1) Titans are a really solid team. Their QB play is mediocre, but they play great defense and really fancy offensive playcalling.
2) The Jets are a very similar team to the Titans. They’re going to run the ball, Gase will use lots of pre-snap movement, and they’ll dink-and-dunk to touchdowns. On defense, well, it’s Gregg, so get ready for more exotic blitzes.
3) I always thought these first two games would be difficult. I’m not at all surprised we lost today and won’t be if we lose next week. The teams have offenses that are strong where our defense is weak and their defenses blitz, which hurts our O-line.
4) With that said, I am fairly surprised how badly we lost. It felt like the team - including Baker - totally quit after Tennessee went up 22-13.
5) @The Human Q-Tip taljed about this all summer, but our linebackers’ tackling is arguably as big of an issue as our offensive line. Schobert is great in coverage, but as soon as someone catches the ball, he’s too slow to make an impact. Kirksey tries hard but that’s it... Titans carved us up in the middle of the field.
6) I actually thought Ward was underwhelming today. I saw that people said it was the zone scheme, but that’s wrong IMO, it just looked like he was unprepared.
Overall, my guess is a bad matchup combined with some arrogance from months of hype, and we got what we saw today. I just hope that, if we lose next week, people stay somewhat level-headed. This team will be totally fine as the season progresses. There is just too much talent.
