Titans @ Ravens

[tsylvester]

Remember the Titans? Sorry, ya know I had to go there.... Any who, this ain't the tyrannical Titans of yesteryear, where Ray Lewis vs Eddie George explosions would fill the stadium. No, with their fresh new logo the Titans, perhaps tiny Titans is more the name we should use.

Okay, enough of the word play, time to talk turkey. 

The Titans come to town looking for their first win of the season. They are averaging just over 12 pts per game, while giving up a hair shy of 20 points per game (19.6).

Cam Ward is their signal caller, the second year spinner is completing 62% of his passes, with 2 yds and 1 pick. He has been sacked 5 times. Cam is averaging 5.7 yards per pass, yes, short, quick passes. I guess they plan on winning by death of a thousand cuts...mmm..

Defensively, qbs are completing 71 % of their passes, good for 30th in the league, with 2 tds and 2 picks. and 6 sacks.

Against the run, they are 9th best allowing just 3.6 yards per carry, and 3 tds.

Yes, with a make shift line due to injury, the Ravens may find it difficult to make room for Henry to run against his former team.

Jet leg from the long journey back home, recovering mentally from a game that saw multiple lead changes just in the last few minutes of the game and winning the game in just two plays; a long pass and a long field goal all in 7 seconds.

Then there are the injuries, along the line, in the secondary. There is so much to take from the last game, but only so long as it helps build a step, to climb the stairway to the post season.

So, who ya got?

They are bad and this should be easy.

Should be. But this is the kind of game we usually play down to our competition.

Meanwhile, they should keep Ioane at C and look for a guard.
