    The FOX guys kept referencing how the Rams players must be worn out because they scrimmaged the Dallas Cowboys earlier this week. I understand that it's somewhat newsworthy to throw that out there, but they brought it up like 3 more times and I found it disrespectful that they're basically implying the Titans can only win because of it.

    Also, my overall game notes.

    -First of all, watched with my best friend/neighbor who is a Rams fan. So tonight was fun.

    -Mariota is going to make it in this league. I'm not overreacting to preseason performances, but he has the right mental attitude and the physical attributes. Just have that feeling for him, more than the feeling of blind support I had for Locker and VY. The Titans know it and everyone else around the country will see soon enough.

    -I love that the coaches have lit a fire under some of these players who think they don't have to fight for their spot because of high draft selection or a big contract. The first unit OL looked very good tonight, no doubt everyone stepped their game up after seeing what happened to Levitre. Then you had Sankey showing signs of life for the first time in Nashville. Good stuff.

    -Come on Justin Hunter, just show me something. DGB looked good tonight, not worried about Douglas or Walker, Wright may be taking the next leap, Nicks actually looks healthy, and the TE depth looks great along with McBride being a stash. If Hunter can just come around then this could be a very promising offense now and definitely in the future.

    -Mettenberger is not getting traded anytime soon. At least until after this season, until then I'm totally okay with him taking every chance he gets to boost his trade value.

    -If the Titans are to have any success this season, it hinges on the health of our CBs and OLBs. Very thin after the starters and defense looked like a total animal with Orakpo and Morgan being more involved tonight. Also, I loved our offseason signings. You can already tell they're going to make a big difference on the field and in the locker room.

    -Pulling hard for Cody Riggs to make this team.

    Yea our FA season is one of the best in recent years I think. Orakpo Searcy Cox Douglas and resigning Morgan are all starters and will be integral parts to our success, and even Bell looked halfway decent at LG today. So I guess we gotta give a little credit to Webster here. Orakpo in particular I'm most excited about, just hope he stays healthy.

    Still only preseason week 2 of course.

    I feel they handled a very good Ram team quite well. And the defense was great. If they can stay steady and consistent they are going to win game.

    Hunter can't even make plays against the 2nd and 3rd team Rams defense.

    Let's just stick a fork in it and call it a loss.

    OL looked solid!!! Mariota continues to impress. Orakpo is an animal out there! Sure hope his biceps hold up. Dare I say Al Woods looked dominate at NT?

    Did Orakpo have bicep issues? It's his pectoral muscles most are concerned with...

    Something I saw, Orakpo needs to quite leaping over piles and landing on his shoulders. Come on man.

    I saw that a few times as well. Made me nervous. I like the fire, but we can't have him injured.
