1. They have allowed 72% of passes to be completed against them. Surprisingly that doesnt even put them in last place. Browns allow 73.4%. :eek:

2. They have allowed a league leading 13 passing TD's.

3. Even with the above they are top 5 in sacks. Go figure. Goes to show that sacks is sort of an overratted stat IMO. Even with all of those sacks QB's are still having field days against them and it isnt creating any turnovers like one would think. Dont care who it is Warner or McCown I have faith that either one along with Boldin/Fitz are going to have a field day against a bad pass D team traveling all the way from the east coast.

4. I am very afriad of their TE's and their dink and dunk offense which will be expanded on with their #1 WR and only true deep threat gone. But then again Griffith and Wilson may be able to play closer to the line nullifing a good RB dou becuase of the WR Injury. But they will still get their yards with their TE's. Controling their fair share of the clock becuase of it.

5. McNair is hot and cold. Very inconsistent this year. Will he be Hot or Cold when he plays our D?

6. They have not allowed a lot of sacks. It may be best to rush 4 or 5 and let everyone else cover the intermediate TE routes instead and see if an aging and inconsistent McNair can beat you with his old arm.

7. I think that our O matches up really well to their D weaknesses in the passing game. I think we will definently score some points but will we be able to stop them from scoring more, I think we can if we dont shoot outselves in the foot with stupid penalties, which we all know is a big if.

Thier TEs scare the heck out of me. They have three that could kill us individually--and they play a lot of 2 TE sets. :eek:

Card win this one...

Won't mean much though, if they don't follow it up with a win in Dallas; and that is a tall order, maybe too tall. :cool:

of course they are in the top 5 for sacks they have the 2nd place in total sacks Kyle Vanden Bosch

I would

agree totally. I'm just waiting for B.J. do break out. He started showing promise early and then one or two crucial drops drained all the confidence out of him.
If not him, one of OUR TE's needs to be used in a mirror image way. Involved,deeply, in the passing game.
McCown will break 400yds. this week with three TD's.

Just to add something further to Joe's list of stats...

The Titans are currently giving up 4.5 YPC. This is the 'softest' run defense we have faced all year.

With all the work the Cardinals have done to 'fix' the ground game over the last two weeks. Coupled with the fact the we are facing one of the softer run D's on our schedule, we had better get something going on the ground!

Double Haynesworth and run at Bulluck = Win.
