Tennessee Titans Daily Links: CJ, Sick Two Ways Edition

Chris Johnson had another great game on Sunday, and it's even more impressive considering that he was sick all week. He was still a little sick, and the related fatigue is probably why we saw him ask out of the game more times than usual. After a horrid start to the season, CJ has now eclipsed 130 yards in three of the last four week. I don't care if they have been against bad run defenses, that's still a huge improvement from where he started. Now we just need to see if he can do that against stouter defenses.
The ESPN NFL playoff standings page has a pretty good breakdown of where everyone is in the wild card standings. Right now we're one spot out of the Wild Card due to losing tiebreaker with the Bengals because they're one game better in AFC win percentage. Overall the Titans are in a four-way tie with the Bengals, Raiders and Jets.
Nate Washington's ankle injury is the story to watch this week. It was pretty clear to me that he went down due to the pain after that first down catch, which isn't a good sign. If he's hurt, then this passing game is in serious, serious trouble... especially since Hasselbeck seems to have zero interest in feeding the Cookie monster like he should.
Jason McCourty was knocked out of the game with a concussion after he collided with Akeem Ayers. There's no word yet on how severe it was, or if he will be ready to go on Sunday when Drew Brees and crew come to town.
Colin McCarthy was very Colin McCarthy-esque on Sunday. He totaled 1 forced fumble, 2 fumble recoveries, 9 solo tackles and a pass defensed.
Chris Hope saw a big increase in playing time on Sunday.
One of the worrisome parts coming out of yesterdays win was our struggles on third down. We went 2 of 11 overall, though both teams finished with 18 first downs.
The defensive line did a great job playing the passing lanes and batting down passes at the line.
Paul K wraps-up the win.
I'm still not sold on the likelihood of long-term success, but I'll admit at this point that Tebow is already better than I ever thought he could be in this league. Also, the Titans sneak back in to PK's Fine Fifteen.
If you aren't reading Audibles at the Line each Monday, you're missing some of the best tidbits of analysis of the games you probably only see through highlights.
SITE NOTE: Over the last few weeks, we have noticed an obscene amount of hate directed toward a certain player (Barrett Ruud). It is management's opinion that Ruud has not done anything to us as fans or our team (i.e. curse the locker room and quit or hold out of training camp and not get into shape until week 10) to deserve the kind of lashing out that MCMers have directed his way. Maybe I have a higher opinion of our blog and what kind of fans I think we should be, but having a fanpost entitled "Barrett Ruud Sucks" and comments in every post that are nothing more than "F&^% Barrett Ruud" are not going to be acceptable. No, he has not had a good season, but let's focus our energy on celebrating the badassedness that is Colin McCarthy and continuing to keep our conversations above those of Bleacher Report. Thank you for understanding and continuing to make Music City Miracles the best blog on SB Nation! Go Titans! --gramsey712

Talkin' 'bout on the field not off of it
I don’t give a crap what Lewis does/did before any game or after any game. It’s what he does and has done on the field during the game that McCarthy is trying to emulate. McCarthy went to college at Miami,Fla. Just like Lewis did. Now this year he picked Lewis’ #52, I think that might say it all right there. Let’s put this ‘second coming of Erlacher’ shit to bed right now, cause it’s Lewis’ play ON THE FIELD that CM is trying to go for and that’s ok by me.

Well, then...
Let’s ask McCarthy why he picked #52, and if he picked it because he likes the way Ray Lewis plays on the field, and not what he does off the field, then it doesn’t matter what we think. I don’t care for Lewis’ antics off the field either, but I’m not gonna say I don’t want McCarthy to not have Lewis’ hard hitting style and work ethic on the field.

I actually can’t wait untill they play a quality team like the Pats. And you’re right, that is a tune we’re all too familiar with unfortunately.
The Force is with you, young SkyLocker, but you are not a Jedi... yet!
I'm not really worried about him playing a quality team
to me, he is still a rookie. He is going to have game he just can’t get going/too far behind to come back/ nothing going right.
He has played a few quality defenses, but I think his real test will be next year. When teams are figuring out how to play him better and he will have an off-season with starter reps. I am really interested to see how Fox approaches this in the off-season.
August and I talked about it last week, is Fox going to keep this offense really basic and put Tebow in plays where he can use his strengths? or is he going to try to turn him into the QB that he is not?

