    SUMMARY: Last season, the Titans defense ranked 30th allowing 4.6 yards per carry. Through three preseason games, the Titans have allowed only 2.4 yards per carry. Coach Jeff Fisher says his defense has responded to coaches and concentrated on details. "We've been more specific in gap fits, we've done a better job on the edge forcing (runners) back inside," Fisher said. "We're stressing discipline on the backside, we're not as vulnerable on the backside. And we're doing a better job staying on our feet and getting off blocks." Despite the improvement, the Titans are in talks with free agent DT Corey Simon who GM Mike Reinfeldt feels they have a good chance to sign.

    Barring serious injury, it looks like our D will be in the top 4 or 5.

    I don't know why people think they can make quantifiable predictions based on the preseason.

    I think we will def be better than last year. A lot of that depends on the pass rush of odom.

    The Redskins have good players on defense, though, so that's not an apt comparison. I think preseason has shown that we have the potential for a great defense. Now scheme will matter...and health.

    I'm sorry, but, if I'm not mistaken, to "play" a pre season game, the players are "playing". That gives the opportunity for observers, like myself, to make quantifiable predictions. Any questions???

    I'll gloat when the season is over and the rankings are final...

    they had essentially the same people last year:

    - Lemar Marshall
    + Springs
    + Landry
    + Fletcher

    and there defense was right up there with ours last year.... :ha:
