We are playing with two rooks on defense, Cushing and Glover Quin. At least Kubiak is honest when he says we have not reached the level of consistancy that he would like to see. All of us hope we continue to become more consistant.

I will say this one more time about our offense, we need to Pass to set up the run. Utilizing Slaton on screens and check downs is more effective than handing the ball off to him because of our O-Line. Having Chester Pitts out of action is going to make a bad running attack worse. I know we love to use play-action to buy time and get deep, and we can still do that from time to time. However, if we want to keep the chains moving - the I-Formation hasn't been doin much to that end.

Well I hope they get off their high horses quick because the defense stunk. We got another one of the top RBs in the league next week in Maurice Jones Drew to worry about. I know I dont want him slashing and dashing through our defense like a JV game.

I'm holding out hope the defense we saw in the second half is a sign of things to come. Except for that ridiculous TD run by Johnson to start the half, where inexplicably no one was within 10 yards of the middle of the field, they played pretty well and shut the Titans down that half. The pass play to Johnson in the first half was clearly a busted assignment. However, there's no excuse for it and I agree the D and Bush need to show improvement. The O - and the usual Collins bonehead play of the day - saved their ass yesterday.

Whew, 1-1, that was one exciting game, hi's, low's , and a win in the end. We won the turnover battle. We had AJ, OD, JJ receiving big passes from MS, nice to see. Our guys definitely played their heart out, played tough, were motivated, and were not about to give in to Titans attemped intimidation, they played the whole 60 minutes. MW and BC looked good on defense and the last 5 defensive series our D looked very good. While Schaub got hit, he was never sacked, so improvements seen. Sure, plenty improvements still to be made, but its coming, I think we do have the depth to get better. And perhaps coaching is getting flexible in its thinking so it can make adjustmets during the game, all nice things to see. And its the kind of win that makes a team start to believe they are a team and help each other, trust each other, know each other.

Definitely no high horse here. Just a win in a league that doesn't care about syle points either way.

After the game, Kubiak didn't sound a whole lot different than he did last week. "Very concerned" was the key point of his interview response. Hell, from what I heard on the radio, they didn't even get the day off today. Regarding the game, save for a couple of bonehead plays, I thought the defense actually faired decent. I think that Britt kid could give us some fits in the years to come, and there is really not too much else to say about C Johnson. Man, that dude is quick. We have GOT to get the 3rd down thing fixed, that is madening. Offense - A+++, nice air job, + they should them enough in the running game to give them something to think about. It wasn't working, but they kept plugging at it, and it opened up the play action. As Roy said earlier, throwing to set up the pass may not be a bad direction, especially since we are now 1 starting guard down for the next 4-6 weeks. Games like this make me look forward to Sunday! 6 days to go!

As a matter of fact it was Pitts who looked bad, when he pulled for the screen. He not only let his man come free without so much as a chip block but he ran into Duane which led Bart Scott to have a free hit on Slaton. If we want our run game to be more effective we are gonna have to show that we are an elite passing team. We must keep defenses honest. Especially after Slaton's 3 fumbles.
