GATOR BITES (Titans Game Analysis)

Honestly, I\'m sick. We got owned. Completely.

The offense looked flat bad. The play calling made me sick. Here\'s an idea McCarthy - use the pass to set up the run. Spread the field and whip it around on the first couple of series - THEN go to Deuce to keep the D off balance.

A lot of questions about our D were answered for me today. The two real teams we played owned us. Seattle did what they wanted against us. So did the Titans. Granted, Seattle could be the best team in the NFC right now and the Titans are the winningest team in football over the last four seasons, but still. Quality opponents will have their way with us.

Here\'s an idea on special teams. Run the wedge to the MIDDLE of the f-cking field!!!!! We run the wedge AT the sideline. Lewis gets through the wedge on every damn return but can\'t go anywhere b/c all the D has to do is push him to the sideline. Give him a F-cking chance and let him cut to EITHER side of the field. He is dangerous in space, not tip-toing along the sideline!

I think McCarthy could over achieve while Zook was around, b/c I\'m guessing that Zook, who is a very good coach all around - not just defensively - helped a lot. Since then, McCarthy is over his head. So far, every week the game plan we\'ve come out with is the opposite of what we need to be doing. He\'s not nearly as good of a coach as I thought he was. Venturi puts his D in position to get abused.

I am completely disappointed in this tam all around. In fact, the guy I think who has been playing best for this team week in and week out (other than Grant and Whitehead, who have been very good) is Aaron Brooks. Yeah, I said it. Brooks has been playing very well for us. But it\'s not enough.

I think we lose to Indy next week and climbing out of a 1-3 hole in our division is going to be next to impossible. @ the Panthers could be another loss too. We might not get back on track until we play the Bears. 3-5 after 8 is looking optimistic to me right now.
