Titans @ Chargers Pre Game Thread | (Wk 15)

[Velo]

looking @the Tennessee roster.... can see why Robinson got fired.... if Telesco had fielded an Oline like his, his seat would be white hot.

don't think Henry nor Tannehill are gonna be much of a problem.... problem is our O.... we need to score.... 'specially when there are scrubs on the other side o' the ball, save for Simmons.

Robinson got fired because he traded AJ Brown to the Eagles and replaced him with Treylon Burks.

Miami isn't going to beat the Bills.

I worry more about the Pats, that team refuses to die. Go Raiders.

The Patriots have vBengals and @Bills in their remaining 4. I'll be shocked if they win either of these. I'm going to say the Raiders will beat them too, but I'm much less sure about that.

I am sadly pessimistic.
Chargers are terrible vs the run.
Titans have Derrick Herny.

Henry could go for 200 yards.

Chargers defense looked good vs Miami because Miami is a pass happy team.
Vs a run first team, the Chargers will struggle.

will be surprised if Henry goes over 100 yards.... we have options.

if we keep him inbetween Mack 'n Fehoko, and then let Murray and Reeder have @it inbetween them, think we could have some good results.

and know that the some of us in here are gonna say that Reeder got beat over the top by that RB against the 49ers, but that is also because of a lack of pass rush and help over the top from the safety, and.... CBs and safeties get gouged for long plays as well.

it's like when people complain that we can't throw long or intermediate routes because of our lack of pass pro.... yes, we oft are a leaky sieve protecting Herbo, and.... the key is not to isolate individual plays, and to look @the body of work.

the longball scores points.... Reeder in on run D helps mitigate the run.... how many points did SF have that half.... (not very many)

(don't throw the baby out w/the bathwater.... we need to maximize our personnel, i.e. the both of Carter and Palmer can get open deep, and the both of Reeder and Murray can play against the run).

There are GOATs and there are scape GOATs...

John Spanos
Tom Telesco
Brandon Staley
Michael Lombardi
Renaldo Hill

which one of the above listed does not deserve to be scape GOATed ??

(I ask because eye do think there is one of that bunch who is disproportionately being scapegoated....)

ps. and don't think Herbert is gonna reach GOAT status, but do think he is gonna win a SB, and it will be as a Charger, and in the foreseeable future, but.... not w/the any of team Tommy John nor Stalesco.

[beachcomber]

Ten's only hope is dominating run offense.

when I read that, my first thought was that #10 Justin Herbert, needed a dominating run game.... come on down Joshua Ke!!ey,

[beachcomber]

McDaniel should have run the ball more. Many teams have made that mistake this season. Charger pass defense is better than run defense and for some stupid reason, the teams Chargers have beat seem to get impatient, or forget that, and start passing their way to defeat.

not sure that has always been a given, given the struggles that Asante has had, along w/Vato on the pine, and not to mention a wholly unspectacular debut for JC Jack.... Callahan has been the lone consistently shining light back there, and.... we've still got three pretty good CBs out there atm.

ps. it is said that the Chinese say, that us Americans are too impatient....

We'll probably only have to wait 20 more years before they invade us with a 3-pronged assault from Mexico, Alaska and the Pacific.

WTF?

WTF?

Don't know, seems likely to me. They've been laying the infrastructure in Central and Latin America, Canada and really everywhere buying strategic assets vital to national security, but that's for another topic.

[wu-dai clan]

WTF?

LOL.
Just today, Mother India's army was beating the shit out of China's troops with sticks and long poles, up in the Himalayas.
Team China had to retreat.

Haha, don't blow it out of proportion. It's just a dozen or so troops that got into a skirmish. It happens somewhat frequently in those disputed areas between China and India. Both sides are instructed not to fire and carry light weaponry so it doesn't blow up into a greater conflict.

Indeed, I wish India was a capable strategic adversary to China at the moment, but the Chinese are better equipped, better trained, have vastly more resources allocated to their military-industrial complex, have a sizably greater overall industrial base and a political system that allows their government to operate with impunity while deeming a great portion of its population as "disposable resources" ready for mobilization.
