    DangerMode's analysis was spot on. Once the titans established the run game, the Game slowed down for Mariotta, and the team took control of the game. Unfortunately, turnovers, penalties, and blown coverages are the stuff of blowouts, and traits of a young team. The titans could use some help in the secondary (with the return of McCourty, that could help).

    But, the chief thing is to get Womack healthy and teach Mariotta to get that ball out on passing plays. He will have to take more chances with his throws, or run the WR's open by moving the pocket more(surprised they didn't do more roll outs and bootlegs yesterday to help neutralize the blitzes).

    I think we have a QB, now the titans need to sure up the secondary and scheme to hide the weaknesses of a rookie QB and accentuate his strengths.

    Field position was a huge issue this game. Against Tampa we were regularly starting drives near mid field, this game our average starting spot was at our 19-yard line... With major holes on the O-Line you cant score when you make them march 81-yards down field...

    For us to score points we need our returners getting us in good starting field position... We cant have Sankey always taking a knee, or McCluster fair catching at our 11... Special teams hurt us bad this game.

    There were two passes to Fasano, and one to Coffman I believe were very catchable. Yes, Mariota led them a bit too much, but those plays were for big yards and could have changed the game. In another thread I said the Titans wouldn't miss Delanie in this one. I have one response to that:
    /slaps head and bellows D'OH! to echo throughout the universe.

    Yup, but Walker may not have hauled those passes in either. They were solid throws but were either too far ahead or a little behind the receiver. Mariota is usually able to throw guys open so they can gain yards after the catch.

    I have a saying; "if you can touch it you can catch it", but all 3 of those throws were off..

    So are you agreeing or not? I suspect we will see many, many blitzes in the coming weeks. Both lines SUCKED. Didn't fix anything in the second half. The brownies just didn't run that many plays...when they did we didn't stop them.

    A way to beat blitzes are screens but we have always been a terrible screen team
