T-Rac Wrap: Week 2

September 23rd, 2009 by Rogersworthe | No Comments | Filed in T-Rac Wrap

Well I am finally over the depression the loss to the Texans had caused. THis is coming in a day late, but here it is anyways. So, lets recap some games:

NY Jets 16 New England 9: Jets defense holds Patriots offense to 3 field goals and gets just enough to inch past New England. All of a sudden we are seriously staring 0-3 in the face. Wonderful.

New Orleans 48 Philadelphia 22: Taking advantage of a missed start by Donovan McNabb and a defense that didn’t look so good after dismantling Carolina, New Orleans once again puts up 40+ points. This has got to be one of the best offenses ever.

Washington 9 St. Louis 7: Holy crap this game was boring. 9-7? Geeez…

Arizona 31 Jacksonville 17: I’m surprised that the Jags couldn’t use their homefield advantage to keep this closer.

Oh. Nevermind.

Posse Review: Titans vs. Texans Week 2

September 21st, 2009 by Rogersworthe | No Comments | Filed in Posse Review
Kerry fails once again late in the game

Kerry fails once again late in the game

And I thought the Steelers game hurt. The 2009 Titans, the team that can’t finish a game. Problem is, this time it wasn’t against the returning champs. We can’t pretend that there was actually a lot of good to take away from this game. We have nothing good to take away from this game, because the one good thing, Chris Johnson is really fast and the Texans are retarded, are things we knew already. So… let me try to get through this and recap this shit.

Permanent Problems

  • Nick Harper: I think the Titans secondary can recover and play better, but Nick Harper is who he is. Slow and small with no ability to cover man on man. At best we have to run bubble zones with him. That doesn’t work without a beast of a pass rush, and we have not received that. Mouton needs to develop quickly.
  • Ball Control: We haven’t helped our defense on offense by holding the ball and having long drives. Against Houston, we either went 3 and out or Chris Johnson scored a 60 yard touchdown. We only had one sustained drive (where Nate Washington got the touchdown on the fade route). This is bad. Some sort of identity and stability must be found. Frankly, as weird as this sounds, I think LenDale needs a bit more playing time, especially once we obtain a lead.
  • Dumb Penalties: 2 weeks in a row count’s as a trend when it is 1/8th of your season. We can’t keep getting penalties in big spots.
  • Turnovers: Have to stop, have to stop, have to stop.
  • Defensive Line: They are talented and at times show some great skill, but they aren’t dominant like in past years. Now, I don’t think it’s a huge problem, but the Titans have to recognize what they are at D-Line and adjust accordingly.

“Opponent” Bashing Saturday: Houston Texans

September 19th, 2009 by Spizz | 2 Comments | Filed in Houston Texans, Opponent Bashing

It’s time once again for the weekly opponent bash post, in which I point out the myriad of reasons our opponent this week sucks. This week I almost feel bad. Making fun of the Texans is kind of like going to an elementary school and punching the nerdiest kid you can find in the balls (which is a lot less satisfying that it sounds). Anyways, on with the hate:

  • We stole your good football team and you replaced it with a shitty one.
  • The Texans are 3-11 all time against the Titans. Seven years in our division and they’re only beaten us thrice (really wanted to squeeze that word in somehow). One of those victories was a meaningless one last year, one was the year we went 5-11, and the third one I think we just forfeited to be nice. Poor little guys.
  • Worst. Name. Ever. The Houston Texans? How unoriginal can you get? I mean, your logo is a damn bull, why not run with that? Jeebus.
  • These guys:

    They get at least 20 seconds of screen time every year when we play them at Houston, and the joke just keeps getting funnier.

Posse Preview Week 2: Titans vs. Texans

September 18th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | No Comments | Filed in Posse Preview

This game is huge. I know it’s only week 2. I know that the Texans looked like the Cleveland Browns. But that can all change this week if they come out blasting. We can’t lose this game. That being said, lets preview this game.

I hope we see a lot of this on Sunday. Except with rain everywhere.

I hope we see a lot of this on Sunday. Except with rain around it.

Strengths for the Titans

  • Controlling the Line of Scrimmage: The Titans Offensive Line held serve against the mighty, mighty Steelers. They have got to be licking their chops for this game because not only should they hold serve here, they should dominate. The “New and improved” Houston Defensive Line looked like it always does. Mario Williams either gets a sack or the Quarterback has 7 seconds to throw. They got no penetration and were usually a yard or more back from the line of scrimmage on Jets running plays. Mark Sanchez looked like everything I thought he wouldn’t be. What a dick. Anyways, the Titans will own up front on offense. I see the same for defense. I do not think the Jets have a better pass rush than the Titans do, and if I am right it means they’ll be all up in Schaub’s face all day. And they will need to be, because if not… Andre Johnson. Need I say more?
  • Running the ball: Chris Johnson and Lendale White combined should average 4.5 yards a carry. If not, something is wrong.
  • Passing the ball: I expect efficiency out of the passing game as well. In brief moments they showed some flex in the Steelers game, but nothing sustained. Forgivable against Pittsburgh, not against the Texans.

Lando’s Hotties and Fuglies: Week 2

September 16th, 2009 by Lando | No Comments | Filed in Fantasy Football

Man…. what a week.

The only thought running through my head three quarters into the Green Bay-Chicago game this past Sunday was “someone shoot me in the groin… please.”  Titans lose by 3, favorite college team loses by 3, and my fantasy team was only up by 3 and my studs were sucking it up.  Then came the Aaron Rodgers touchdown to Greg Jennings and I was hooting and hollering like a lunatic.  I wound up winning this week, but at a huge cost.  This weekend aged me terribly, and I now suffer from self-inflicted male pattern baldness.  But that is why I love football, and that is why I love fantasy.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  It is impossible to predict who will have a good week and who will not(unless you are ruggedly good looking and part human part horse.)  But that is what my purpose in life is.  To supply you with names of players who will do well, and who won’t.  And last week I did… about average.  Some guys went off, some guys didn’t.  But you should trust a winner.  And I am indeed a winner.  And you WILL follow my advice, because that is the way of the world.

Hotties:

  • Peyton Manning: This is only a crush still.  Nothing like AP and Drew Brees last week.  But he is looking at a Miami secondary that allowed Matt Ryan to floss their faces.  Plus there’s something adorable about his mongoloid look.
  • Aaron Rodgers: Might be a tad biased, but I am liking this guy more and more.  Once he shaved the molestache off he put up solid numbers against a surprisingly good Chicago defense.  He’s also going up against the Orange Asian Tigers, who’s defense has more holes in it than Shia Labeouf’s hit movie.
  • Adrian Peterson: Once again, this is looking like another bromantic week for Killer Croc(my nickname for him after I saw that weird Nike commercial 24 times.)  He’s facing off against a TERRIBLE Detroit team.  Drew Brees threw for 6 TDs last week, funny part being three of those he threw left handed.  That’s how bad this team really is.
  • Clinton Portis:  Looking good heading into this week against St. Louis.  If he doesn’t score 15 points then we’ll know how terrible the Redskins really are.
  • Reggie Wayne: Must be nice being the only target Peyton has to go to.  Guy put up great numbers last week, and same as Peyt he’s playing against Miami.  Only two words to describe this attractive performance: man-handling.
  • Andre Johnson:  He’s already sent the invites out for a post game 200 yard game celebration.  I hate to say it, but the Titans don’t have anyone who can cover him.  Finnegan is too short, and we all know Nick Harper is going to stay in a cover 2 zone in the flats.  Damn he looks good.
