Thoughts on Skins vs Titans

ade maybe gone but did you see him get 2 pancake blocks on the same guy on a punt return........he pancaked #42 Henry and the the guy got up and kept on gettin it down the field and jimoh comes over and just lays his ass out again.....the dude can play some special teams man. he wont make the team with his coverage though, hes as bad as they come at corner.

I didn't see those plays on special teams. I realize the special teams has been what's kept him around for a while. Personally, I'd like to give some of these youngers corners a chance instead of holding onto solid special teamers that are always going to be just that.

I also liked how the announcers tried to put over Chris Henry as a hoss after a few good runs. Then, the rest of the night he was getting drilled for no yardage.

My impression was that Campbell played a bit better than I'm reading here. He did have a pretty egregious over throw and led Espy about 3 yards too far on an out but other than that his throws had good velocity and were on target. It's hard to throw with an entire dline in your face. About the fumbles, yes you'd like to see him "sense" the hit and cover up but it's the first pre-season game, those were the first hits he's taken this year and they weren't small. I saw nothing from Campbell that would make me anything but optimistic about the future (including this year.)

There was pre-snap motion. The two biggest passing plays came off receivers in motion. ARE's first down catch and Santana's nice long reception.


Thanks for the correction.

My take on the game was mixed. I thought Campbell looked pretty good when he had time to throw the ball and he made a couple good passes to Moss and Randle El. He does need to learn to hold the ball and just go down when the pass rush is coming and the pocket collapses. He also needs to read blitzes better because on that first sack and fumble he didn't even see the blitzer coming and got blind sided. I think the titans also picked on Heyer and Wade a lot.

I agree that our o-line didn't create many holes for Cartwright to run through, but when he did have holes, if it was Portis or Betts, they would've created much more with the football.

My biggest worry about the offense was where was Cooley? Was he thrown to at all in the entire game? He needs to be a huge part of this offense and I don't believe he saw any looks. I mean maybe they moved him to protection since tennessee was blitzing a lot but he needs to see much more action.

The defense looked pretty dang good, Fletcher looks ready to play and he looks like one of the better acquisitions we've made in awhile, plus he played under GW for awhile in Buffalo so they have some chemistry. The d-line looked good against the run even in the absence of Griffin, and I think we did pressure the quarterback enough to make him throw bad passes. Landry made a couple good plays and so did Rocky McIntosh, didn't hear Washington's number called too often. I think our secondary does look a little bit suspect and we are still playing like ten yards off of people so that worries me.

The last thing I noticed is that Suisham or whatever does not have any competition on the depth chart, and he clanked a 49 yarder off the upright and kicked a kick-off out of bounds. After watching this performance I think we need to think about bringing in some competition into training camp.

Overall, I think this was a game of ups and downs and hopefully we'll see a better performance from the starters, especially the offense, next saturday against the steelers.

Welcome, Bully Worm. Good post.

I didn't see the game, but weren't they kind of forced to keep Cooley in to protect? Probably it was a result of the O-line shuffling.

Good to hear about Fletcher and the LBs. We still need some push from the DEs, no doubt, but hopefully that will come.

The offense better pick it up, because the Steelers play some good D. If we can't get the left side of our o-line into shape, we are going to have some problems.

On the offensive side of the ball we have alot of work to do, JC was average. Brunell looked his age, Collins looked most impressive for once. One of the old timers has got to go. Hopefully Brunell!

Pleasantly suprised with the defense, looked IN FORM! Fletch was awesome, along with the line and the secondary!

Its just the first game of pre, I look for us to sharpen up on the offensive side of the ball each week.

We came home with a victory by fighting it out till the end, look forward to improvements this week against the steelers at home.

Our defense was beast that game. Even when JC fumbled and gave it to them with amazing field position we drove them back and they didn't even kick a field goal. Offensive line needs some work and we need to learn how to hold on to the football.

Considering it's the first game I'm happy with it. As usual the offense takes a bit longer to come around. If our starting crew has another night like that in game 3, then it's time to worry.

Question, how many of the starters on our line played consistently? I know I saw the rookie T from MD in there, but I had company and couldn't quite focus on the game as much as normal. It seemed as if the Titans had a lot of pressure with just the front 4.

Will 10 yard torrents haved this game? Since I missed large chunks?

Did Lloyd get any playtime?

supposed to be capped, we'll see if its up in the next couple days.

i had to sopcast and could only get audio since my connection/the server was being slow :(

Can't wait to see how we handle the Steelers pash rush. Also will be good to see Ryan Clark return home. We should have never let him go, especially for the little money that he demanded. With the Steelers left OLINE weak, I am also interested to see how our DLINE steps up.

Speaking of our offense, I saw a really good breakdown from last nites game. This guy has way too much time on his hands.

No, Campbell shouldn't try to force passes where his receivers will get killed. He did the same thing to Espy.

The pass was there before the defenders got there.

AS a former, you have one job: Catch the Frickin Ball!!! Not only did he get two hands on it, but he brought it into his chest only to lose it. It could have even been a fumble.


That very well could have been a 3 and long in a SEASON game, where it counts mind you, that we needed, and the only outcomes that I saw were a dropped pass and a potential fumble.

Think about that!
