I for one will be interested to see how this plays out this year. Both the Titans and Colts did drastic measures to improve these areas, and it will be fun to watch which team wins the majority of this battle.

 

In case you have missed it, the Titans brought in new OGs in Levitre and Chance Warmack, and most likely a new center in Brian Schwenke along with a 2nd RB in Shonn Greene. We all know the many additions the Colts have made in the front 7.

CJ's biggest asset is his speed.  With us, that wasn't as big a factor since we had arguably the fastest front 7 in the league for several years.  But now, there doesn't seem to be as much of an emphasis on speed for our defense.  I'm interested to see how it turns out

That's a great point. I think that every team in the AFC has done a good job of strenghtening their weaknesses. I think that the Colts, after looking at the AFC, have decided that we do not face dominant QBs in our division, but we do face great runningbacks like MJD, Foster, and CJ2K. It's clear that they have put an emphasis on stopping the run and being more stout up front. Our new direction will translate into more wins in our division.

 

With Luck gaining experience and working in a more efficient offensive system, I hope that we will soon have the best offense in the division, and fight to have one of the best defenses in the division. We're a long ways away from the latter, or at least until further evaluation of our newly aquired talent.

Out of the 3, CJ was the more "easier" one to stop so to speak. And after that 200+ Arian Foster had on us, we started slowing him down. He just was able to score more. But MJD, he's the real problem. Just seems no matter what, he always has a big game against us. Glad he was out on the TNF rematch last year or that game probably would've been more closer

To me, it will be Shonn Greene against a bunch of tired BIG UGLIES :) that will be a bigger threat for the Colts come 4th qtr. than CJ2K. CJ2K's efficiency will be boosted by signing Shonn Greene, I feel.

 

It was that way vs the Chargers too, we will stop LT but then Michael Turner as a change of pace back will hurt us later when our D is playing with tired legs.

 

Bigger D or smaller faster D, sooner or later, every D will have tired legs unless they have exceptional quality depth that can be rotated in and out.

 

I do worry about our D vs the no huddle though.

Also should point out that building our team to win the division will also build it with the essentials to post season success(Aka stopping the run and being able to run it as well).

Very good discussion BProland85. We often see teams in the same division build to beat each other, and it is very interesting watching the Titans build the power running game while we are building the run defense. This could be a very nice rivalry again soon.

 

Schwenke was the guy I wanted, and Tennessee snagged him.

This. 

 

That line is...  :woah:

 

They should have a top running game.

      Richardson day to day with abdominal, oblique injuries

      By ColtAndOrioles · Posted

      I have rewatched the play that he got injured on last Sunday and after which he started flopping around like a fish.  Or worse yet a soccer player who fell like he has just been shot after getting nicked by a finger.   Honestly if he gets hurt from a hit like that, which was nothing in terms of hard NFL hits, and has such a low pain tolerance that his over riding thought at the time is to drop, and NOT PROTECT, the football?   I don't think he will ever last in the NFL.  I mean his instinct was to release the ball and put his hand on his hip.   Being honest I only see players who only think of themselves do that type of thing.  I am not saying AR is selfish.  I just think he is made of glass and can't take pain.    Watch the hit.  He got hit kind of on the back/side by a guy who is much smaller and who didn't even deliver that big of a blow.  It was a hit that all football players face every game.   I am not to judge anyone about the amount of pain they feel when getting hit by an NFL player.  I am sure it hurts.  But it should be very obvious by now that his ability to be tough and his pain tolerance threshold is very very low compared to other NFL players.    Not to mention, KNOWING THIS, he refuses to slide and even said after the game that he will "do what he do".   Play football.  Not slide.    I am not encouraged.

      Taking a poll on Richardson and everyone's views...

      This is just wrong. Objectively wrong. Several tweets have been posted on this forum over the last weeks with statistics showing AR very clearly has a lot of potential whilst not playing like crap - despite the narrative some here want to push. Don't get me wrong - it's not been all sunshine and roses either, but his supporting cast was pretty % through the first 3 weeks for instance - AR was near top of the league in receiver drops.   Playing Flacco whilst AR is ready gives us nothing. NOTHING. It'll just be a wasted season and we've had more than enough of that in the Ballard era.

      If you had asked me before this week I would have voted yes on being our starter in 3 years.  But after what he said?  I don't have any confidence that he will never learn to protect himself.

      Sam will either be the backup or emergency QB. I will be interested if AR backs Flacco up or is the emergency QB.  I bet AR is dressed as the emergency QB or the backup. It’s going to be interesting what they do.

      Haha yeah.  One thing a player should never do......even give the slightest insult to the home fans.   The people that pay his salary.   "People gonna talk, that's what people do".   Well now he can talk on the couch like all the fans that he dissed.   When you have played a grand total of maybe 5 total games out of what...22 now?   He really just needs to shut up.  And oh, learn how to slide.
