Texans vs. Titans

NE beat the TItans 38-30.

I think the Texans have a shot if they can consistently put pressure on Mcnair.

 

McNair has been a great QB for years now, and seems to be getting better even with Eddie George not being a major factor in the offense. Hopefully Capers and the guys have devised a good plan against an aerial assault. We will need Aaron Glenn healthy.

Putting pressure on McNair is easier said than done. He isn't focusing on one or two guys anymore, mainly Mason and Wycheck. Everyone is a target in the Titans offense, and if no one is open, then McNair can always beat us with his legs.

The fact that he hasn't had to run a lot this year is a bad sign that their offense is clicking and their passing attack is to be feared. I hope Houston will be able to contain McNair but at the very least it will be good experience for when the Texans play Atlanta and Mike Vick later on this season.

 

The key for this game is obviously to shut down McNair, both through the air and on the ground. He can still run it out and gain 10 yards if a play breaks down. We have to have one of our LBs spying on him on almost every play.

Of course, even if our defense is dominant and shuts down McNair, there's the problem of our offense against their defense. I have to give the upper hand to the Titans in almost every area.

Texans 16
Titans 31

 

Well, I'm just not sure I'm ready to deal with the media onslaught that will no doubt dominate the days leading up to this game. I mean, Steve McNair is a black QB, right?

 

No kidding RM, I hear they've got a honkey playing WR also...what are they thinking? Damn media.

 

A cracker at WR? And we're worried about beating them?

 

Few coaches prepare better for opponents than Dom Capers...and he's had an extra week to get ready.

The Titans should win...but I think both games were relatively close last year. I know the last game of the season was. I'll pick the Texas 16 Titans 13.

 

Titans by 20...

Any team that can't run is vulnerable, and the Titan's were 30th in rushing going into New England. They are probably last now.

 

The Titans can run as soon as they take Eddie George to the Glue factory.

I mean that guy has lost ALL his will to run hard.

Why can't Fisher see what everyone else can?

Just a thought I had after reading DD's post:

Is Eddie George the Grant Hill of the NFL?

 

Even if you get to McNair, he can't be tackled, it's damn near impossible. That's what makes him so effective. Plus he's in that zone where the game is easy.

The Texans seem to depend on turnovers. That's the one thing the Titans don't give you.

I'm a fan of both teams in a big way, I just think it's a bad matchup for the Texans all the way around. Titans is a romp 27-13.

 

I think at the end of the day, the Titans will win, but I don't think it'll be a blowout...I have confidence in the Texans and would love nothing more than us kickin' Bud's arse...

Go Texans

 

lmao, so true.

I agree with pgabriel's point. I think this one will be close.

 

Titans by 30.

 

I'll be at this game........ wohooo

 

I will too...its my Vandy 10-year reunion!!

 

The Titans derailed George's career when they failed to retain Lorenzo Neal 2-3 years ago.

 

Something we can agree on.
