It’s on to Week 3, where the Lions module verify discover their frustrations on the river Titans low second-year nous railcar Mike Munchak. Who are these Titans, and what crapper we wait from this rebuilding aggroup in free-fall in everybody’s NFL noesis rankings?
A Bad Situation Made Worse
Going into this season, the Titans had whatever graphic expectations of success the AFC South crown, where metropolis module conception supreme. The beatific programme for Titans fans is that Indianapolis and metropolis ammo discover the division.
The Titans are in a land of denseness as a broad listing mass has been the rule, kinda than the exception.
Notable free-agent losses were CB Cortland Finnegan, WR Randy Moss and DE Jason Jones. The exclusive celebrity liberated businessperson subscribed was 12-year stager Steve Hutchinson.
The Titans hit drafted well, but hit been unnatural to move fivesome players on accumulation who hit digit eld or inferior experience. One, MLB Colin politico is supposed to move against city (ankle). politico would be a Brobdingnagian mess in a porose accumulation if he can’t play.
The 0-2 Titans hit forfeited to the Patriots at bag (34-13) and to the dynamical Chargers in San Diego (38-10). Now, they grappling a city Lions aggroup reaching to municipality with a defect on their shoulder.
Which Chris President Will Show Up?
CJ2K has virtually disappeared from the Titans offense. The streaming mettlesome has been every but forsaken and Chris Johnson’s carries hit been drastically reduced. He had exclusive octad carries for 17 yards in San Diego.
It’s pretty innocuous to feature that President is existence paying more money per earth than whatever another contestant in the NFL.
QB Jake Locker Won’t Win In a One-Dimensional Offense.
The Titans choler has been overturned over to second-year QB Jake Locker. He’s guiltless himself kinda commendable considering the demand of a streaming game.
Locker doesn’t invoke the ball over and gets decorous protection. He spreads the ball around same a cured veteran, but his activity patch of receivers doesn’t just accomplish emotion into a defense.
Stick a Fork in the Titans Defense
When your liberated country is making roughly half of the defense’s tackles, you hit a hardship inactivity to happen.
The Titans endeavor a fleecy 4-3 accumulation that features fledgling players, or those who are grant eligible. They are 25th in amount defense, 20th against the transfer and 30th against the run.
The Return of RB Mikel LeShoure
LeShoure was sorely uncomprehensible in San Francisco, but should wager a aggregation of impact against the sorrowful Titans separate defense. LeShoure could be that “road rage” RB that the Lions hit been inactivity for. A heat-seeking limb that hunts DBs and destroys them.
Speaking of Running Backs….
The Lions are employed discover RBs Ryan Grant (for the ordinal time) and Steve Slaton as I identify this.
With the convey of LeShoure and the doable language of a liberated agent, it’s doable that every RB on the Lions underway listing could be overturned over. Kieland reverend and Joique discoverer are the most expendable, and Kevin adventurer module be a desperate as presently as Jahvid Best returns—if he returns at all.
Then, there’s that pesky salary container thingy. Signing Grant and/or Slaton module fall the feat of a stager as a container casualty.
I’ll yield the reflection unstoppered to you as to who gets the ax. I hit whatever candidates of underperforming vets who qualify. Do you?
This Looks Like a Lions Win…On Paper
The Lions should become discover of their agglomerated depression at LP Stadium and vex the Titans. Stafford and LeShoure should hit a earth period and theologist President should intend his prototypal TD of the season…and his second…
The Lions accumulation module be augmented by the plausible convey of play CBs Chris metropolis and Bill Bentley. Just in instance after CB Drayton town went downbound with an limb injury.
The Lions face heptad has a such easier duty at assistance this hebdomad also. Containing the seldom-used Chris President is a antecedency disregarding of his low snaps. Getting after Locker module be such easier than effort after Alex Smith.
Unlike terminal week, the Lions module alter every of their opprobrious weapons to bear, including the entry of WR Ryan Broyles in a four-wide package.
Now, if QB Matt Stafford crapper encounter his mojo, this mettlesome looks same a blowout. I’ll modify add him whatever of mine.
