    My only concern with this game is the match up of their big WRs against our depleted secondary. If Winston has time, he WILL find some wide open WRs running down the field.

    However, I think Dick Lebeau will be able to cover this weakness with our pass rush/blitz packages ... The TB OL has looked very shaky so far, and Winston is a rookie. Dick Lebeau is known for his confusing looks. If we can disguise what our D is doing, and bring the pressure on Winston then I think he will struggle a lot.

    Mariota may take a couple of drives to get comfortable, but I think he will be able to move the ball and put up some points for us.

    HOWEVER, anyone that thinks this game will be the deciding factor on who got the better QB is an idiot. Its ONE game, its their 1st game ... I don't care how good/bad either look, it really means nothing in the long run.


    My Prediction:

    Mariota with a solid outing - 225 yards passing, 2TDs 1 int. 40 yards rushing

    Titans 27 - 13

    If our OL can not block anyone and give Mariota time to throw, it's going to be a long day. I can see this as a low scoring game if that were to happen.

    That last part is certainly believable.

    Man I really wish he'd pull it together and not be a huge bust...

    Hunter is terrible. They seriously need to move on from him...

    Brave...I'm with you. I keep praying he pulls it together, but dude, he is getting schooled by 2nd and 3rd string dudes. It's really bad.

    Without the coaches film its hard to say with 100% certainty, but it appears as if we're using Hunter as a decoy mostly in the 1st half. He's regularly taking the Safeties for a ride while clearing out the underneath area for Wright and Nicks..

    The Houston sack on Mariota could be pinned on Hunter, either he or Nicks ran the same route to the same spot, tend to think its Hunter who messed up but I dont know the play call.

    In the 3rd quarter Hunter burns a DB gets open then mett throws it way high and behind Hunter. If they connect its probably a 10-yard pass Hunter could take 50 to the endzone, but Mett messed that one up...

    Later in that same drive Mett tries deep for hunter but Hunter cant reach it, hes covered but Mett forces it as he does often, making Hunter look bad.

    very next play Mett hits Hunter on a 9-yard out, Hunter bobbles it and drops it. Thats really his first mistake I noticed last game..

    Mett and Hunter open the 4th quarter on a deep pass, DB sneaks his hand in to knock it away.... Mett could have done better job leading Hunter (he had to slow down a lot to adjust)..

    Take all that for all its worth (not much)

    Im still hopeful he can pull it together