They weren't letting them play to their strengths for the reasons they were drafted
they wanted to protect their QB to ensure their NFL life-line would be a long one, I think Elway doesn’t give a shit about Tebow and would love any excuse to not have him as the starter, injury is the easiest way to get there.

We are doing the right thing with Locker
not throwing him to the wolves and while we praise him for doing what he does best, the coaches try to turn him into something he’s not.
Instead we are ironing out his bad habits, let him learn behind a very good mentor, and have time to help him become a complete QB. Plus, Locker is smart enough to get better so he doesn’t have to rely completely on his athletic ability

Re: McCarthy.
I recall when Tulloch wasn’t resigned and Ruud (shudder) was brought in there was talk of a MLB not necessarily needing to be a “playmaker”, but just be stout in run defense since it is their primary function. I would argue that we’ve already seen the benefit of a “playmaker” MLB. Yes, McCarthy has been out of position in the run and pass but he’s made up for it with some big hits, constantly being around the ball, and these big plays that have changed momentum for us.
Just an observation.

"Hasselbeck seems to have zero interest in feeding the Cookie monster like he should."
I think if “The Cookie Monster” was getting open more consistently he would get him the football. Hass throws where his progressions take him… Cook needs to step his game up…
I'm not saying Cookie is Anotnio Gates
but there’s no reason at all for Hawk to get more targets, especially when we see Cook running wide open to/in the end zone a few times in one game. Cook hast he kind of talent that demands more targets each week.
Music City Miracles blogger and High Secretary of Funk. Follow me @AugustWest_MCM.
Post-game they were saying Hass has high expectations on route running.
So if you’re not there when he expects you to be, he won’t throw it your way. Methinks Cook is in his doghouse for running the wrong routes one too many times. May be stubbornness on his part, but that may be a factor.

I get that
but Hawk still struggles to line-up in the right spot, yet he gets thrown at. Hass has to get past it, because we don’t have the luxury to just ignore playmakers… especially when we’re getting enough out of the run game to take some chances.
Music City Miracles blogger and High Secretary of Funk. Follow me @AugustWest_MCM.
I agree.
Another interesting point they raised was that apparently Palmer is not high on TE use as a pass option or threat. He views them more as blockers in the run game or last-gasp options on passing plays. Receivers are the ones to throw to in the passing game according to his mentality.
(I’m paraphrasing that from what I can recall)

If Palmer isn’t high on TE use as a pass option or threat, why did Palmer brag about him in the offseason and suggest he would be a focal point of the offense?

RE: Hass with high expectations
that’s awesome. reinforcing the importance of practice and effort is HUGE and will lead to a better team in the long run.
Hass was such a great pickup for this team. I could even go for him starting next season.

I'm not sure if this is updated from the latest set of games, but TeamRankings has Cook as the 3rd most targeted receiver (20 Targets) over the past 4 weeks, but only the 4th highest (8 Targets) over the past 2 weeks
What’s interesting is the results of the targets:
From the last two weeks:
Name/Targets/Receptions
Washington/12/5
Williams/11/7
Hawkins/11/7
Cook/8/3
As with any quarterback, you stop delivering the ball to the guys that aren’t keeping up their end of the bargain. It would appear that’s what is happening with Cook.

Look at what Washington has done for those catches though (yesterday)
and he makes those catches when we need them most.
Plus, he is clearly our #1 receiver out there… so he’s getting the main coverage.

Well, Washington has 12.6 yards per catch and 4 TDs on about double the targets this season
While Cook has 15.1 yards per catch and 2 TDs.
They really haven’t played that differently…it’s just Washington has had more targets so his play is remembered more (you remember a guy who gets 3 catches more than a guy who gets 1-2 catches).
I don’t know if this is by design or what exactly, but I would target Cook more.
by shawneriksmith on Dec 5, 2011 11:38 AM CST up reply actions
Probably is, we know Washington is capable/ready for #1 receiver targets
but he is playing significantly better then years prior. I think his production would be quite a bit better with Britt out there taking some of the pressure off of him.
Cook is suppose to be out there setting up match-up problems using his physical ability to out muscle/run/etc… whoever is covering him. Clearly that is not working for him.
Either way, we need whoever is being thrown the ball to get better at catching in general, so many drops…

YPC and TDs are not great measures of success.
For instance, Cook’s YPC is easily influenced by a few catches.
I’m not really sure what the point is here though. Washington has easily been our most consistent receiver both in route running and production. Cook has had a handful of great plays all season combined with being nonexistent the rest of the way.

