    The fire and intensity that was lost once Bulluck left, is finally back, led by Captain Finny.

    It's just so damn awesome to see our defensive guys flying around, playing with passion again, something that just wasn't there when Bulluck left, because Bulluck was a foundation and a true team captain, and you need that to have a good defense. And Finny has filled those very big shoes of being that guy.

    I once said Finny is the Ron Artest of the NFL for playing annoying defense and getting under opponents' skin, scratch that, he's now the Kevin Garnett of the NFL, that captain that is vocal and rallys the troops and will grab you by the jersey and yank you in the huddle if he sees you're not paying attention.

    Big kudos also to the whole new staff and Jerry Gray. It's obvious the new staff has brought a new whole new attitude that was lacking the past 2 years.

    Why did it take so long for Jason Jones to play DE...

    Oh look, we actually blitz now, the wonders it can do.

    Oh, and Michael Griffin... who's our most talented defensive player but doesn't look like he even wants to be out there at times, if only he can return to 08 status... and on that note, so we have both our best offensive and defensive player not playing well and not only are we 3-1, but this is maybe the best Titans team we've had since McNair's MVP year, so when CJ and Griffin return to elite status, watch out...

    Lol just wait intill we take a L everyone will talk about how sorry the defense is and etc... Yeah were 3-1 right nw but could easily be 2-2 luckily which is still pretty decent. Our only two dominating wins were against the ravens and a sry browns team. Hopefully we dont break down like we did last yr after what? A 5-1? A 5-2 start.

    Great thread Geronimo! Couldn't agree more.

    Like you pointed out, we're sitting at 3-1 and that's with CJ and Griffin at less than 100%. I'm getting flashbacks of the 13-3 season but only this time we have a QB who can close and lead us all the way. We've got a lot to be excited about.

    We could be just as easily a 4-0 team. I can't wait to play the Jags again!

    Now if this comment was made that this team isn't nowhere near the 2008 defense it might have some validity but putting "as a whole" in there makes it pretty misinformed.

    The QB, WRs and TEs are far superior to the 2008 team.

    Everyone seems to be playing with a spark. Will Witherspoon I've noticed most- as far as a difference goes. Seems like he got about 5 years younger over the offseason.

    I agree with a lot of you, Spoon' has looked revived. Let's not over look the impact that Barrett Ruud has made, I knew that was a huge pick up for us and was over looked by all of the talking heads. As usual health will be the key, but this defense can and will get better in my opionon.
