Steelers 13 Titans 10: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

in Tennessee Titans Recaps

PrintLast night was a tough way to open the season, no doubt, but it is important to remember that it was only one game. Here is what I take away as the good, bad and ugly from last night.
The Good
The run defense. The Steelers had 23 carries for 36 yards. We will take that.
Kenny Britt. Britt had 4 catches for 85 yards last night. I think that already makes him the best rookie receiver the Titans have ever had.
The Bad
The defensive play calling. I still can't understand how they don't either blitz, press the receivers, or both in overtime. And don't come at me with the crap excuse that blitzing Ben Roethlisberger doesn't work. How did giving him all day to do that stupid pump fake work out for you? Combine that with giving his receivers a 10 yard cushion, and you have the recipe for not seeing the ball in overtime.
Dropped passes. Alge Crumpler let a ball hit him in gut. Justin Gage dropped a catchable ball in the end zone (now in fairness, he may have had that ball knocked loose when he got popped afterwards). Gage also had the final third down of the game go off his finger tips. They never gave us a replay that showed us how catchable that ball really was, but an NFL receiver needs to make that play.
Offensive play calling. Chris Johnson and LenDale White combined for 23 carries in the game. That simply isn't enough, and it wasn't like the run wasn't successful. They averaged 3.7 yards per carry. Now that isn't setting the world on fire, but it is more than serviceable against the Steelers' vaunted defense.
The Ugly
Special teams. All facets of special teams were bad last night. Stefan Logan averaged 29 yards per kick return while Javon Ringer averaged 19.7.
Cortland Finnegan looked lost on punt returns, but you can't blame that on him. The blame for that falls squarely on the shoulders of Jeff Fisher. Cort had only returned 4 punts in the NFL before last night. He looked lost because it is something he has never really done, and it killed the Titans last night. Signing a guy that can help in the return game should be the #1 priority before the game against the Texans. Heck, I don't care if you bring Mark Jones back with only one hamsting. At least he catches the ball when it is punted.
Craig Hentrich shanked a punt at the most inoportune time.
And then there was the field goal team. It really doesn't matter if you blame Rob Bironas, Ken Amato, or the line. In the end all that matters is both of those kicks have to be made.

How about the Ugliest?
Pass Rush.
Best I could tell, all our pressure/sacks came from blitzing. The run defense looked solid, yes. But, Albert’s loss was felt in the pass rush. We never had to bring extra guys last year to get pressure, but still got to the quarterback with four down linemen. That’s what made this defense hum. You give any quarterback in this league 5 seconds to throw and they will pick you apart every time.
What does everyone have against blitzing?
Getting pressure with your front four is great, but there’s 31 other teams in the league that have won Super Bowls by coming with a blitz every now and again. I don’t think it would kill us.
I have nothing against blitzing.
But, that hasn’t been our MO the past few years. Getting pressure with 4>5>6. In the end, results are all that matter, though.
I said it a while back, and it scares me even more, when you bring extra guys, someone is getting left on an island. Cortland doesn’t concern me. Nick Harper does. Getting pressure with a blitz, versus getting getting pressure with the front 4 are two entirely different things because you’re a lot more susceptible to big plays when you bring extra guys.
Cecil obviously felt the same way constantly bringing four and dropping into zone.
you would take 4 sacks every week.
only one fewer than we got last time against these guys, and that was billed as total domination (and rightly so). main difference was the ball never popped out on any of them this time.