Well, both Washington and Cook have about the same number of catches of 20+ yards
Cook has 6 catches and Washington has 7 catches of 20+ yards. Cook has made plays…can he be more consistent? Sure, but so can nearly all of the WRs on this team not named Britt…he deserves some more targets. Maybe that means simplifying things some or forcing the ball some, but he needs to be targeted more.
by shawneriksmith on Dec 5, 2011 11:49 AM CST up reply actions
I would argue that if he wants more targets, run better routes.
You have to develop that trust with your QB, and he doesn’t have it.

I didn't realize you have footage of all the routes WRs run
Everyone is assuming Cook is just running the wrong routes and all of the other WRs are running the right routes…how do we know this?
Cook is too much of a physical presence to not throw the ball to him…especially in the red zone. We have not seen one fade pattern to him at all in the red zone…6’5’’ and 40+ inch vertical with huge hands…that’s sad.

That Cook is not the first or second read on most pass plays
Hass gets the ball out quick and hits his first read, which is typically Washington or Williams (or Hawk when lined up in D Will or Nate’s spot).
I’m not saying to throw to Cook on every play, but he should get more targets, especially with Nate possibly being out. Cook has more talent than Lavelle Hawkins.

Yeah.
I was a little surprised by the data. Neither really give me the warm fuzzies as it relates to being relied on consistently.
That said, Cook clearly presents matchup problems for opponents just with his physical skillset. I don’t see any reason to over complicate it with option routes, etc. Hell, if guys who aren’t familiar with football (Jimmy Graham/Antonio Gates) can be effective within their first two years, I’d expect Cook could as well.
Keep the routes simple (hitch, dig, stick, flag, seam), and outline them individually to him before each play (ie, don’t make him process the playcalls). We need production out of him more than ever. If we have to totally dumb things down to make that happen, then so be it….
True
Especially in the red zone…he never gets targeted in the red zone which is just sad.

I think what MAY be happening is...
Hawk is practicing really well.. Hass and Palmer both said that Hawk has looked great in practice and that there are some routes that he runs really well so perhaps they are installing plays that allow Hawk to do what he’s good at and he’s getting open on Sundays… As for Cookie, maybe he isn’t practicing well, perhaps he’s having mental lapses and dropping passes and Palmer and Hass just don’t trust him… Either that or he just isn’t executing on gameday, maybe both…
Does it count as a target if the throw is off?

I just think we may be being a bit harsh on him, because its not like any QB is 100% accurate.
So if Cook still gets a target for an overthrown or underthrown ball, it is misleading.

Yeah, but you'd expect that inaccuracy to also apply to all the other receivers.
Sample size is relatively low, so it’s certainly possible that Hasselbeck has been less accurate to Cook over the past few games.
I could see this being part of the problem

It is hard to know what kind of target
But looking at FO’s DVOA stats, which look at a per-play performance, Cook is +9.9% DVOA, while Nate is +14.3%, D Will is -11.6%, and Hawkins is – 25.5%.
All I have been saying is that Cook is not really playing any worse than any of the other WRs that we currently have on the team.
I would just like to see Cook targeted more, especially when in the red zone. He is just too much of a mismatch.
by shawneriksmith on Dec 5, 2011 12:21 PM CST up reply actions
+100000 on the red zone targets
That said, we are the best in the league in the red zone, so it’s hard to nitpick too much.

don´t know if it´s just a coincidence.
But in Seattle, no TE had a great statistical season playing with Hasselbeck.
If it´s the quality of the TE´s or the QB, I just don´t know.

Probably is the key word.
I mean, I get the logic with Alabama playing in the game. I just don’t agree with it.

8 wins against top 25 by an average of ~20 ppg
i’d have to look, but i’d almost guarantee that’s the best resume on paper in the history of college football. and Bama tied them for 60 minutes.

