Tennessee Titans Daily Links: Same Old Story Edition

Pau K wraps-up yesterday's loss, and he has probably the biggest stat to take away from the game:
Hard to believe but true: Six of Tennessee's 11 possessions went three-and-out. Meanwhile, four of Jacksonville's 11 series were 11 plays or more.
Akeem Ayers, much like the rest of the defense, struggled early, but began to flash the skills that made him a 2nd round pick by the end of the game. I think we can all forgive Ayers for some rookie mistakes. It was Barrett Ruud's lackluster performance that I'm looking to see improvement on next week. He wasn't horrible per say, but he looked like a depressing Stephen Tulloch clone out there leading the team in tackles on 6-yard gains and not covering the pass especially well.
David Climer wouldn't be as concerned with the issues that plagued the Titans yesterday if they weren't pretty much the exact same issues that sent last year's squad into the dumps. A soft defense and a shaky O-line are the recipe for disaster, but this staff seems much more intent on breaking that mold quickly and decisively.
Check out last night's episode of MCM Radio to hear what Jimmy sounds like after he losses his voice due to yelling at the middle of our offensive line for 3 hours.
Kenny Britt was the source of a lot of drama and snide remarks over the offseason, but his performance Sunday gained him a boat-load of favor. Perhaps the most encouraging thing is that he has started out the season hot, instead of spending a few weeks lost in the mix or trying to get back in shape. Britt looks primed to have a huge year if he can stay healthy and focused.
Griffin had a chance to try and separate Mike Thomas from the ball on that big 26-yard 3rd down conversion that really put us behind the 8 ball late in the game, but instead he tried to make a play on the ball. The result was Thomas making a clean catch and giving the Jags another set of downs.
Does anyone know what Shaun Smith did to earn that unnecessary roughness penalty? I couldn't see anything on the screen, and Smith says he was clueless as to what drew the flag.
The DE spot is a glaring weakness as long as Derrick Morgan and Jason Jones are out, and it's not helping things that William Hayes came out of the Jags game with shoulder pain.
Chris Johnson got to enjoy his status as the highest-paid RB in the NFL for a few short days before Adrian Peterson stole that title. Still, CJ isn't crying over his beer, and he's more than grateful for the Wells Fargo truck the Titans sent over to his bank.
Anyone who saw that Redskins-Giants game last night knows that the Sex Cannon is officially back in business.
Bocephus isn't feeling to good about our boys:
What about the new coach for the Titans [Mike Munchak]?
Oh, please. Let me tell you something, the Tennessee Vols and Tennessee Titans are in bad shape. Bad shape.

Yeah...thank you for pointing out that
Michael Griffin is just part of the problem. In my book, he represents all my frustrations about the Titan franchise. Refuses to hit that hard, and consistantly misses important tackles. No one pays attention to it, because their are 5 flaws equally as big…but seriously this guy is just awful.

at this point I’m happy jake Scott is in the last year of his contract, especially since he’s counting at least $4.7 million against the cap this year. He’s been in decline for the last two years, and yesterday was just an awful performance.

Yep, it all starts in the trenches.
And if you look at the success that Moon and all his speedy little WRs had….it was mainly due to the fact that we had all those “blue chip” O-Linemen. Matthews, Munchack, Steinkuler, etc. I was really surprised/disappointed we did not address this in the draft. Moon had all kinds of time, and with his accuracy…that was a lethal combination.

i know for sure that griff would have been penalized for that hit, with fines and a 15 yard penalty
They would’ve called hitting a defenseless wr because he was still in the air, really think about it, what could you do?
but that whole play started off with Ruud unsure of wether he was supposed to delay blitz or cover and with the mismatch on him between WR and LB he was already 4 steps behind

IMO knock the shit out of the receiver, make them second guess catching over the middle
15 yard penalty, maybe… but you don’t let the dude catch it right infront of you without doing anything. Chop his arms or something… horrible.

Cook's hair tackle at the end of the half deserves honorale mention
plus the loss is all on Bironas for missing the 67 yard field goal
/sarcasm I liked that they tried it and covered it well

I think Smith's penalty was from a late hit.
I re-watched the play and he is going in the direction of a Jags player #14 after the play and hit him in the back right before the screen cut away.

slide the game over here….

We need to show more options
Preseason had us throwing to everyone every where long or short yards, it worked so wtf was the coaches thinking of just pounding CJ and then trying for deep throws

So what you're saying is....
what we saw yesterday was…..FISHERBALL!!!???

Of course CJ isn't going to complain about AP getting a bigger contract

Tyler “Touchdowns” Bray had an 83% completion percentage, 405 yards, and 4 TDs.

Methinks we needed to have not kept all those offensive linemen.
As poorly as they played, the starters really never get injured and it’s not like they rotate guys in and out there. It was quite clear yesterday we needed some more bodies at DE even just from a numbers standpoint. Little disappointed in whoever got final say on the 53-man roster that they didn’t keep someone like Egboh around even just for depth purposes.

Dah, you're right.
I forgot about the end of the year with Velasco and Matthews. Still, knowing Morgan would be out and Jones was banged up, from a numbers standpoint I think it would’ve made more sense to keep an extra DE around than another OL.

Though they get hurt sometimes,
I think that when it comes to additonal lineman you keep a couple of solid rotational players, that can play 2 or more positions,and maybe a developmental guy or two your high on….that would leave us room for other positions that rotate through out the game.

The vols had some issues with that the last two weeks.
What is it with Tennessee punt returners turning into little girls inside the 20? Catch the damn ball.

Lots of things to be pissed about
In the long run it’s just one game, but it was a “slit your wrists, it’s all going down” terrible one game. That Jags team is bad and the Titans made them look good for three quarters when all they can do is win a rugby scrum. The have next to zero talent outside of MJD and Lewis was out, the right tackle was out.
How does Griff let 5’8’’ Mike Thomas outleap him for a ball?
Offensive Line was bad against a team with no pass rush.
If you’re going to holdout don’t play like a chump and CJ looked like he hadn’t played; totally out of sync.
