JLocker10 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Charles final stat line: 7 car 19 yards 0 TD 4 rec 15 yards 0 TD 34 total yards. I would've figured Charles would have 34 yards by the first drive. Great job by Horton and co. Tackling was much better. Heck of a job containing Charles. This team has a ways to go, but a great first win. No one gave us much of a chance to beat the Chiefs at their place in the home opener. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terradawg Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 i never thought we would hold him to anything remotely close to that. hell of a job by the defense today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansGuru Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 This defense looked good all around today. Of course, Dallas will present more of a challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonboy Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 We did well against him, but I'm still stunned the Chiefs just totally went away from him. Even in the passing game, they didn't really try to get him involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the passing game, they didn't really try to get him involved. So was I, they really didn't even try to get him involved much in the offense. He only had 11 touches the entire game, who would have picked our defense over Charles in FFB today? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WG53 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 It had more to do with their playcalling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiler FANatic Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 It had more to do with their playcalling. You're right, it's not like he was totally ineffective early on. I kept wondering when the game was still close why they weren't trying to give him the ball more, he's their whole offense basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 It was a hell of a great job on a Pro Bowl RB. Still though I will temper my enthusiasm at this point. The KC offensive line is in a horrible state right now. Also the WRs for KC are terrible which makes it easier to load up against the run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 That stat line reminds me of Jamal Lewis' stat line in the 03 playoff game against the Ravens. He'd just finished up his 2,000 yard season and we held him to 35 yards rushing on 14 carries in that game. Gunther Cunningham FTW! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Chiefs were 1/12 on third down conversions. Just the opposite of preseason for the defense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'll be more impressed if the Titans can stop the Cowboys running game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number9 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Was KC responding to the defensive sets and the way they played Charles? I have to give the Titans credit for going in and having a defense designed to stop Charles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcibiades Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I think it was a smart move to go away from Charles. BUT, they tried to force it to Avery, which was stupid. Using Charles as a decoy could have been really smart, but no one else stepped up. Our defense looked VERY good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using Charles as a decoy could have been really smart, but no one else stepped up. Our defense looked VERY good. What? Charles accounts for 37% of their total yards from scrimmage on offense and is basically their entire offense. By going away from him early they became more predictable and were much easier to defend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
