The best way to neuter Derrick Henry is to build a big lead and force the Titans to play catch up with Tannehill. That is what the Jags did Sunday in Tenn. The Titans initially built a lead behind explosive runs by Henry, but turnovers gave the Jags opportunity and Trevor Lawrence took full advantage. He torched the Titans secondary; Herbert can do it too. Henry had a big first half, but he also lost a fumble. In the second half, down by nearly 3 TDs, the Titans had start throwing the ball, and Henry didn't see the ball much. The Titans turned the ball over four times. Tannehill and Henry were each responsible for two. The Titans' OL had a hard time protecting Tannehill and the Titans' pass rush couldn't get to Lawrence. I think the biggest mismatch between the Chargers and Titans is Herbert vs Tenn's pass defense.

Thanks KellyB - this guy knows a lot more modern defense than I do. Good stuff.

How are they in terms of pass rushing? Because that’s more important given what happened against the Raiders.

(12)Mia &(13) Ten are tied w/ 33 sacks ea so far. Oddly Ten is #31 in pass D.

Getting a big lead = Lombardi needs to open the playbook and release the Kraken.

He’s never released the Kracken unless Chargers are way behind in the 4th quarter.

Exactly, the Titans always struggle when playing from behind.

Their passing game is never good.

If we can't release the Kraken...can we at least free Willy?

Even when the QB isn’t pressured?

You’ve seen the Charger pass rush without Bosa, right?

Unfortunarely yes

I counter with...

Ryan Tannahill...and the worst group of receivers in the NFL.

I wonder if Burks is back

Put Slater & Pipkins in front of the edge rush. One out is tough, two out and it's bad odds for deep throws.
