Mythos27 Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 I get that it's just preseason but at the same time, if the defense had come out and looked like hot garbage there wouldn't be many saying "let's withhold judgement". Obviously it's no guarantee of anything but it's ok to say they appear to trending in the right direction. Btw, if the defense sucks you're going to be pissed/disappointed regardless of whether you got your hopes up or not so why not think positively when you at least have some data that would support it?

CardsDingus Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Specifically, how does the Titan's secondary look? Again- I'm the visiting Cardinal fan on the page- our offense was garbage in 9 pre-season snaps, but I'm hopeful that was just lack of real motivation and not showing anything. The Cardinals have some weapons.. DHop is obvious, but reports are that AJ Green is the AJ Green of old, and rookie WR Rondale Moore has flashed consistently. That's essentially our hope, and that Kyler doesn't get himself blown up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're one the few I actually believe. Henry could literally die in week 1 of the preseason and you'd be like "He'll rise again"! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere in between. I expect us to be very stout up front particularly vs the run, average at rushing the passer, and slightly above average in pass coverage. The secondary is the hardest to group to project though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than last year, but that bar is so low it’s underground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnasty Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 For all those sayings it’s just preseason: we’ve seen on numerous occasions that concerns during the preseason bleed over into the regular season, some recent examples: Mariotas inability to play Oline ineffectiveness defense ineffectiveness I’m not ready to say we’re the 2000 defense but it looks like we’re headed in the right direction Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I realize we were playing "if" guys trying to decide the final cuts. I guess Simmons just wanted to get into better shape. I admit I really can't wait until about the 3rd game when we should be set on rotations and lineups. Then we see what we really have. Light us up? They scored 7 points in the first half with the majority of the starters playing. In fact, the only thing that lit us up was our backup qbs inability to make smart decisions along with a mistake at the end allowing the te to score Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rns90 Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Earth to Joel, they scored on the 3rd stringers who probably aren't going to be on the roster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that we rested a lot of guys, but it sure didn't look good. Course Horsted was a highlite reel too. It was still ugly no matter, and Woodside gave up a TD because we have no depth at tackle. Yeah but that rookie is a starting caliber QB and only did damage against our guys that won't really see the field much for us. If he had smacked around the starters that would be something something worth nothing. We largely shut him down. If you go watch his highlight cut up against us, it's two plays long; ab outlet pass to a RB and that play where he broke contain and fired in a touchdown vs tight coverage. That's it.