The Dual Threat, Official Enforcer/Stat Geek of MCM.
That's in reference to LSU "beating anyone else by 30pts".
I’m just not sold on the media assumption that Alabama is the only possible team in the country that could contest LSU. I’d prefer to see the OSU matchup if only for the fact that it’s different.
Alabama had their shot, at home, and blew it. Again, I understand the logic, but as a fan I want to see a different matchup.
and i have a real problem feeling bad
for a team that lost to a .500 team in November. national champions don’t do that.
Pearl for Life.
The Dual Threat, Official Enforcer/Stat Geek of MCM.
Given the circumstances, it's understandable
The tragedy happened on the day of the game. The game was already on a weirdly scheduled Friday night on the road. If this game was at home, you know it would have been postponed. It’s just a tough situation to play in for OSU and it shouldn’t be what ultimately writes them out of getting a chance at the title. Instead, we get a team that had a chance at home and blew it, as SuperHorn said above
"I wear tinted visor not to trick other players, but so hot girls in stands don't see me looking at them" - Alex Ovechkin
not to be too insensitive
but tragedy happens, and a couple of people who none of them probably knew but just so happened to work for a different team at their school…well, that’s a massive stretch.
and what did bama blow? they went toe to toe for 60 minutes with the clear #1. they pretty much nuked everyone else on the schedule. if OK St. had taken care of a team they were favored by multiple TDs against, there would be no griping.
Pearl for Life.
The Dual Threat, Official Enforcer/Stat Geek of MCM.
RE
Maybe “blew it” is a little harsh. They went toe to toe with them throughout, no doubt.
As far as the OSU situation, whether or not they knew the coaches or were close with the coaches doesn’t downplay the tragedy at the school. No doubt it was on their mind that night.

I'm not using that as my main argument
I just think it justifies the loss a little more.
I still don’t see how it should be a rematch in the championship game. If the BCS is supposed to make “Every Game Count” then how can they justify a rematch? If they’re gonna have a rematch, they should have a playoff and let the rematch play out then.

Man, that would be awesome.
And, to butt into the argument, there’s obviously no comparison that Bama has the better “quality of loss”. The argument for OSU lies in the comparison of their wins against top 25 BCS teams.
i just don't get why they can't do what bball does
and have a small selection committee. the big lead has a round up of all the terrible Harris Poll ballots, and coaches have nowhere near enough time to be good judges, so….pick 25-50 highly qualified people, pay them to watch games together, and have them be the human element of the BCS along with the computers.
and do a +1 game.

The system is totally broken, and fairly corrupt as well.
The whole “every game matters” meme is bullshit, too. That’s what the supporters love to feed the masses. Yet, if LSU loses on January, their win, on the road, at night, in Tuscaloosa is now meaningless.
I don't want the government to waste time and money...

I was really rooting for the following scenario:
Georgia upsets LSU in the SEC Championship game.
LSU stays #1. Bama stays #2. They play each other in the national championship, nether of them having won their conference championship. Georgia plays as a 3rd SEC team in a BCS bowl. Alabama beats LSU for the championship, so we have a 1 loss champion who didn’t even win their DIVISION, and got beat earlier in the year by the #2 team.
That’s the SEC trolling the BCS.

I've noticed an issue with Ringer that is probably holding him back.
On some of his runs, he likes to shy away from contact as run east-west all of a sudden, where if he had continued going north-south he could have tackled at least an extra 3-4 yards onto his run.
Based on that, I don’t think Ringer has the mindset to be a power runner. Since the coaches never tried teaching him to have that mindset, I’m guessing there’s a reason behind that.

imo CJ is one of the Greatest of All Time
Soooo, comparison is warranted. Although a little humility goes a long way in a fan’s eyes…
I Bleed Two tone blue...
NO REALLY I LITERALLY BLEED TWO TONE BLUE!!! That operation to dye my blood was the best $100,000 I ever spent
2 weeks of 130+ yards after 5 weeks of suck and now CJ = MJ

I was watching that game
And, I kind of think the kicker missed that FG on purpose just to say F-U to the coach, Garrett…he really was weak on that second kick.
