    He's really coming along. No sacks yet this season, but he's been collapsing the pocket regularly and making his presence known. His upside is tremendous.

    Unrelated to Hunt, but it looks like Burfict will be out this weekend. I'm hoping the Bengals D will still have a strong showing, but this is a bigger deal than most people realize.

    It's Nuke, not Newt. Women don't get wooley. They get weary. Got I hate when people get the words wrong.

    I don't think so considering they said they wanted to make Romo throw it (meaning they were gearing up to stop the run to make them pass). Bad run fits will shred a 3-4 D...and we saw it happen. Add in poor tackling, and you get dominated on the ground! Despite all the bad, there were some good run d plays, but too overshadowed by the many many plays we did NOT make!

    Its not that, it's the poor run fits that are killing us and then when we do have a good fit we blow the tackle! When we have the proper run fits and TACKLE, we are capable of holding the best RB's in the league (Charles). When we don't, we can get shredded (Murray).

    Also, this was a team defeat. The offense basically hung the defense out to dry by not doing anything the first half except kick the ball back to Dallas!

    Burfict out could be huge for the Titans run game!

    And it's not just 'stopping' the run, it's how many guys do you need to committ to stop it. If you can stop the run with both S's back, you're in excellent shape. If you need 8 in the box to play 'even' then you're susceptible to play action and have less pass coverage.....which is how guys like Smith and Dalton excel. When Smith didn't have Charles to lean on and set up the easier throws, Smith didn't play very!

    This is not an easy game for either team. Dalton is a good QB and Bernard is a very good shifty RB. If the Titans are not in their gaps and don't tackle well, they will gash us often!

    Titans D needs to set the tone from the beginning.

    Bengals injuries and perhaps overconfidence (what the Titans were last week) will give the Titans a chance. Considering the lack of first half offensee, our D kept us in it so we could close to within 6 pts. That's not bad considering we were completely outplayed in the first half last weekend!

    I think Dexter McCluster and Wright will be keys to the game. McCluster is open a LOT out of the backfield and Jake has struggled to connect with him. That needs to change Sunday.
