With the 100th pick, the Titans select CB Elijah Molden

I saw Ryan really put out of position after AJ25 and Butler got injured, not so much before. I don’t know what lesson can be learned from that outside don’t get injured.

 

Considering the fact that you have a world class sprinter against a CB that isn't real fast to begin with you might incorporate some S help. Almost anything is better than what we ended up doing. We would have been no worse putting a LB on him and better off putting a LB on him with a single high S helping out. Basically the S sits in the middle and identifies the crossing route and hopefully already being in the middle of the field can get in decent position.

 

Wouldn’t the D keep Molden off the world class sprinter?
I get it slot cover guy but typically the fastest WR is outside and on the occasion he is inside, why couldn’t molden slide outside and the fasted DB cover the faster WR? Of course this is in Man coverage.

 

Sure, depends on the defensive call but certainly Farley or Jenkins could man up instead of Molden. Maybe Fulton as well. Still, we are talking about the fastest guy in the NFL so putting a guy who only gets beat by one or two steps instead of 10 yards is still getting beat. IMO keep Farley and Jenkins outside and double the inside. That forces the QB to either throw into double coverage or pick someone else.

 

You have to have guys in your front 7 to contest those crossing routes and slants or use your safeties for it. It can’t be just corners on an island to shut those routes down. You want to slow Tyreek Hill down, you hit him on those crossers. Remember Al Afalava? It was really the only thing he was good at. Need a guy like that now and then.

 

A nice push and pass rush helps but if you remember the play we are talking about it wasn't a 5 yard cross. Hill practically ran where the S normally is and Ryan looked like he was running in quick sand trying to keep up. So yea, the S needs to head off the route almost like a switch.

Eight tackles, one sack, two tackles for a loss, one pass defensed, and one forced fumble. What a first game.

 

Dude is pure gold. Let's just hope he can stay away from the injury bug with the way he plays.

 

Ive never seen a sack like this

 

That was a good move. Watching the 2 OL smack into each other’s face is pretty funny.
