    Actually the tackling isn't that bad except for our Ss.

    Exactly. Because he's our ONLY pass-rusher.

    Our entire defense sucks. Actually, our pass D is worse than our rush D.

    Bad Stats:

    Total Defense Yards: 31st (473 ypg)
    Points Allowed: 32nd (37.7 ppg)
    Total Passing Yards: 30th (312.7 ypg)
    Passing TDs allowed: 31st (8)
    20+ Passing Yard Plays: 29th (13)
    Sacks: T-18th (6)
    Opposing QB Rating: 32nd (119.0)
    Total Rushing Yards: 29th (150.3 ypg)
    Interceptions: T-22 (1)

    Good Stats:
    4 Rushing TDs allowed (T-6th best in the league)
    only have allowed 1 40+ pass, the hailmary
    0 20+ rushing yards allowed, best in the league
    0 40+ rushing yards allowed, best in the league
    4 FF (T-3 in the league)

    So on the stats, it looks like we'll give up the 10 yard gain... but won't allow the deep stuff. CBs need to move up and we need to get after the QB.

    Verner/Mouton are both physical, press/stuff the WRs and BLITZ. Scoot the safeties up, on TEs/Deep Balls. C'mon man.

    Five pages in and barely any talk of the bad DT play. I think that's a huge part of why the Titans can't stop the run.

    Obviously bringing Haynesworth back will never happen, but this team badly needs someone in the middle to be a force like he once was. Next year's first round pick?

    I've been disappointed w/ Casey, Klug, and Marks (injured).. they all looked solid in pre-season. What happened?

    Shame on you. You had expectations.

    Casey may get it going once he's fully healthy, those other two aren't that good.

    A wise man once said:
    "Personally, I didn't watch 1 second of the preseason, as it has nothing to do with the regular season except for personnel purposes. I'm interested in seeing on how good/bad the D line will be. They were awful last year. I have no faith in Morgan/Marks. And I will continue that way until they prove to be consistent. Maybe wimbley will pick up some slack, because both O and D line were awful last year.

    As for now, all bets are off, preseason is history for every team, and it means nothing to every team."

    "One who puts stock in the preseason will soon be bankrupt."

    We have this same revelation every regular season: That the preseason isn't worth anything, all the accomplishments are for naught. But yet, every preseason, a large part of fans from every team garner false hopes/gripes from the preseason.
