As promised, it's a detailed look at Alterraun Verner's first start as an NFL cornerback last Sunday against the Broncos.

The usual disclaimers about judging a player off TV tape apply with unusual force here.  My least favorite things to judge off a television broadcast are (1) safeties, since half the time you can't see them when they line up, and their assignments can vary so much from play to play; (2) offensive linemen and creating holes, since the low sideline angle commonly used on NFL broadcasts does a horrible job of showing what's really open; and (3) cornerbacks, because their assignments vary, though not quite as much as safeties' do, you frequently only see the start of the play and the end of the play they're involved in, and you don't see what they do if the ball isn't actually thrown their way.  That said, on with the show.

The Tennessee Titans (2-2) will look to rebound from last week's home loss to the Broncos as they travel to Texas this week for a visit to the 1-2 Dallas Cowboys in a game that will be shown to most of the country.

Both teams will be looking to continue their winning ways in interconference play this year.  The Titans beat the Giants, 29-10 in their first visit to a new NFC East stadium.  The Cowboys, meanwhile, obtained their only win this season two weeks ago in Reliant Stadium, toppling the Texans 24-7 before enjoying last week's bye.