No doubt a 320 lb tackle is missed on the line
when you’re going up against an O-line as large as Pittsburg’s. By the end of the game, our linemen were just worn out. Maybe some extra pressure from a linebacker or even a safety (that wasn’t covering the pass extraordinarily well all night anyhow, Chris Hope) would’ve helped ease the burden.
This is what scares me about Cecil
The fact that he doesn’t have the coordinator experience means it’s going to take some time to figure out the right schemes and the right play calls. He could be the greatest coach in the world, but if he guesses wrong as a coordinator it will come back to bite him.

the level of insecurity you show by changing the pic is AWESOME!
keep doing it, your are really “showing” us…more douchebag with trannie’s pics please
And as far as pressing the receivers in OT
I feel like Nick Harper had to give San-Antonio Holmes a good 10 yards so he wouldn’t just get roasted on the fly route. Seemed like Rapelisberger could see all the holes in our zones, and he had plenty of time to do it.

seriously.....
your offense looked bad last night. CJ popped off a couple of runs, but nothing major. i dont think White went over 50 yds rushing (i could be wrong) the D looks okay, even without Albert “Mr. Fatty” Haynesworth. i said over on BRB we are likely to get a very pissed team, so we will see what happens next week.
"If you're an asshole, you're gonna come back as a cockroach or a worm or a fuckin' anal bead, okay? If you're a man and you act heroic, you'll come back as an eagle. You'll come back as a dragon."

you guys are the last team in the division. so until sunday, yes, i am gonna talk smack.

Okay!
They are a team stuck in mediocracy so long, even the benefit of low expectations hasn’t helped them.
They lack the courage to do what’s needed to contend: either spending freely to build a veteran contender or trading their more valuable talent to load-up on blue-chip draft picks at several position. Instead, they harbor a couple of talented players who’ll simply leave for greener pastures when the contract is up, while meanwhile congering insufficient quality picks in the draft to build a contender from scratch.
You’ll showcase the Johnsons the every-once-in-a-while you get them, to keep butts in the seats, but it’ll be nothing more than the NFL equivalent of watching Sammy Sosa hit his 60th HR of the season on an under-.500 Cubs team. Yeah, Andre’ – nice catch! Too bad the playoffs are decades away….

For the record
Sosa had 3 60 home runs seasons, and the Cubs were only under .500 in one of those seasons.

like how im pretty sure they were throwin all kinda f bombs at gage when he caught the pass, but oh that all changes when he wants to give one of them a ball. who cares.

I'd also like to add
That because you don’t have an NFL franchise in the Houston area anymore, you are more than welcome to don the Titans blue and cheer for an actual, honest-to-goodness football team.
Note: the agglomeration of 5 good players on three sides of the ball that you call a “team” doesn’t hold water. Feel free to cheer for the Titans from now on.

nah, no thanks. the TITS is an alias….

gloves off.
say what you want, but it’s no secret why you guys had to “steal” the oilers… it’s because no OTHER team in their right mind wants to camp in country ass nashville.
besides the fact…
that you blew the only opportunity you had at winning a superbowl.
now…
you have a has been alcoholic quarterback, who is starting AHEAD of your “chosen boy”. again, another guy you “stole” from texas.
seeing as texas has been so kind to you… gave you a team, gave you a quarterback…
you would think that you TIT fans would be more appreciative. (talk about biting the hand that fed you….)

who is starting AHEAD of your "chosen boy". again, another guy you "stole" from texas.
Does that mean you stole Mario Williams from Carolina? I’m sure Miami would like Andre Johnson back as well by that logic.

Congrats on misunderstanding even the most basic concepts of Greek history
The Titans were a race, not just one entity. That story is about Cronus specifically (not to mention that if you read it, he doesn’t eat the Olympians, he ‘stores them in his belly’. Kind of hard for them to stay alive for decades then escape if they’ve been chewed and digested.)
As for the inbreeding: you realize that’s a pretty standard element of every creation myth, right?

