    I would rather keep being optimistic and hope the D steps up and be disappointed then be negative and be disappointed

    At this point, there really isn't that can be done to change this defense beyond maybe blitzing more. However, the Titans actually blitz at a rate that is middle of the pack for NFL teams, so even then, I don't see that as making much of a difference.

    The defense is what it is, a liability. Just have to hope the offense is set to put up 35+ points in every game from here on out and the special teams doesn't make any major mistakes. Even then, this may not be enough

    With jackson and fulton back, even tho they aren't 100%, we should be using dbs way more in blitzes. We have a few guys that can be effective blitzing out of the secondary. We are going to really need these guys to step up in the pass rush game

    Well we played 2 variations of defense last season so maybe they will change it up

    If course youd be the one to have zero faith in them

    I can't disagree. Yesterday I think was a dress rehearsal of 20% of what we are going to roll out to confuse LJax.

    If we can get off the field on third downs, and our turnover luck continues to be a huge positive, that should be enough to allow us to compete with anyone given our offense and ability to shorten games.

    However if we're losing turnover battles, we're probably toast.

    Guys, this defense sucks. There’s no magical switch they can flip to make them better.

    Winning the turnover battle is the only way we have a chance, which means the offense has to play perfect and the D has to get lucky. That’s not something you wanna bank on every week.
