Titans vs. Jets
Click here to see if the Titans are favored
The Jets will probably try to expose the weak Titans defense (except for Keith Bulluck) against the run. The improved Jets’ offensive line will try to get a good push for the lackluster stable of backs that the Jets employ. Derrick Blaylock will get the first shot, but Cedric Houston and Kevan Barlow will probably get some carries too. Laveranues Coles is the only receiver on the team that can stretch the field, but Chad Pennington doesn’t have the arm strength to throw deep anymore. Look for the Titans to stack the box and make Pennington beat them with his arm.
The Titans haven’t revealed who their starting QB will be, but I think it will be Kerry Collins. Collins has a big arm, but he forces alot of passes into coverage and turns the ball over frequently. Travis Henry will be the starting running back, but Chris Brown and LenDale White will also get their carries. The Titans used their tight-ends alot in their offense last season, but with Collins aboard….it looks as if the wide-outs will be the main targets in the passing game. David Givens has been gimpy as of late, but the Titans need him to keep coverage away from Drew Bennett.
If forced to pick a winner in this game, I would go with the Jets because I think they will protect the football better.
