PrintThat was the worst preseason game ever.
Quick thoughts:
- Extremely encouraging to see Derrick Morgan out there and getting after the quarterback. Cory Curtis said Morgan has only participated in six drills in camp. He also called Jared Cook "Cookie.:
- Tough night for Damian Williams. Let a punt go that went for about 80 and fumbled another one. I thought he had the return job locked up, but now I am not so sure. Marc Mariani looked good again tonight as a returner and a receiver.
- Kenny Britt has to get his feet down on that pass on the sideline. He did make a nice stiff arm later in the game to pick up the first down.
- Jason Jones is a stud.
- Michael Roos has a strained knee. We better hope and pray that he will be ready to go when the season starts because A-Dub's boy Troy Kropog isn't the answer.
- I am no longer sure that Rusty Smith wouldn't pass through waivers, but he does have a cannon.
- Jason McCourty had a good night. He especially looked good coming up against the run. Alterraun Verner played well minus the one play early where he was beaten over the top. Luckily Matt Moore missed the receiver.
- Samkon Gado was in there before LeGarrette Blount again, but Blount looked much better running the ball. I am now convinced that the third running back is either Blount or someone else
on the rosternot on the roster.
It is not really surprising to see this effort coming off a short week and at the end of camp. The best news of all is that there is only one more of these before the games actually matter.
Great effort in the open game thread tonight!

"What if I was Peyton Manning?"- CJ to the ref after they picked up a personal foul flag for a late hit on him.
Marc Mariani earned himself a roster spot this game.
Unfortunately I think it will we at the expense of Dominique Edison. He looks like a completely different player than last preseason.
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...

I’m assuming that’s the closest we’ll get to a roll call. lol.

Now that the movie's over...
And after reading through the open threads…
I present to you, Dinger’s themesong for the day…
“I was gonna write up a good game plan, but then I got high,
I was gonna watch film and make it grand, but then I got high,
This game is full of punts, and I know whyyyyyy, yeah yeah,
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high….”

We should be worried
I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they would be better prepared for the blitzes in the regular season, but the offense simply must be better! The D played great, but the Titans Play at least 5 top 10 QB’s this year (Manning, Manning, Romo, Schaub, Mcnabb, Kalb), so even if our D is as good as they look, we are going to need to put some points on the board!
Most teams won’t play their starters at all in the final preseason game, so this is probably the last look we get at the first team in a competitive situation before its real. We should be worried!
Nah.
I said the same thing on this board about CJ last year in the preseason when he was averaging 3 yards per carry. The preseason is about a lot of things that have nothing to do with predicting a team’s future success.
I always go first half - coffee, second half - beer, because In LA, the games start at 10:00 a.m.
First Titans game I've been able to see live in 4 years...
and probably the most boring football game I’ve watched in 4 years period. I wasn’t expecting much out of CJ because its preseason, but damn. The O-line was horrible which is a huge shock(unless the panthers D-line is just that good)! I hope Roos ends up being alright because when I saw him go down that was scary! On a positive note the defense looked good, ATV and McCourtney had pretty solid games(except for the one ATV got caught looking at play action and got beat), Jason Jones was a force and Derrick Morgan was very close to getting a sack on his very first play in the game so thats always a good sign! Hopefully they will be playing better the next time I get to watch them live in Miami week 10!!!
Go look at CJ's numbers from last preseason
25 carries for 77 yards. There is nothing to worry about.

Remember How the Titans Started?
CJ and the TItans finished strong, but last year’s horrible preseason led to an 0-6 start. I wouldn’ t be biting my fingernails but this is certainly something to be concerned with.
I'm not worried about them...
all I’m saying is I was disappointed about the game last night, just because I havent been able to go to a titans game since they played in Miami VY’s rookie year and he didnt even play that game lol. Im very aware that this is preseason and they are barely scratching the surface of the playbook. On top of that they don’t game plan for preseason. I was just hoping that I could have witnessed another Monday night like performance from the whole team. It was still good to see them playing live for a change instead of on TV!

Problem with Rusty Smith...
He thinks he is much better than he actually is
Typical college rookie.
Don’t worry, assuming he starts maturing out of it.

Looks like I picked the right game to miss!!
I couldn’t find a way to watch the game last night, so I didn’t join the game threads. Plus, I wanted to give fanoftheunderdogs the night off from having to post play-by-play commentary for me.
I’ll be back next week, and maybe the Titans will, too.
Had my fantasy draft last night
so I missed the game(not that it woulda been on here anyways). Sounds like I didnt miss much….
Sloppy is the only word to define this game.
I am talking about offense.
When did Michael Roos hurt his knee? Because he got owned the entire game vs E.Brown.
Defense looked nice in my opinion. Jason Jones and Derrick Morgan two thumbs up.
Very Insightful, Jimmy.
I am now convinced that the third running back is either Blount or someone else on the roster.
That’s deep, Jimmy.
My bad
That is supposed to say someone else NOT on the roster.
