Let’s take a look at where the Titans rank around the league in various statistical categories:
Offense
Yards per game
386.1 (6th)
Rushing yards per game
146.0 (3rd)
Passing yards per game
240.1 (21st)
Points per game
26.4 (8th)
Defense
Yards allowed per game
361.4 (17th)
Rushing yards allowed per game
93.7 (8th)
Passing yards allowed per game
267.7 (24th)
Points allowed per game
25.1 (22nd)
A few observations:
- 3rd in the league in rushing. Smashmouth indeed!
- The passing yards per game number would be higher if the Jaguars and the Packers could have kept pace. How many times have we been able to say that over the years??
- The rushing defense is really only doing so well because the pass defense is so bad. Most teams will chose the path of least resistance. That is throwing the ball against the Titans.
- The Titans are top 10 in the league in points. Maybe Lambert has a point....
