Defense must play great today


Recommended Posts

 

 

Like Tannehill......this may prove to be Mariota's weakness.

 

The proliferation of the short passing game in college has created some situations where some highly regarded QB's are making it all the way to starting NFL jobs before teams know if they can accurately deliver the deep ball.

 

How good TT can become is uncertain but it's no small thing that he throws the deep ball fairly well.

Agreed.

 

Mariota had Wright? open deep after he put a good move on Gilmore and Mariota under threw him. It was a really bad throw.

the one where he got picked off by Gilmore? It was a bad throw because Dareus was bearing down on him as he threw it Edited by YoloinOhio

No the one earlier in the game, think it might have been first half. He had room to step up and throw and he under threw it and allowed Gilmore to come back and break it up. Gilmore had his back to the ball, thought he might have been called for face guarding but they let it go.

Well, the defense played very well in my opinion, and the DL DID make some huge plays, so I'm happy to see that!

 

The most important part is the W. Just stack those up now, especially since the teams we thought would be right there for the wild card are falling apart (Ravens, KC, Houston)

It was said over and over that the Bills D was getting tired playing so much, but I think the Titans O-line also wears down having to defend them so long. Our line played better late, I think, because the Titans O-line got tired.

... and Lewin went out late in the game. His replacement was awful.