Run blocking
It looked pretty weak up the middle. That was a problem in preseason. CJ got to the edge a few times, and I know the Steelers are tough to run against, but they have to do a better job of opening holes in the middle.
Hmm
I thought it was a bit strange how the Titans didn’t try to go up the field and win the game when they had the ball last in the fourth quarter. Instead, they simply ran plays where Collins would just jump into a pile.. Looked kind of funny if you asked me.
I have to say, put Pittsburgh in that position and they would try to make sure the game isn’t decided on a coin flip.
When I say who dey, you say we dey.
Follow me @Sn0w13allz
Field position obviously was critical there. It was the right decision.
I believe they recovered the fumble inside the 5 yd. line. I would expect Tomlin to do the same as Fisher in that circumstance. Why? He knows the Steelers have a penchant for winning ugly, close games…and Big Ben running back and forth inside the end zone with a blitzing Titans defense (which I’m sure they would be doing in the circumstance). Keep in mind…last 2 games against the Titans he was sacked 9 times. Why risk a turnover against a blitzing defense with the corners sitting tight on the receivers to stop the short pass and quick sideline routes?
FIsher’s decision to play for overtime was the correct one. It’s more the SYSTEM that’s flawed. Making the coin flip so important (whomever wins usually wins the game over 60% of the time since ’94), is really a shame.
Give both teams a shot, like in college, except maybe move the ball back another 10 yards or so for each offense.

Besides…
you say “put Pittsburgh in that position and they would try to make sure the game isn’t decided on a coin flip.”
Well, regardless what they would WANT or try to do….The reality of the situation last night WAS that Pittsburgh put themselves in the position where the game was pretty much decided on a coin flip.

The loss aside…
Browns fan here, so I’m pretty impartial…Hate the ravens anyways, not the steelers as much (thats just a general dislike).
…and as far as I can see this team shouldn’t be too worried about this season based on one game. The defense overall played extremely well…I, like alot of others, question the defensive calls made in that overtime period more than anything….and, of course, the kicking game…however that most likely is a one game fluke and not a trend. DL showed they can do just fine without Haynesworth, receivers look young and talented, Johnson looks to continue to improve at RB. OL was very solid, if unspectacular.
Titans showed they are right there with arguably the best team in the NFL, and they’ll be seeing them again I’m sure.

The only thing stupid about the pump fake that reulted in a touchdown is the reporter being STUPID enought to recognize s great play when he sees one. How ’bout the stupid pump fake on the last completion in the Bowl last season? Take a urine test! You are on dope!!
what's sad....
is that 90% of the posts on this blog are in direct response to my smack talk. there are no serious discussions about why/how you guys lost, just empty and dumb insults hurled across the bow. it’s just sad. no recievers…. no QB… and now? no wins. last post…. im headed back to “greener” pastures where the sun shines everyday, our stadium is the best in the league, and you guys are still at the bottom of the division. but no worries… jacksonville will be joining you all soon enought. see you baby eaters next week!

nobody is asking you to keep posting
and in case you haven’t noticed there are other posts being commented on where we’re discussing what happened last night, not schooling you.
Maybe it’s all that smog getting to your brain.

You are the one that came over here and started that crap
people haven’t been able to talk about the game because of all the ridiculous crap you have been throwing out there. This site doesn’t usually get to this level, but it only takes one idiot to come in and start throwing out crap to make it take off.

I'm not a big fan of knee-jerk banning
But perhaps this would be a good time with the ban button.
Also, easy on Texas, people. You don’t want me joining the fray, now do you :).

I'll preface my comment by saying I severely dislike the Titans.
I do not however, severely dislike the Texans. Reason: Texans are perennial bottom feaders, they beat my favorite team what? Once in 16 attempts. At least the Titans are a legit threat/team/contender.
For the aforementioned reasons, and I generally feal no more proof need-be-given; you, chrisd71 seem… you know, somewhat ignorant or just kinda dumb. Your posts have not really provided any sort of rational, cognizant thought pattern. My guess. Titans spank the Texans twice this year. I totally hope I am wrong, but I doubt it.
You coming here and talking shit to these people in their house on the basis that the Texans are gonna kick their ass next week when your team has never finished better that 8-8 is laughable. (Didn’t the Texans also start 0-4 the last two years?)
And your apparent envy of the Titans un-enviable position of being a team that has been to one Super Bowl and lost is just plain sad. (Especially the way they loss, all I can remember is Kevin Dyson reeeaaaching for the goal line. What a painful memory for Titan’s fans to have.)
Regarding the original topic. Credit where credit is due, parts of the Titan’s game last night looked very good. 3rd facet of the game, prevent D, gassed D-line in the 4th and OT, Michael Griffin not throwing, a block did not look so great. (stating the obvious; I know. Sorry for bringing it up 24 hrs. later, I’m sure it was painful to watch)
Anyway, chrisd21, maybe you’ll come back later and read this and realize how retarded your arguments/rationalizations/insults or whatever, really sound.

