My apologies for not posting anything in the past several days, but our Christmas is largely spent in a car zooming from one part of the family to another all over the mid-state. It was actually bad enough that I had to DVR the game and review it later, which makes it only the second or third Titans game I've not been able to catch live. At least when I sat down to review this one, I knew it was going to be good news.
Jared Cook absolutely destroyed the Jags' defense on Saturday. That was the break-out performance we've wanted to see for the past three years, and it propped up his numbers on the season enough that Cook looks like a top 10 pass catching TE on paper. The next step for Cook is to be more consistent on a weekly basis. It was amazing to see Cook show Palmer and Hasselbeck what he can really do, and we should see more targets than usual for Cookie in Houston next week.
While it doesn't make up for a season full of pedestrian performances and weak pressure, it was definitely nice to see Derrick Morgan repeatedly make an impact out there. The Titans will certainly look to upgrade the talent at DE, but if Morgan can manage to ounce bounce back fully from that ACL injury the whole defense starts to look completely different.
So after the game, Michael Griffin Tweeted "My Last Game at LP Field. Got to make it a good one.", but when asked about it, Griff says he meant it more like 'last game of the season' rather than 'last time I steal Bud's money in his own house'.
Cortland Finnegan makes PFF's ACF Pro Bowl squad, and the praise is pretty high:
What's remarkable about Finnegan this year is that he's taken slot duty in the Titans' nickel. Normally that's a recipe for completions and yardage and about as tricky a thing to do as there is. He's been great from the get go, bringing the heat in run defense, as well as his coverage, and has also cut out all the stupidity. Maybe Richard Seymour could get some pointers.
Tom Gower gives a one-man recap of the Titans' win for FO's Audibles at the Line.
An unofficial survey of current NFL players shows that, unsurprisingly, tons of them will still try to hide a concussion. Despite all of the education and awareness efforts, along with improved testing procedures and mandatory benching handed down by the league

Jimmy,
B needs to be added to the morgan link write up so it has bounce, currently reading ounce.
Also Griffin’s tweet was before the game, and he wasnt the only one to state that, ATV also said that, but I guess because ATV isnt in a contract year then its not a big deal?

He played a good game, not great.
He threw two picks on two terrible throws. He underthrew Damian Williams on a long pass that could´ve been an easy TD if thrown correctly.
I´m happy we won, but he made many mistakes (i just mentioned 3 of them), and this kind of performance probably wouldn´t lead us to victory if not for the terrible Jaguars on the other side of the field.
I didn´t burn him before, and I don´t give him all that praise now. He played “ok”.

Ugh. 1 INT was bad, the other was a fluke play... So he doesn't get credit for leading a dismal team that previously lost to the worst team in the NFL
only because the Jaguars are bad as well?

He gets credit. He played a good game.
But no, I´m not confident he can lead the team against better competition. The fluke play was a bad play, that ended tipped and intercepted, but a bad pass nonetheless.
Don´t forget the jaguars have dozens of DBs on the IR.

The first pick, where he didn't see Mincey, was bad.
The second bounced off three guys. I don’t put that one on him. He’s playing behind a crap line, with terrible receivers and put up 350 yards.

"He's playing behind a crap line."
They’re crap run blockers, not pass blockers. They are actually pretty good at that.
Otherwise, I agree.

They haven't regressed that much.
They aren’t playing perfect by any stretch of the imagination, and they probably aren’t as awesome as they were for the first few games this season, given. But, the pass blocking is on the list of things that takes unnecesarily harsh criticism on this site, in my opinion (along with Derrick Morgan, for instance).
There is the occasional ugly play with out interior line, but on the whole they have been very good all season. They are the #2 pass blocking line according to FO rankings (where we’re last in run blocking).

I never get to upset
about the ones where the QB clearly did not (or could not, because of a lineman) see a defender. It’s the ones where they can see the seventeen defenders circling around the spot where they want to throw, and they still throw the thing, that really piss me off.

That was on Hasselbeck, but also just a great defensive call.
Hasselbeck totally didn’t see that one coming and Williams or Hands (can’t remember which) was open on the slant underneath, just a great call by the defensive coordinator that got him.

It was a well timed call to be sure.
It wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, though. Just a typical fire zone blitz, best I remember.
Blitz comes, the hot read is the slant, and they’re bailing an end back into the vacated zone. It was perfect because of the slant being ran behind the end.
I imagine Hass saw the glitz and gunned the ball in without another thought, hence the pick. Personally, I’d like to see him recognize the guy dropping back into the zone, especially since he’s throwing right at him, but that’s not an easy read.
I guess what I’m saying is, it was a good defensive play call, but you still have to put it on Hass in the end.

True, but it was just a perfect storm for that play to happen.
If that slant wasn’t Hass’s first read and was suppose to get it out as fast as possible, he would have never thrown over there. It was a good defensive call and a bad offensive call all at the same time.
Yes Hass should have done more, but… oh well.

Hasselbeck had an amazing game, for virtually having no running game and the O-line being a hotmess in the first quarter
Hass really pulled it together to keep us afloat, saw the miss-match with Cook and exploited the F- out of it all day. Really this was an impressive day for Hasselbeck and Chris Palmer.

After watching the game, I wondered what MCM's reaction to Hass playing well would be.
It seems to be a large dose of ignoring it.
After the beating Munch got for sticking with him last week, I’m very glad to see that decision vindicated.

