Made some plays vs the pass as well. I didn't see Lee in the second half which I was a bit surprised about as he looked good. I thought Adams was a bit off in coverage at times but still solid and James looked as good as he did in preseason. Apart from the one Murray run when James was sidelined, there were very few big plays. Really decent performance by the D. Really liked what I saw from Vanderdoes.

If we can have a decent outing against Tennessee's run game, we can stop the run against anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessie Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Good win, Titans will beat good teams. Defense really stepped up. Lee looked good from what I saw. Lynch, Cook, Newhouse, Patterson all made plays. Tavecchio might have ended Seabass Raiders career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNBlackFan Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 If we can be decent against the run like that, this defense will be much improved. That was a really good running team we limited today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, same thing. Carr put it in a spot where Jackson had an easier time getting his hand in there. Third was deflected so I don't think you can call that a drop the ball had to be high IMO on the 1st one, the one defender was inches away from getting his hands on the pass as it was. Coop has to catch that. 2nd one, whatever good D, but an elite WR makes that catch. 3rd one, it was tipped sure but you have to make that catch. Overall, disappointing 3 plays for him. But he made a number of good plays throughout the game. We try to make him a redzone reciever, but that isnt his role on this team. let him do what he does best. throw to Crab in the redzone or run with Lynch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have caught it but I'm fine with him not. 1 minute ago, BackinBlack said: 2nd one, whatever good D, but an elite WR makes that catch. The only smaller receivers I could see making that catch are Brown and OBJ...and they're top 3 guys. Coop isn't there yet. But maybe that's what you mean. Maybe Baldwin or Landry but thats a tough one. That's an Evans/Julio/Green catch, which you mention later. 3 minutes ago, BackinBlack said: 3rd one, it was tipped sure but you have to make that catch. Oh. Well ok then.

Of course, everyone has our tape now but it goes both ways. Overall, good performance from the defense. Only 3 runs that got away from us including 2 from Maroita and hardly anyone will stop those 100% of the time. If we can get Conley back and tighten our zone drops and reactions we can be even better. Having Pagano focus on that should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can put him on the shiftiest/fastest receiver and it'll make a world of a difference on 3rd donw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol dont know how to get it too show both our posts haha, but i guess my feelings for the tipped drop on 3rd, after dropping the first two, it wouldve been great to see him make up for it. I know it was great instincts to get his hands on the ball, but, it Coop makes that catch 9/10 i think. Just think he was in his head at the point.

Jerry Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I was off on the score and Mack's production but I think that was due to all the holding that wasn't called and Mariota's ability to move around the pocket. Our defense played great. We were able to buckle down and keep them from getting into the end zone after their very first drive. Our LB played great as well. I remember people talking about K. Joseph's ability to cover, he made a big play in the corner of the end zone today. The guy can play. I really feel like we played more to control the clock than trying to score 40+ points today. Overall solid performance! Onto next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
