Titans @ Chargers Pre Game Thread | (Wk 15)

[sonorajim]

Titans offense averages 18.5 points per game this year ( 26th) and are bottom feeders at total ypg, and pass ypg.
Their scoring D is better than avg
LAC 20- Ten 17 should get the job done.

Prior to the Phins game I couldn't see any way our defense could handle those two great, swift WR's they have - but they found a way and we got the win.

This week, I can't see any way we can handle the Titan's running game. Can they come up with a magical way to do that like they did last week? I don't think so. I think we have to simply outscore them. This one is up to the offense.

The last frontier for Herbert - winning the unwinnable games.

Sun nite Staley dumbed down his defensive game plan because there were so many new faces filling in for injured players. And it worked very well, with a bunch of backups. By his own admission, it was the best execution of a game plan by the defense all season. Maybe the defensive struggles this season are because, in part, Staley's game plans are too complicated and they're not executed properly? I don't know. But I do hope Staley figures out why his game plan for the Dolphins worked so well and applies that formula to his future defensive game plans. I look forward to seeing how the defense performs against the Titans, it will be a harbinger.

You can't put it all on Herbert.To me it looked like our"genius" coach finally got something out of our backups.Herbert is a perfect QB to win a Superbowl with in my opinion,the rest of the burden lies on Spanos,TT,and Staley to create a winner around him.

They can play more aggressively when they don’t have to think as much. It especially benefits Murray. If Brandon’s smart he’ll realize that and design to his player’s strengths

We don't know everything about what goes on, and it seems like a simple solution and maybe it is, but it sure feels like this is the case.

Their pass D is horrible. 31th in the league.
They give nearly an average of 300 yards a game.
If I played Fantasy football, I would go all in with Herbert, Williams and Allen.

It reminds me of a Chargers D coordinator we had back in the late 80's early 90's Ron/Fred Lynn (don't remember his first name). He had this defense that sounded amazing on paper, it was really complicated though and it required every player to make the same read instantly and react instantly. If 1 player fails then the whole thing falls apart. The defense was not that good, then the Chargers brought in Bill Arnsbarger and he ran a much more simpler defense and the players thrived in that, we went to a SB with a lot of the same pieces on D just under a different coordinator.

Sometimes you can just outthink yourself out there.

Edit: I'm not ready to give up on this bad joke.
