One In The Win Column - Photos from the Titans Jaguars Game

Long wait but the Titans finally won a game. A lot of things to be happy about and a few concerns still are evident. One thing for sure is I'm glad the rest of the home games are at noon on Sunday. I know the players and the team like prime time and under the lights, but I'll take noon starts over anything else. That's when football is meant to be played. There's a Christmas game late start but I don't think I'll be there for that one.

 

So here's Power to the Noon Starts:

Kyle Vanden Bosch had his red contacts in so I knew to expect big things from him:

Even though the Titans didn't recover this fumble it was good to see David Thornton and the "D" were creating opportunities:

I mentioned concerns and this is one/many of them. Poor tackling. But that Maurice Jones-Drew is hard to bring down:

Those red contacts paid off. KVB gets his first sack:

Damn...there he goes again:

4072793280_b0937be9d4_medium

Funny who his lead blocker is on these long runs.

 

 

This was awesome to see. I wish I could have photographed the catch. This is when Vince Young stepped back and avoided the rush and found Kenny Britt along the sidelines. VY threw that ball with authority:

Another positive about the game was seeing Michael Griffin back to being a ball hawk:

4072779288_9b77c85027_medium

 

 

I think about this moment Jones-Drew was wanting a piece of Finnegan more than blocking him:

4072773360_ff74cb2aaf_medium

 

 

History in the making. Chris Johnson turned in the best rushing performance by an Oiler/Titan in franchise history:

4072767312_2ffa2dace6_medium

 

 

That was so good it was worth another look. He was out of gas by this time:

Let the dancing begin:

4069448469_dfd562db09_medium

 


Have the Titans returned to '08 form? Is this the team we expected to open the season? I sure hope so. The defense put in a pretty good performance and Chris Johnson was awesome. Vince Young was impressive and hopefully will only get better from here. Next up is away at San Francisco. I'm hoping they come back on a win streak.

That's my fault...

that Thornton looks funny like that. I was late to catch him with his fist in the air and he was bringing it down by the time I photographed him. The thing that always gets me about him is the size of his arms. He’s got some sledge hammers.

Awesome.

Christie kicks it high and short...Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25...He dishes it back to Wycheck...He throws it across the field to Dyson...

They are not HDR

I don’t believe it’s possible to take HDR photos of live action. You have to take 3 to 9 shots of a subject in different exposures to blend together to produce an HDR image. I do some editing to them that brings out some detail that sort of gives them an HDR feel. So I understand you asking that.

could win some prizes; very cool.

Those pics look like a video game. That’s awesome.

I did this a few times at that dump of a site I used to write for so I figured, hell, why not try it out over at Stampede Blue you know? At least this time someone will actually be reading it.

WOW

That shot is sic…no I mean sick. LOL

I can’t get good shots of the endzone. I’m 5 rows back and everyone stands up of course, so I can’t get a good view of anything in the endzone. That second shot of CJ was just before he left his feet and fell into the endzone and I have the next frame of that but there’s a bunch of heads in the shot. So bad that I couldn’t crop them out.

Great pictures!

I’m looking foward to seeing more of your work.