hahahaha!
thanx all for helping my day go faster here at work…. which unlike in tennesse, does not involve milking goats or writing country songs. now, to answer back a couple of points.
1. previous to Bud requesting a new stadium, he wanted to upgrade the astrodome. houston taxpayers shelled out a pretty penny, under the threat of him leaving for jacksonville, LA, or San Antonio. so we gave in, gave him the upgrades. team never got better, and now he wants a new stadium? uhhhhhhh no. we weren’t having it. in case you guys didnt know, your owner is the biggest A-hole in the league.
2. while it’s true that Shaubby is gimpy (we call him ben taub shaub) the fact that he’s a great leader, and a good to decent quarterback does not change. if we can keep him upright this season we will be fine. besides the fact that he only got so damn gimpy thanks to those jared allen cheap shots.
3. as long as you guys have bud as an owner, you are all his hoez. by “hoez” i mean that he can ask for whatever he wants, since you guys have only one pro team. and lawd knows you dont wanna lose the only pro team in the state right?
4. until you guys host a superbowl… or a BCS game… or an all star game…. dont say a word. becuz regardless of what you guys think… everyone knows you got our “sloppy seconds…” while we went and got a brand new broad. (and not one that’s related to us, either.)
"If you're an asshole, you're gonna come back as a cockroach or a worm or a fuckin' anal bead, okay? If you're a man and you act heroic, you'll come back as an eagle. You'll come back as a dragon."
i can tell....
by all the angry responses and retarded backhand insults that i stirred up the proverbial bees hive…. didnt know you TIT fans were so salty after a loss! lmfao!

Why do you call us the TITS?
Don’t guys like tits? Or most of us do if you just want to take my word for it.

oh I get it, you're jealous.
I mean, your ‘brand new broad’ has been a loser since day one. pull-off a winning season, then get back to us.

You know what, I'll back off and quit responding.
I had forgotten that before week 1 is the only time you guys get to have fun and talk trash like you’re a threat to win the division.
So yeah, have fun with that. I’ll be looking forward to your thoughts on the draft in December.

No doubt.
A Texans !? fan talking SMACK?! That’s like bragging bout being the smartest guy with Down’s Syndrome…

Dude, my favorite team is the Browns and even OUR suck-ass expansion team has a better record than yours since ’02…
Texans 40-72 < Browns 42-70

in all fairness....
the browns did not become an expansion in 2002 so that is not really a legit stat. and for a team thats as est. as the browns are, i would not be throwing that figure around too much.

especially....
when it’s only 2 more wins.

Sorry to take thread off topic
True…I see your point about 2002 so looking at total win percentage then the Texans are around 55% while the browns are at about 48%.
I would consider the browns to be expansion and certainly this team is not established, just in name and logo…and the texans had a much easier expansion draft.
“The quality on the expansion list for Cleveland was far inferior to the quality of the players on Houston’s expansion list. The players available to the Texans are better, and certainly closer to their prime, than were those available to Cleveland.” —Peter King cnnsi.com
Also, don’t forget that the Browns ownership group was named at the last possible second wheras the Texans had their coaching staff over a year ahead of time. That doesn’t excuse the poor drafting the browns have subsequently done, but it does matter.
Anyways, I apologize. Back to titans/steelers.
