AJB admitted this last year he played the entire year with a meniscus tear. Go look at what he did. Serious production on low targets.

As for Henry. Remember last year TN was without both starting OT for most of the year. OT are both back and the OL is way deeper than last year. I bet we see unbalanced lines to pound Watt and Jones like we did to Watt last year in Houston. As the game went on Watt fades and Henry gets better. Henry got 2000 with scrubs at OT. He put over 200 twice on the JJ Watt Houston team. Close to 500 yards for the season.

JJ Watt is a good player but he is not what he used to be. We saw it last few years. As for your secondary on TN 3 WR set. Lots of luck. I would have told you that with Butler. He is scrappy. Remember this year's TN 11 personal package with AJB, JJ, and Josh Reynolds with Firsker automatically means 7 in the box for Henry. He has killed teams with 8 ad 9 in the box for two years. Cannot imagine what he may do in the run and screen game with that grouping. Last year he killed Watt with a 70 yd screen. Lots of luck with that.

I'm beyond interested to see how Budda Baker deals with the physicality and size of Henry and the shiftiness of Firkser on third downs in the seams when Henry has a light box.

If you think thahis TN D was like last year you're in for a rude awakening too. The D is better upfront and in the secondary. Simmons is a beast and always requires a double team and Autry is a nice addition from Indy next to him. A lot of depth in both places. I think TN DL on your OL is the biggest mismatch that will manifest early. I think TN WR on your secondary will show up with explosive plays. All 3 starting WR's are explosive.

If you had a run game and TE you'd be tough to deal with TOP. Kingbury O does not control clock and we do with Henry. Big deal in the humidity and heat. The rookie WR Moore you guys got is going to be a good player. I think his match-up with Molden and Farley will be interesting. We know a lot of DHop and his hands but his wheels do not scare us. He is a chain mover. He was scarier with Watson than with Murray because Watson would throw over the D.

Vrabel knows how to deal with a Murray type since we face two better runners twice the last two years in Lamar Jackson and Watson. I think the physicality of Autry and Simmons is going to be a big factor. Not sure what to make out of Chandler Jones since he has been out and pissed off. The rookie LB and Simmons have to tackle an RB bigger than both of them all day long. Isiah Simmons I expect to help the CB out.

Should be a good physical game and close. I think turnovers will be the key in the heat. Lots of wet balls. I expect it to be lower scoring than most think. I also think the AZ D is going to be gassed in the 4th Q in 90 plus heat with high humidity. That is when the King comes to feast.

I like your WR's and QB but I think Simmons and Autry are gonna harm your OL. 24-21 TN.ler

So many words to say so little!

Jut wanted to stop by and tell you I left the game in the 3rd Q and was disgusted. You guys dusted us in all phases. Have a great season. Beat the Colts and stay healthy.
You were like 90% wrong.

Haughty. Over confident. We told you that you were underestimating the Cardinals.

I remember when ASFN was a friendly place for visiting fans who came to talk football and weren’t trolling . . .
I remember when ASFN used to be a land of reality.

A land where we stuck up for the opinions of Cardinals fans, not the masturbatory fantasies of an opposing fan.

@El Sal came on here saying that the Titans were better across the board. Was obviously not true, but you felt the need to stick up for the Qanon Titans fan.

Lame. I get we haven’t had a lot of practice, but you guys taunting a guy who came on here without trolling shows you don’t know how to win with class. My 10 year old behaves better than y’all after a win.

He basically said the Titans were better every where. Said that our young ILBs were smaller than Henry (not true).

Said their CBs weren't a huge mismatch against our WRs.

Total Homer post and deserving of derision.

Thanks for the well wishes, you'll all rebound as the season goes on, I believe. Best of luck!

Im happy he came here writing in our forum how confident he was on his team
He did not expect the Titans destroy us however
Lot if respect for him to come here even after the big loss
I still remember the Rams fan having fun posting here after the game

I definitely give him respect for coming back after the butt kicking they took.

And it was a butt kicking, let's not confuse things here.

The Cardinals just beat the AFC runners up by 25 on the road and they still made TONS of mistakes. The Cardinals are the better team.

Yes we destroy them and it is sweet when opposite fan, after being overly confident, came here and says his beloved team has been wiped away by the Cardinals
So im glad he made that post few days ago

If being a total homer is worthy of derision . . .

Yup but he likely won’t be back after the way people treated him. We’ve had return posters in the past when we play the same team over and over again. If people are jerks to them they’ll stop coming. And that’s a shame.

I guess it’s just a sad reflection of where society is at generally now. Angry gotcha tribalism.
Have you ever posted the type of post that guy made on opposing fans boards? I've done it and gotten 100x more negative reaction.

I think you're being real sensitive here. LOL that guy said the Titans are used to better runners than Murray! He said Watson was better! Thats patently false.

Literally nothing he said was true today. Henry was mostly tackled with ease. He had like 5 carries for negative yards or 0 yards. Their WRs were a nonfactor. Their corners struggled mightily. And the tackles he talked up got beat up bad today.
