Titans game: Winners and Losers

Post by Irn-Bru »

Who are your winners and losers from the Titans game? Mine:

Winners

Chase Minnefield - Showed flashes of greatness, but what really set him apart from our other young DBs was how solid his play was. Great support defending the run.

Fred Davis - He's back, baby.

Kirk Cousins - On track to be a starter somewhere in the NFL. I love watching this kid play.


Losers

Bacarri Rambo - Welcome to the NFL, son.

Desmond Briscoe - Is it just me or did he look like he didn't even want to be out on the field? With a crowded WR corps, it's looking like there is no chance he makes on the final roster — I wouldn't be surprised to see him go in one of the early round of cuts.

Josh LeReibus - He got owned by 2nd and 3rd stringers and at times appeared lost. Not a good sign for someone who seemed to have some promise.

I also thought Rex Grossman was a winner and Pat White only maintained his position. I was surprised to see a thread on THN today saying the opposite . . .

:lol:

I was one of the people who said that Chase would be contributing well for us, otherwise the team wouldn't have carried him on the roster while he healed up. He played much better than EJ Biggers did in my view.

He reminds me of Carlos Rogers without the apparent clubbed hands.
SPIT HAPPENS!!

We love controversy

RGIII or Capt. Kirk as the starter....

Cousins or RG3int as RGIII's backup...

and now RG3int or P. White as the #3

I thought Aldrick Robinson ran much crisper routes than he did last year. Now he just needs to learn to catch the ball.

I don't know about the crisper routes, but I definitely said Paul needed to learn to catch. :lol:

I think we need to add another category:

Schooled

Bacarri Rambo

Welcome to the NFL Bacarri. I like this kid and think he will be great for us over time. He learned a great lesson Thursday night!

Who else should we add to the 'Schooled' category?

LOL! Eat up, people...

for many, Chase will be one of the very pleasant surprises this year... but, not to me... :wink:

Then Orakpo needs to be a the top of that list for that same play. He was the primary person responsible for giving up that 58 yard CJ2K run. He ran right past Johnson.

Yes Rambo got schooled, but his schooling was like high school and Orakpo went to post graduate school on that play.

The refs need to go back to school too.

A late hit "out of bounds" can't start on the field of play. Two terrible late hit penalties (one on the Titans and one on Rambo).

Nah, both were reasonable calls, that would be made more times than not. But the refs did have a terrible night, particularly with the instant replay. They got both reviews wrong, and both benefitted the Titans.

To be fair to Bacarri Rambo Chris Johnson has done that to many DBs. Honestly if Chris Johnson is back to CJ2k form then most Dbs will lose that matchup one on one.

I obviously am rooting for Rambo to get better. If not we have plenty of talent now I think. Amerson almost had an interception as well.

I thought David Amerson played well for his first game. Does anyone know who the D-Tackle that kept getting his hands up and batting the ball down? Not sure it was the same guy, but it happen two or times in the third or fourth quarter.

If we really want to be fair to Rambo, we could point out that Orakpo was out of position and was the reason Rambo had to face CJ 1-on-1 in the open field in the first place.

He couldn't make up his mind as between quarterback and ball carrier, choosing, apparently, neither. And if we want to be fair to Orakpo, both Nield and Bowen getting blocked down and to the defenses left, didn't help make that hole any smaller either. So the reason CJ vs. Rambo happened was a front seven failure.
I know he got a pretty good zip on the ball. He has a quick release. . . once I seen a coupla' throws, I was just like 'Yeah, he's that dude.'"

Absolutely... undisciplined play by the front 7 resulted in that play... Rambo should never have been in that position.

Fortunately, that is a Preseason type of failure... it will be corrected before the Regular season.

Thre is entirely too much analysis and common sense on this page. It's not right.

We're screwed at FS! Our only hope is Tanard Jackson.

BTW... the biggest winner... IMO... was Chase Minnefield. He is now in play for significant time... and will only get better as he adjusts to NFL speed.

I agree 100%. And I love that he was, too. I also wasn't discouraged by Amerson or Rambo, I'm hopeful that our defensive backfield situation isn't nearly as bleak as feared this year.

Or

Minnifield will blow out his knee! Amerson is overrated! Ramno got achooled by chris johnson, hes garbage! London fletcher will break all his old bones! (Better CLL?)
