Don't sleep on Britt, he can do some damage

Nate Washington the other WR and Bo Scaife is an excellant TE with Crumpler backing him up. With Young now running the ball they have more than enough weapons. We can't give up the big play and Young still capable of screwing up if forced to throw down field.

Excellent point. Anyone who has followed the Titans knows that the focus of their passing attack are the Tight Ends and running backs.

In fact you could say that the Titans offense has been the exact opposite of the Cards who seldom throw to the Tight Ends, have great WRs, the exact opposite of VY at QB, and until this season have had trouble running the ball, but have dominated with their outside air attack.

Again I am really concerned about the Cards ability to stop the Titans offense for that reason. We have been historically weak defending passes to the TE's and screens to quality RBs.

With a QB that can run you may suggest someone like Wilson shadow him but with the TE's TN has you really can't. It will be tough but I am waiting for Young to screw up. Hopefully this weekend.

The titan are in uncharterd water with every game they play.No NFL team has lost 6 games and then won even 4 straight,much less 5 straight.With each passing game the odds are getting tougher.

Yes they probably should'nt have lost the first 6 to begin with.Chris Brown has promised a 10 game winning streak before it started.They are playing together as a team with a great coach backing them up.Yet they could have easily lost that game to the texans.Missed fieldgoals both ways.At least 2 by the texans.Plus bad gameplanning with such a hot qb.Slaten & Moats did'nt do well running the ball at all and Slaten dropped a game winning catch in the fourth that would have gotten into the red zone.

Everyone puts their pants on the same way in Nashville as we do in ARIZONA.Even though the media has blown the titans out of proportion as the next SB team.Made them unstoppable with the new Vince Young.Its almost too funny to listen too.

Its all gonna come down to a very disciplined scheme where everyone is gonna have to trust everyone else on defense and not try to do someone else's job as you'll end up giving Johnson a route to run if you loose containment.I worry about A-Dub trying to do too much.

I like our run gap blitzes on the way to the qb.We just can overrun the play like Calais' Campbell has done way too many times this season.Hope he has learned his lesson by now.He's let many a sack go by the wayside doing it.I think Haggans has a great game,along with Dansby and Hayes.If McFadden is well then I see him with a few tackles as well.Having Okeafor back will be a major key.Of course we may not see the tackles on the record book but Dockett will have a major say in the game of course that goes without saying.

Funny, we expect Beisel to step up and be a solid backup but make excuses for Leinart when he is asked to do the same thing. Just saying.

There is an enormous difference between playing QB in the NFL and playing LB.

Also there is the difference between Leinart's play as a starter and his play as a backup.

The key for me is that KenW and staff have been exceptional in terms of player development especially when compared to previous Cardinal coaching staffs. So we can't really say what will happen when and if Matt is handed the reins to the offense full time if Whiz is still HC.

Infront of the TV - cursing this team.
Wow, remember not to long ago...a starter would go down and the Cardinals wouldn't even think about bringing in a replacment. What a difference a stadium makes. These aren't your father's Cardinals! uhh...remember Fred Wakefield at D end, O tackle, tight end...Happy Thanks Giving Mr. B! and Fred (where ever you are)

Lots of Ifs.I would think Head Coach Whis would outlast any player we have on todays roster.He's gonna be given a lot of room to make his own decisions for quite a while now after his constant and quick success.I don't think he'll be going anywhere for a while unless they don't want to pay him what he's asking.I doubt that happens either.
