Exactly what I was gonna post. Give Capers an extra week to prepare and he will find a way to beat you. Look for lots of blitzes on McNair and if we stop the run, the Texans should win this game. The Titans defense is so banged up that Carr will just throw the short slant to Andre and Gaffney and they will pick up big yardage. Look for Andre to get behind the Titans D as well for at least one long touchdown. Texans-27 Titans-14
The bye week should help us keep it close. I think the Texans can win - it'll be close. If the Texans don't win, they won't be getting blown out.
mateo.. sweet.... always nice to have more texans fans on the vandy campus.. ill be at the texans game.. vandy game.. and whatever other homecoming events i make it to
mateo. do you know of any texans type events going on... I wouldn't mind stopping by the team hotel lol
i haven't followed the titans but is eddie george hurt or just bad now? he used to be one of my favorite players but obviously he's not performing, i thought he might be injured.
I don't think it's Eddie we have to worry about. It's Steve "Air" McNair, because he could be in a full body cast, and he still is capable of willing his team to victory.
Eddie just had a 100 yard rushing game a few weeks ago. He's definately not the runner he was 5 years ago. But no Rb ever is. Last year he had 1,000 yrds and 12 td. That's better than most rb in this league. This year he's only getting 12-15 carries. Way down from the 27 he used to get. Plus he no longer has Mathews and Munchak. Two of the greatest lineman ever. Also, consider this, the titans are 12 for their last 12 when Eddie gets 23 carries. That will bake your noodle. It baked mine. I'll agree the running game appears to suck, but it's not as bad as people think. it's just not the focus anymore.
Basically, no. Eddie George is simply past his prime. Grant Hill hasn't played in four years, while Eddie rarely has missed a game, even when banged up. Grant Hill is a player who's career has seemingly been cut WAY short by repeated injury. Eddie George's career will continue to tail as a player who helped carry his team to a Super Bowl, and suffered from the wear and tear of being a taller RB. Only comparison is that they both seemed to be upstanding guys in their particular sports.
There's gotta be more. . . How do you feel about pineapple milkshakes, cold boiled shrimp, The West Wing, The Best of SNL, Western landscapes, and the smell of your kids' hair?
Rockets Fan....no idea of any Texans events, but I will be at the Vandy game also. If you see a guy in a David Carr jersey with crutches at the Coliseum, that'll be me. You go to Vandy?
I dont expect it to be a romp, not with the extra time the team has had to get ready.. but...McNair is te big thing I worry about..he is damn good. (duh) If our D does their best, we have a chance. I'll call it.. Texans lose a close one. 27-24
mateo.. yep I go to vandy... I'll have a carr jersey on at the Titans game as well... I'll get to hear some more interesting comments just like last year from the ever so interesting titans fan... mateo.. try to ignore the fact that alumni lawn is sorta dead.. lol
This is a critical game for the Titans. They have to win this game. The New England loss and the Indy win on Monday night makes this a must win game for the Titans. This is where Coach Fisher excels. He is one of the best coaches in the NFL and I assure you the Titans will come out ready to play this game. The problem for the Titans is that they have no running game what so ever. I agree with Da Dakota that Eddie George is done. Plain and simple. We need to get Chris Brown more carries and I am hoping this is the game Coach lets the rookie get some more playing time. The Titans D will be jacked up and ready to play. We will be missing Samari and that will hurt. I know the Texans will be coming off a bye week and want this game just as bad as the Titans. I just think in the end that Steve will prove again why he is the best QB in the NFL right now. I have great respect for how far the Texans have come in only their second year. I tip my hat to a class organization. However, Steve, will find a way for the Titans to win this game. Keep in mind the Titans rarely blow teams out and most Titan games come down to the last few minutes of the game. This will be a close game. Titans 27 Texans 20
