THE STATE OF THE TITANS: WEEK 5 EDITION

 

Hey I’m going to start analyzing future Colt opponents from now on. I'm trying to find out more about future opponents so I can better understand what the Colts are going up against from week to week. The reason why I’m doing this is to pass the period in one of my classes and guess what? There are computers in my class!  Anyways I hope you guys will enjoy this and hopefully comment on anything you guys believe might be missing or could be important as Colts prepare for the Titans.

 

 

 

1.) 0-4

That picture pretty much sums up their season so far. I know the Titan’s wished they could be back to their 2008 form. However the Titans are a divisional opponent and shouldn’t be taken lightly. If we know anything about divisional rivalries, its that there’s always a chance of an upset. Still even at 0-4 the Titans have shown they can hang with some solid teams such as the Steelers, Jets, and Texans. Losing by either a touchdown or less, with the exception of the whooping the Jags gave them this past Sunday.

 

2.) Kerry Collins

This guy has seen better days, trust me on that one. Lately, he hasn’t been as careful with the football as he should be. His stats so far have been 914 passing yds, 5 TD’s, and 6 interceptions. What stands out to me is his interceptions and it makes me feel good. I prefer a sitting duck with my order of Freeney on the side. In that I mean I always favored older Qb’s against our D, it makes it way easier for Freeney or Mathis to sack them. Hopefully he’ll still start this week or maybe Vince Young can take up the QB mantle. Either way, I believe the Colts can pressure either QB into making mistakes

.

3.) Chris Johnson and LenDale White

Chris Johnson honestly is the only player that scares me going into this game. He’s actually ahead of Adrian Peterson in terms of rushing yards. That spells bad news for the Colts D. They Colts might also have to contest with LenDale White. Recently there’s been praise for his sudden weight loss of about 30 pounds. The way he accomplished it is even more surprising. All he did is cut out the patron. Amazing isn’t it? Anyway, White hasn’t been doing so well this season and hopefully he’ll continue this trend. As for Johnson...let's hope the Colt's come in with the swagger they've had so far and shut down Johnson early.

4. The Titans O-Line, D-Line, and WR's

The Titans O-Line have been keeping their end of the bargain so far this year. They’ve only allowed 5 sacks and are probably one of the premiere elite running teams. Luckily, their Pass Offense isn’t as explosive as their run game. My best guess on why they aren’t producing passing yards, is their lack of WR’s. Do the names Nate Washington and Kenny Britt ring any bells? I bet for most of you they wouldn’t. Basically, Nate Washington was signed as a free agent in March. He used to play for the current Super bowl Champion Steelers (soon to be Super bowl Champion Colts). Lately, Washington is leading the Titans in TD’s catches. Kenny Britt is the Titans first round draft pick and has since lead them in receiving yards, usually averging around 10.8 a catch. If these two are covered well, this could make it an easier win for the Colts.

Now on to their D-Line. They’ve accumulated about nine sacks this season with their defense. However there’s two sides to every coin and this one is ugly. They’re next to last in the league defending the pass. (Predicting another 300 yd pass game from Manning) On the other hand their run defense is pretty good. Ranking in the top ten, I’m sure they will give Addai, Brown, and maybe the Colts O-line some trouble.

 

5.) The Titans are desperate.

The Titans have nothing to lose in this game. At 0-4, they will stop at nothing to win this game. They will most likely pull out trick plays and other stunts to try to throw off the Colts. I also expect the Titans to throw quite a few screens, draws, onside kicks, etc. Hopefully, the Colts will treat this game like a playoff match and crush the Titans. Thus making their bye week after so much sweeter.

Nice post.

Look forward to your future pre game analysis. Loved the pic of Lendale the fat sucker towel stomper.

Thanks for the analysis - nice summary

Now get back to class!!! ;-)

How can you not love a team that does this?

In his defense,

he said he is in class, but just not paying attention/not working on what he is supposed to work on.

Nice job.

Love the pics.
The Titans are desperate that’s for sure, kinda scary. But… I just can’t see their D stopping Peyton. Not going to happen. I like cliches so here’s one, We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
I have a feeling the Colts and Peyton are going to be fired up for this one! Go Colts!

As long as we have Peyton we will always have a chance to win.

Johnson concerns me, too

…but I think this kind of test on the ground is great for the Colts right now. For my money, the Colts look like the best team in the league so far, so putting them up against conceivably a nightmare matchup for the defense is a great barometer on if our run defense is good enough to hold up against Mendenhall, Sproles, Tomlinson, et al. that we might run into come playoff time.

Kerry Collins

is back playing his usual level. Last season was the unusual. Now he’s back to his usual self, fumbling the ball and throwing interceptions at the same rate as TDs.

My only worry is their desperation. Never now what that does to a team.
They might be going for injuring Colts players. Me don’t like.

Good pic of Fatbay.

Yeah, it's a great job until that point." - Jim Sorgi

lol, true

Collins sucks, period.

About their desperation, its a concern definetely, but I dont see them injuring our guys. No more Haynesworthless there

question.......

why does payton deny his older brother? is it a family scandal type deal? or is he just that much of an asshole that he can’t acknowledge his own brother… TV’s Herman Munster?!?!?!??!

Why are you not capable of spelling his name correctly?

And just an FYI, Peyton wears #18 for his brother, Cooper. It was Cooper’s number in high school.

Anymore questions? USE GOOGLE.

He was joking about Peyton and Herman Monster being brothers because of the whole five head thing, lol. It was nothing against Cooper.

I think the guy took offense at my Peyton fear this picture.

So he’s using humor to fight back. But It’s really kind of childish.

I'd rather they joke about his forehead

(and we can draw the logical conclusions regarding enhanced brain size), than to hear them joking about him, say, wearing a skirt or married to a dog-faced supermodel…

i heard that colt (cunt) fans were full of themselves… clearly an understatement. i like spelling paytun er um paytin ahhh dangit… payton! (that’s right) a.k.a billboard dome name incorrectly. gives me a kick. as far as an honest critique? he’s slow as hell… without ANY athletic ability. he has an arm, but more so… he had marvin harrison, and he had coach dungy. so the guy weighs what…. 280 290? at least 50 pounds of that is head. and you would think if a guy’s head weighed that much… he wouldn’t need a helmet.

crybaby.......

When you’re obviously not coming back on to the field, I’m saying like the last thirty seconds of the game where the winning team is just taking a knee to run the clock, you’re sposed to take your helmet off, Peyton, just like the rest of your offensive unit. That includes the post-game handshakes and everything. Thing about Peyton is he keeps his helmet on because he doesn’t want the cameras to see that he’s blatantly crying. He has no problem walking up and down the sidelines with his big dome swinging during the game… Or throwing on the championship hat when he wins. If you’re gonna cry, Peyton, at least cry like a man! Like… Terrell Owens.

about a game between Tennessee and the Colts?

Really, is there? I mean, of course, besides just being assholes for the fun of it…

You guys certainly talk alot of smack for fans of a team that hasn’t gone above .500 EVER.

They're just upset because

their team has about as much chance of beating Peyton as …….me jetskiing on the rings of Saturn. So they’re resorting to anything they can think of. That’s what pimply, adolescent kids do with a computer and the internet. By the way, every chick I know thinks Peyton is the bomb. I wish I could get my forehead to look like his…..I’d have every chick on the planet.
