    Got to make the Ravens drive the ball the length of the field....can’t give up the easy quick strike TD. Contain and confuse Lamar.

    The titans defense just scares the s**t out of me. We get zero pressure on the QB. But maybe that's not a bad thing against Lamar. Just contain him and make him throw.

    My eyes tell me that we played less soft zone and more man coverage last season, and used db blitzes more often. Maybe Vrabel wasn’t comfortable with that after losing Ryan to fa and Adoree to injury. Would like to see us get back to that though.

    CBF checking snap counts, but I reckon Crawford will have played less snaps across the season than the 2 $10m+ chumps

    interesting because they kept saying during the Texans game how the Titans play more man than many other teams this year. We dont have the players, other than Butler, or the safeties to play that so much.

    One analyst suggested that the titans get into trouble because they try too hard to disguise their coverages and blitzes. On the last Texans drive where they completed the long pass behind Adoree, the analyst said that he was playing his zone too shallow. He may have been trying to make it look like man pre-snap and couldn't get back into his zone in time. Also, in the AFC Champ game last year, the analysts kept saying that the Titans D had a good game plan in place against MaHomes with the single high zones and disguises, but the players were out of position so much trying to disguise the coverages. Maybe they are over thinking on D, and that's why they are so ineffective. Maybe Vrabel will simplify things for the playoffs.

    That makes sense because it seems like their would always be a Titan "in the area" but never in position to force an incompletion.

    As disappointing as Clowney was, I wonder how much of a difference a healthy Clowney would have made against someone like Lamar Jackson.

    Didn't the D get 4 sacks? So subtract some of those.
