only prevents us from winning...
