Titans vs. Colts: The Top Five Defensive Plays

by Jimmy on Dec 22, 2011 10:30 PM CST

So we have a deal with Gillette that says we will run a post every week that looks at the top 5 defensive plays from the game the previous week. It is very tough to find one defensive play worht talking about in a game where your team gives up 27 points to a team that has lost 13 straight games, much less five.

Click through the jump to see the 5 plays I selected.

5. Dan Orlovsky takes a knee.

4. Dan Orlovsky takes a knee.

3. Dan Orlovsky takes a knee.

2. Jurrell Casey tackles Donald Brown for a 4 yard loss.

That's right. There are only two plays in this entire game where someone on the Titans actually made a play- against a team that came in winless in 13 games.

1. Akeem Ayers forces a fumble that Chris Hope recovers.

This was the only turnover the defense forced in the game. It did set up a 21-yard field goal from Rob Bironas.

Too bad mother f**king Griffin decided to give Orlovsky a kiss

Instead of sidestepping him and getting to brown.

Locker has a receiver either side;
Locker fumbles the snap;
Picks it up, sprints out to the right;
Looking;
Fires deep downfield
MAN IS WIDE OPEN!!
TOUCHDOWWWWWN TITANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does a punt count as a defense play?If so then yeah.

All those Hasselbeck short passes should count as defense! That sure wasn´t offense!

they were pretty offensive

I know it was a dissapointing game but...

the D allowed 20 points. Seven of which came late in the game when we were playing very aggressively because we had to get the ball back because the offense was horrible. The 80 yard run would not have happened earlier in the game or in a situation where the defense wasn’t being expected to make up for how bad the offense was. The defense could have done better but they should not be blamed for this is much as they have been. Get real.