I don't think it vindicates anything
I didn’t notice hass limping around in this game; he looked pretty comfortable – so pretty clearly he was better. Last week, he was clearly not, and should have been pulled out of the game much earlier. A good decision on who to start this week in no way makes the decision against the Colts any less knuckle-headed than he was.
All coaches get some knuckle-head cards to play each season though, and a rookie gets a couple extra.
by numbertenox on Dec 26, 2011 12:29 PM CST up reply actions
That's not the decision I'm talking about.
I’m talking about the decision to start him against the Jags.When I said “sticking with him last week,” I wasn’t talking about last weeks game, but the decisions made last week to stick with him for Saturday.
Munch was destroyed all week for naming Hass the starter against the Jags. There were people who were ready to fire Munch because he wasn’t putting the team in the best position to win, there was no way Hass couple possibly be ready, etc etc etc. Jimmy even said he wasn’t making the “big boy decision,” if I recall correctly.
Hass came out and played a good game and led the team to a victory, so it obviously vindicates his decisions to start him against the Jags.

That makes sense
Never the less, though, there is a big fat “Error” marked on Munch’s card for the decision to keep hass in when he clearly wasn’t happy, during a playoff critical division game. I do not have feel good vibes for Munch because Hass happened to actually be healthy this week instead of “faux-healthy”.
I don’t think anyone is Fisher 2.0, certainly don’t think he should be fired (who thought this year’s Titans would even reach an even mark?), but last week was bone-headed, plain and simple.
Rookie Mistake for a Rookie HC.
His fault for listening to a vet QB telling him he was good enough to play… should have been coaching instead of listening to a player.

I got really excited for one meaningless play during the third quarter. Marks was the DT, lined up in front of the C, but standing up. Before the snap, McCarthy ran to him and said something to change his position. He then moved to his right, now with his hand down and in the gap between the LG and LT.
Then came the snap. Colin blew upfield and made Jones Drew cut to the right, directly into Marks, and he stopped MJD for a 1 yd loss.
I know it´s one play and it meant little, but he identified the play and moved his defense into position to make the stop.
COLIN MCCARTHY!!

A few draft related thoughts this morning...
Reinfeldt is going to have a really hard time figuring out where his draft needs rank. Is Cook going to finally break out, or was this just his usual end of year burst? Is Morgan, when healthy, going to be a solid player for us? If he can count on those two, that basically crosses off TE from the list and probably drops DE down to a middle round concern. I still have my doubts on Cook.
WR: The long road back for Morgan has me concerned with Britt. Washington has been great, Williams at least average, but they should need to go WR once in Rounds 1-3.
OL: Just awful. Probably our top concern this right now, ahead of DE.

Safety?...
I imagine they’re going to grab a FA interior lineman and hopefully use a 2 or 3 for another spot; DE I could absolutely see them going first round. WR I’m not sure, could be interesting. Safety I think depends on Griffin and what they do in FA.

Safety slipped my mind.
For sure a concern.
Its important this last game for Cook, Williams and Morgan to play strong once more. If they feel confident those guys can play better, it probably moves them down the board and safety goes up.

Hopefully.
I still wouldn’t be surprised if they go DE in the first round, and maybe even ignore WR in the early rounds all together. I’d love for them to get someone like Bowe but that’s not our style in free agency.

As much as I want Bowe here, and would even overpay a bit, I can't see us landing him.
We’ll probably be more active this year just because half the roster’s contracts are up, but probably more mid-level signings.

Yep.
I’d like something like the year we got Mawae, Hope and Thornton. Those were three good, not huge-salary guys who all came in and upgraded their units AND provided veteran leadership. We’re still going to be a pretty young team next year so it’d be nice to have some of those guys.

If you could land players like Nick Hardwick (off a down year), Mario Manningham, and maybe a LB or S that would be outstanding.

Hmm...Manningham has been pretty inconsistent.
But I’d take Hardwick, LB and S for sure.

Manningham reminds me of the Washington signing.
Room to grow, questionable hands, could be had for decent money. I’m not a huge fan, but it wouldn’t upset me to bring him in.

As far as FA WRs go,
I wouldn’t mind; D.Bowe, Steve Johnson, Mario Manningham, even Vincent Jackson, depending on the contract. Marques Colston, and Robert Meachem are interesting as well.
Safety; I’d say…
Tyvon Branch from Oakland would not be bad.
Really though, I think we have to re-sign someone on our roster because currently all of our starters and even back-up safeties are going to be free agents. I don’t really see us blowing up both safety positions.

I think we should try and get Plax.
He is a big body and would be huge in the redzone. Think of both Britt and Plax on either side you could go jump ball to either one for TOUCHDOWN TITANS!!!!!

Britt and Plax hanging out in the off-season = Both of our starting #1/#2WR in jail.
no thanks.

Plax has learned his lesson, he did go to jail.
Britt has grown up and knows he can be in big trouble and will listen to how Plax had it in jail.
- Britt
#2/3- Wash he earned it this year.
#3/2- Plax only be a #2 in the redzone. where Wash can run the under routes.
Anybody else like this idea?

After last season, I have no confidence in Britt's judgement. Can you blame me?
I think he’s taking steps in the right direction, but all it takes is the wrong F-up to come along…
I am all for high character people being on this team from now on.

But Plax would be a High Character guy now.
Did his crime and did the time = New look on life and will do anything to make sure he never goes back.

On second thought Manningham is Williams-Lite, plus some drops.
I like Meachem, but I think he’ll be overpaid.

I'd perfer off that list either Stevie Johnson or D.Bowe.
problem is, they would be #2 here and we’d be paying them #1 type contract… so I don’t know how realistic it would be.
