MCM Play of the Week (Week 3)
It was good to see the Titans bounce back after that horrible loss last week. I can't say enough about this defense. They might have given up a good amount of yardage this week but they were able to step up and force the Giants into turnovers. If you have a brain, you know that the POTW was Michael Griffin downing Brett Kern's punt at the 1 yard line. Unfortunately, that amazing play isn't anywhere to be found on the internets (If you have access to the entire game and know how to get it on the internet, then please let me know and I'll add it in).Hopefully the Titans can get a little win streak going and clobber the Broncos next week. Go Titans!
Videos after the jump...
A. Sen'Derrick Marks intercepts Eli Manning.
There's our ball-hawking DT!!! Our DL got some pressure on Eli and forced him to throw on the run, where he's not terribly accurate. Hakeem Nicks should have caught the ball even though it was thrown behind him, but Cortland Finnegan was there to tip the ball up the Marks.
B. Jason McCourty intercepts Eli Manning.
Again, good pressure by the DL, forcing Eli to do his best impression of Michael Vick and failing horribly. This still probably would have been a TD if it wasn't for Will Witherspoon (what a pick-up he's become) tipping the ball up in the air for McCourty to pick off. Hopefully he won't be out too long, because we have nobody behind ATV.
C. Chris Johnson 1-yard TD run.
We don't need no stinkin' goalline RB! Actually I would so much rather have somebody else in there taking those hard hitting carries away from him. Anyways, as usual, Ahmard Hall does an awesome job getting that last LB.
D. Titans score safety on Giants.
This play wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the awesome special teams play by Michael Griffin. The defense got really close to getting a safety on the first play, but finished it off right here. Giants fans have nothing to complain about on this call, as there could have been 56353 other penalties called in the endzone. ATV needs to learn to get his head around on those throws, because he had good position on that play.
E. Vince Young to Kenny Britt 13-yard TD pass.
Let the man throw! This was probably the best play that could happen for our reeling offense. Our troubled QB was perfect on the drive, capping it off with a perfect pass that was put in a spot that only our young/troubled WR could grab it. Britt also had another great catch on that drive on another perfect ball thrown by VY. These two need to be successful for our team to be successful.
F. Michael Griffin forces fumble.
I think the 2008 Michael Griffin is officially back! Good to see that the only thing that is on his mind during these games is football. Sure, the only reason that this turnover happened was because the rest of our defense missed tackles, but they meant to do that right? And look who fell on that ball: MCM favorite Alterraun Verner! This kid just finds himself in the right place all the time, and that's not an accident. This play pretty much sealed the win for the Titans.
G. Chris Johnson 42-yard run.
C'mon Chris! Only 42 yards?! Well, it had to happen at some point. the key to this play is that everybody got on a man and allowed CJ to cut to edge, where he's the best player in the league.
H. Chris Johnson 8-yard Td run.
Terrell Thomas probably lost all bowel control when he saw our 310 lb Filipino lineman, Eugene Amano, come around the edge with Chris Johnson trailing. Good way to cap off this game.
Don't forget to vote!

hey
do you have any of mariani’s kick and punt returns??
i missed just about all of them, due to me be being busy in that time during the game.
Unfortunately, no.
I definitely wish I had his 45-yard return. It was a pretty play. NFL.com is doing a pretty shoddy job with highlights this year. Last year, it the play was over 20 yards it would be on there.
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...

Any true Titan fan will have goosebumps listening the archived audio.

I did not vote...
because as far as i am concerned the play of the game is not there. Griffin’s special teams play to down the punt at the 1 was an incredible play that no doubt turned this game around.
That was the play of the game.

No question
That play led to 9 points.

The 42-yard run isn't a play of the week..
But notice how CJ2K burns Bulluck for the run, just like I was hoping for.
That’s a bit of irony for you :P

KB was also
the guy who hit CJ in the hole on his 1-yd TD run. It was good to see CJ take that shot, bounce off, and still get in for the score.
I voted for VY TD pass to Britt
I liked how VY put all that crap of his “fragile mind”, mostly overblown by Wyatt and Climer, to rest. The play capped a series of beautiful throws that showed how good this offense can be if the coaching staff is more creative and are wiling to mix the run with the pass.
I'm not a VY fanboy, I'm a VY supporter
I voted that one for the same reasons
That play was very similar to the final play of the Cardinals game last year. When Kenny’s locked in, he’s a great player to have… I love that Vince can just throw a high ball to let him make the play.
Go Titans! Go Magic!

The play by Griffin to down the ball at the 1
was awesome. It really turn the tide in our favor. Also he had 12 tackles and the forced fumble. He’s playing out of his mind. He’s getting back to his 2008 form.

Griffin
played like a beast out there. I am glad to see him come back from whatever funk he had around him last season.
What do we do if somehow Colt McCoy ends up on an NFL team starting against Vince Young?
some dude I dont know, but am friends with on facebook...
…because he is a Titans fan, was at the game. He was in front seat corner endzone where the Titans came out of tunnel. He has a picture of some old woman across the tunnel from him wearing a VY jersey…with VY’s cleats in her hand!!! I dunno what she said to get ’em, but must be nice….
Tony Brown had a rough play on the called safety
Not only did get chopped at the knees, but his head was nearly pulled off by the OL.

I voted for CJ's 42 yd run...
just because I’m a " vote for the most yardage for POTW " kind of guy. But, I agree with you Michael, Griff downing that punt was huge. The TD catch by Britt was huge, too. Hopefully, it put alot of people’s worries about him to rest. OK…I’m ready for the Broncos…I just hope the team is. BTW…the game to catch next week will be the Ratbirds vs. the Rapist….that one will be one to see.
Griffin's forced fumble...
followed by the 15-yd personal foul caused the game to completely unravel for the Giants. You could argue that the safety did, but they were so close to getting back into the game, and Griffin recognized that Bradshaw had been holding the ball loosely, he knocked it out, and a great deal of hope was lost for NY.
I voted for VY to Britt.
Not only because of it’s implications for the game, but for it’s implications for this season. hopefully we’ll see more of that moving forward.
"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. 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. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

has to be the safety
the game was over then
I’m an early bird and a night owl. So I’m wise and I have worms.
BOOM! You've been pharmacisted!
I just can imagine what was going in Bulluck's mind in the 42 yds run
Really knowing how fast is CJ.
I'm not a VY fanboy, I'm a VY supporter
I think it was
“damn, get off me Roos!!” W/O that block by Roos(71), CJ doesnt get outside. KB woulda gotten over there 1st. Great job by Roos to spring CJ.
I also think KB was expecting help on the 1yd TD, by the way hit hit CJ. But c’mon Bulluck, u know u gotta wrap up.
