2010 Tennessee Titans Film Review: Week 2 vs. Pittsburgh 2nd Half

by Jimmy on Jul 18, 2011 6:00 PM CDT in Tennessee Titans News

Early in the second half of this game Tony Brown shot the gap and made a really nice play to stop Rashard Mendenhall for a 3 yard loss. It is a shame that TB can't seem to get that knee right because he is a heck of player when healthy.

I knew the offensive lineman weren't going to do anything on the play where Vince Young was slammed on his head, but I still couldn't believe it watching again. Jake Scott makes a small gesture to the ref, but everyone else just turns and walks away.

The one thing that you really notice about Vince watching these games is how careless he is with the football. That is one of many things that is going be the problem of another fanbase as soon as this lockout is over.

Another thing that really stood out in this game was how ridiculous Cortland Finnegan was early in the season. He was in a tiff every time you turned around. He cut that crap out later in the year but didn't play as well. Here's to hoping 2011 will see 2009 form without the extracurricular crap.

Kerry Collins comes in to start the 4th quarter. He did move the ball a little bit but was facing a much softer Pittsburgh defense because of their 16-3 lead. Eugene Amano had a nice ground ball shotgun snap at one point. That was awesome.

The defense held again after another Titans turnover- this time on a Collins fumble. Again, the Titans would have lost this game by 50 if they weren't facing Dennis Dixon and Charlie Batch.

A couple of bullet points:

It sure would have been nice to see Jared Cook in this game before the 2 minute drill
It sure would be nice to see Kenny Britt not be virtually invisible in a game like this
The Titans were able to make in interesting with a late score and onside kick recovery
Terrible decision by Collins to check down to CJ in the middle of the field with 13 seconds left and no timeouts

That was an ugly football game.

Terrible

We are just not an elite team and haven’t been since early 2000’s. I know the whole 13-3 three season, but really we still were not elite. Elite teams don’t lose playoff games 13-10 after scoring a touchdown in the first five minutes of a gm. Here’s to hoping we get back on track in the next three years. Sure would be a shame to waste a talent like CJ during his prime.

P.S still can’t believe Harrison only got fined 5k for that hit, and I understand the line’s reaction. They knew Vince blew the playcall so they were like well you fucked up it’s your fault not ours DUMBASS
P.P.S God last year was terrible

I'm starting to think you should review some other season. Last year sucked.

Perhaps ’99?

"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!"
