    The DL line would be good but they are injured kinda. Odom has been out and Smith got dinged, I don't know their status. Big Al is hot and cold in a way. If he is on, watch out. He's really good, it's just that there are times he makes us wonder. KVB is solid. He's not quite where he was last year but he plays really hard. LaBoy is someone I want to see step up. He gets mixed reveiws.

    I agree with the Roy Williams smack, but despite all of that I would trade for him even money with Lamont Thompson. His next job might be in the CFL, if they think he is good enough, which I doubt. Even Canadian football has standards. Maybe the Dallas Desperados will sign him to a one year deal. Alonzo Spellman found work there, why not the weak sauce king himself, #28, Lamont "I hit like a girl" Thompson? :brow:

    I think Vanden Bosch is an extremely talented player, he played outstanding last season!!!! So overall it sounds like your line is off and on I guess. When they are hot, they are HOT, but when cold, they struggle.

    Man, Lamont Thompson sounds horrible!!! Alot of people have told me about him on here, him and Hill have been mentioned alot as being horrible in the secondary!!!

    If Owens goes on Sunday, which is highly possible, it could spell trouble for that secondary.

    Was sissy boy williams form tackling when he broke both of calico's knees in that preseason game - HECK NO. was sissy boy williams form tackling when cris "Ive fallen and I can't get up" Brown of all people planted him face first in that crap Dallas calls a field?

    Newsflash - Cokley threw McNair into an equiptment cart that was 30 feet from the sildeline and did NOT draw a foul for years ago. I remember these things.

    How would you suggest Roy tackle a player when chasing him from behind. I'm sorry but Roy wasn't penalised a single time last year, not for a horse-collar tackle, PI, or anything.

    You were asking about him taking a ball-carier head on...Video

    That's a video a few guys from cowboys-forum.com made.

    Chris Brown got him out of position in a preseason game. Find a time when Roy gets his body on a player and gets shrugged off. You won't find it.

    About Coakley....go ahead and hate him for somthing he did in the past, just don't waste cowboy fans time with it. Go talk to a rams fan about their player. I didn't like Coakley when he played for the cowboys, and I could care less about him now. I'm wasting my time talking about him.

    So because the refs show favortism towards da'boyz I should be impressed with sissy boy roy, I think not.

    bottom line cris Brown is about as soft a rb as there is in the NFL and he face planted roy "form tackle" Williams - :evil:

    Coakley was a Cowpie when he got away with that particular personal foul. Disavow all ya want I could care less.

    Good Homerism there, but seriously....do you really think our defense can score that much?

    Pacman is going to make up his 4 missed TDs with 4 more against Dallas, as well as a INT for TD.

    35 points just on pacman....imagine the fantasy points.

    I will need to correct you on this statement. It was the Eagles that you have to thank for that rule. They're the one's who complained to the NFL and convinvced the rule committee to change. People have been tackling that way for over 75 years and nobody said a thing until the sissy Eagles opened their dirty mouths!

    Well...

    The 2 BIGGEST factors affecting this game are whether TO plays (which I doubt now) and how healthy our OG's are.

    If TO doesn't play, it changes the whole complexion of your offense. We could either man up Pac on Glenn all day or put Hill on him with automatic double coverage (with Hope...NOT Thompson). Pac has the talent to stay with him and doubling him with Hill and Hope would probably persuade Bledsoe from making a living going to him. Bulluck and Thornton can stay with Whitten so I'm not worried there (though Whitten is a good recieving TE). I'm also not worried about your run game since you have a very avg OL, our DL matches up well, and our LB's are good enough to cause you problems. Jones won't break 100 yards unless he gets a LOT of carries.

    More importantly, if we can contain your running game (as we should) and put good coverage on Whitten and Glenn, we can get Bledsoe to hold the ball which leads to 2 things happening...and they are both bad for a Cowboys fan. Bledsoe will either hold it too long and take a sack (or fumble the ball) or throw it too late (or miss his WR) and lead to an INT. This is why NE got rid of Bledsoe in the first place. He will offer up a few balls a game to be picked.

    If TO were playing, we'd have to keep 2 safeties back and probably give you more room to run. Since we don't, I think you'll see Hope playing closer to the line if we need him to.

    Schwartz, our DC has played a lot of soft zone since he's been here, but he brought the heat last week and we did well against the Dolphins. I expect a good combo of pressure and zone to disrupt Bledsoe and force some turnovers. I think we sacked Miami 5 times last week.

    I could see Bledsoe throwing a pick or 2 in this game (or losing a fumble on a sack).

    I could also see Pac returning a punt or Kickoff for a TD.

    It's the other side of the ball that will be problematic for the Titans. We have struggled against 3-4 defenses and you guys have a very talented unit. Add to that that our starting OG's are hurting including one backup and we have a serious issue on OL vs your front 7. Our OG play has hurt us the most in preventing us from establishing a run game and if you can't run well, you have to throw it and Collins only had 10 days to come in and learn the offense prior to week 1.

    Collins hit rock bottom (maybe lower) in week 2 but he played solidly against Miami (with no run game in the second half) and we had good opportunities down the field we didn't take advantage of (Collins missed open guys deep). Bennett is a deceptive WR in that he doesn't look that fast, but he keeps getting behind people (he runs good routes) and is 6'5. Givens is also good. Newman can't cover them both and Bennett has had big games against both good and bad CB's (not every game but he's been ABLE to beat almost anyone).

    I could see our run game going absolutely nowehere OR breaking out a bit. Breaking out would be a solid 75-85 yards on 20 or so carries...not 120 yards or anything like that. But if Brown can come back and we get our FB back, perhaps we can exploit one of the weaknesses in the design of the 3-4 D...several bubbles.

    Although the Titans frequently don't do this, I wish they played with 2 formations early...3 WR's, 1 TE, 1 RB and see how you guys matchup. If you take a LB off the field, we should spread you out and run. If you keep the 4th LB, we should throw forcing zone and or mismatches on the field. The other formation would be 3 WR, 1 RB, 1 FB. Again, do you take a LB off the field or not? And once you get the mismatches, you can stay in the hurry up to keep that mismatch on the field.

    I'd also hope to see VY play a few series out of the spread..shotgun and 3 WR's ala what he ran in college and what the Falcons have been running with great success.

    I suspect the Titans won't be that smart on offense, but the Titans goal on offense should be to move the chains, eat clock, and give up no turnovers. I would expect us to punt quite a few times.

    If we win this, it'll be relatively ugly I think.

    16-13 Titans.
