Re: Week One: Titans @ Saints
I am sure he will be placed on IR soon, I would also not be surprised if Miller lands there too.

Re: Week One: Titans @ Saints
Logically because they expect him to be back sooner than week five. Also, don't forget there is a limit to how many players you can recall from IR. You don't want to use those on a WR5 when you may need them for a starter later.

Re: Week One: Titans @ Saints
See reply above. They are not going to use IR unless it is absolutely necessary because of the limited number of recalls available. They brought this up last year concerning a couple of players that weren't placed on IR.

Promote someone (special teamer/LB) who can actually help you on next Sun. Jaylon Smith comes to mind. Titans are a old school Power I running type team. We need to clog up as many run lanes as possible. Henry only needs a crease and he's off. |

IMO is a solid #3 option and plays well against the run. |

Re: Week One: Titans @ Saints
If they deem him ready, yes. 4-2-5 will definitely continue to show our deficiencies in stopping the run game. We need to find a good balance here. It's unfortunate injuries zapped Jaylon's athleticism but his football IQ alone should be able to help us. But who knows, maybe the light turns on for Baun like it did for Elliss last season.

Re: Week One: Titans @ Saints
They’re a tough, gritty team. A physical game would be in their favor. We have to jump out on them quick and make them abandon the run game. Make them show us Tannehill can win the game for them. Lattimore should be able to keep Hopkins in check. Henry…thats a different story.
