That's a pretty devastating stat for Titans fans to look at when you look at the RB group as pass catchers for Tom.

FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | 2017 DEFENSE EFFICIENCY RATINGS

That's a pretty devastating stat for Titans fans to look at when you look at the RB group as pass catchers for Tom.

And 24th against TE's. Interestingly, Pitt is the top rated team against TEs and Gronk killed them in the 4th quarter. The rest of the contenders:
Vikes - 2nd
Saints - 6th
Patriots - 8th
Falcons - 14th
Iggles - 17th
Jags - 20th

Vikes were also the top team against receiving RBs. Here's how the rest of the field looks:

Iggles - 1oth
Saints - 12th
Jags - 15th
Steelers - 23rd
Falcons - 21st
Pats - 22nd

Get ready for the Deion Lewis (and James White and Rex Burkehead, if they can go) show!

Nah, they'll do something completely unexpected like get 3 TDs throwing to (looks at magic 8 ball) Pillip Dorsett? Sure why not!

Between that and Brady looking like he's on a mission starting today, I'm going to start looking into some player prop bets for Saturday's game.

"32nd against pass catching RB's...

...excellent."

 

[Kontradiction]

They should have even more room to operate since I don’t see anyone on that defense that can cover Gronk which means they will be doubling him early and often.

sounds like a good game for burkhead/lewis/white. they seem weak against the Tight ends as well.

Kelce was eating them up prior to getting a concussion.

.....damn, if only we had the RBs to exploit that weakness.......................................................

Hahah.

I get that anything can happen and the pats need to play well, but that’s a real bad sign for the Titans.

Peter King and his doofus analysis was raving about 31 year old wesley woodyard. Tenn will try to plan and it’s swing passes to the rbs all night and delayed draws out of the shotgun as well for brady and company.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that a team starting Jonathan Cyprien struggles against tight ends, but I did think Wesley Woodyard was better than that against running backs. His tackles are way up from past seasons, but coverage ability has slipped.

Lewis will chew them up like catnip

I really wanted the Pats to draft Woodyard in the late rounds in 2008 - and was really disappointed that the Broncos snagged him as a UDFA.

Fixed it for you.

All Hands on deck for PitsDirt, I hope.

Anyone been reading the Titans messageboards? These people are going to be very disappointed come Saturday night. They're rivaling Jets fans for delusion levels.

Basically, they are gushing over all the anti-Pats rhetoric on all the talk shows and taking it as a gospel.

They're ignoring the facts and actually are thinking they're team is a playoff team, as opposed to one that eeked in there.

It's very strange. Our approach would be something like this:

"it will take a perfect game and the opponent would need to play poorly.."

If anyone is disrespecting the Pats, it's the Titans and their fans.

Apparently, we've played the whole year with our A Squad for 16 games, have the worst D in the league, Brady is done, the weather favors Hawaii-born Mariota, and just because, it's the Titans time.
