Damian Williams Is Becoming a Legitimate Threat for the Titans

PrintWe have given Damian Williams a rough time here. We were all excited about his potential before the season started, but he looked really inconsistent at the end of camp and early in the season. He has had his problems in the last few weeks, but he really does look like he is starting to put it together.
Mike Munchak was asked about D-Will after the game yesterday:
He’s just getting better every week. I think you’re seeing that and that’s what we try to tell him. This league is that way. It’s his first year starting and he’s been making some great plays. He’s been making some great catches. Last week’s catch in the end zone was an awesome catch. He’s got confidence. You can see it growing and it makes him get that first play. We’re on the sidelines going, ‘did he get the first down’, and he found a way to make them miss and score a touchdown, not only get the first down. You’re seeing a guy grow up and learn how to play in this league. You’re seeing a guy gain his confidence weekly. Matt (Hasselbeck) has confidence in him. We knew that all along so he’s turned into a really nice weapon for us.
The key there is the confidence. He looked like he was playing lost earlier in the season, but that is not the case now.
Matt Hasselbeck also had good things to say about Williams after the game:
He’s making plays. This week, with the injuries we’ve had, the amount of guys that weren’t able to practice, and people’s statuses were up in the air, he got more opportunities, got more reps and was called upon a little bit more. He handled it well. I thought he had a great week of practice. There are always things, even with a veteran receiver, there are always things that you’d like to see. I think with a young receiver, I think the thing for him is that the more he gets to play, the more comfortable he’ll get, and the more experience that he will get. He’s scoring touchdowns right now which is really nice.Hopefully he can continue to improve and be a legitimate threat opposite Kenny Britt next season.

“Matt Schaub has a significant foot injury that is being evaluated currently….will see specialists…will miss some time”
Just got a text about that, Matt Leinart has already been named the starter for Nov. 27th game in Jacksonville.

Here is our chance.
We have it tough, but given our great record against the NFC lately, I have faith.
Oh, you ALWAYS know that's coming.

HOU isn't done by a longshot though
I think that this just gives us a chance (if we take care of our own business) to have it come down to wk 17, which is all I want, because then anything can happen

That loss to Cincy is going to hurt our wild card chances so we have to win the division.
and even then, a tie in record with houston would still keep us out since our division record is worse. unless they lose to jacksonville or indy.
yeah
we have to beat ATL this week. If we do that, I could seriously envision being 10-5 going into wk 17. 2 games I could see HOU losing are vs ATL and CIN. If they do, we’re both 10-5, going into wk 17, and we’ve never been swept by HOU
Titans will look back at this season as an opportunity lost
Everything seems to be breaking Titans way. But they couldn’t utilize on it.
It's a good thing David Garrard doesn't still play for the Jaguars
because he’d probably get hit by a car this week or something. #thefootballgodsaresmilinguponthetitans
And
yes, he is. We do not face many teams that are good vs. the pass, so I am interested in how much he progresses for these last 7 wks
Via ESPN
Matt Shaub is out for several weeks with a foot injury.
"Munchak was just asked why we went for it instead of kicking the field goal: ’ I don’t want to be the same 3 point team we used to be.’"....WE WIN
Yeah, Cassel and Vick are out, too.
What’s up with all these QBs biting the dust?

Yep, things really look like they're coming together for the Titans.
Their offense(CJ & D.WILL!!!)…their defense(McCARTHY!!!)….special teams (MARIANI!!!!)…We’ve got to focus on Ryan & the Falcons now….cuz you KNOW they’re going to be pissed about how they lost to the Saints yesterday.

After reading some more, it is looking like Shaub could be done for the season...
Not good news for the Texans, and I don’t wish injury on anyone (Except any Ravens players, coaches, cheerleaders, etc.) But good new for us Titans fans!
He's out for the year
“Filed to ESPN: Texans quarterback Matt Schaub is out for the season with a lis franc injury. Matt Leinart from here on in.”

Poking around the Texans board...
Here is a quote form one of those guys over there…
So take your shoes off—pants are always optional ‘round these parts—and hop on Papa bfd’s lap and tell me all about you.
I don’t think I would use the word “sucks” around them… they might take it the wrong way!!
Schaub is out for the season!! Per Shefter

There is still a lot of football to play.
Hopefully, the Titans can take advantage.
Like I said earlier this year, keep the faith on DWill
it normally takes WRs 3 years to put it together. Roddy White did and now he’s a superstar.

A running back cannot carry a team alone
See:
Jacksonville Jaguars
Minnesota Vikings
’10 Tennessee Titans
’10 Carolina Panthers
Denver Broncos
Miami Dolphins
ect.
A good team needs a balance on offense, good-great QB play, and a good defense in order to win games consistently in the NFL. This is a bigger blow to the Texans than you may think. Andre can’t catch the ball if it’s not thrown anywhere in the vicinity of him.

It is very possible that Arian Foster carries the Texans to the playoffs
Leinart just needs to not make mistakes. Look at Alex Smith and SF. It is very possible.

The football gods are working in the Titans favor as of late.

2. Jaguars release Garrard, leaving them with Luke McClown and ‘Happy Feet’ Gabbert.
3. Texans lose Matt Shaub for the year.

Like I said before: God works in mysterious ways…
This division is still far from won, just because Houston is out 2/3 of their offense does not mean we will win the division. Munchack better make that clear to everyone in the locker room tomorrow. This game coming up is not a must-win game, it’s a statement game. We have to show the league that the Titans are legit. We need to command the attention of the league and show everyone that we mean business, and beating the Falcons, the Saints, and the Bucs will do just that!
