Note this post has nothing to do with reports the Tampa Bay Buccaneers plan to interview Titans defensive coordinator Jerry Gray for their head coaching job. This post was pre-planned, and in fact I'd have written it last week if I'd been blogging last week.
Offensive coordinator Chris Palmer and defensive coordinator Jerry Gray do weekly interviews with the reporters who cover the Titans every Thursday, and the official site posts at least some of the video. I watch them, just because they're a rare chance to hear Palmer and Gray talk, but there's not much particularly interesting most of the time. Last Thursday's interview with Jerry Gray (video link), though, was more than just the normal fare of getting quotes about the upcoming opponent.
Keep in mind that Jerry Gray came in and identified the problem with the Titans defense, and that problem was stopping the run, because stopping the run in the key to winning in the NFL. Keep in mind that opponents ran the ball a lot against the 2010 Tennessee Titans, especially the second half of the year, because they'd shredded the secondary and gotten a big lead. Keep in mind that the Titans ranked third in the NFL in Football Outsiders' rushing defense DVOA in 2010, which adjusts for things like the opponents running the ball a lot because they got a big lead. Keep in mind the run defense was good all year, even the second half of the season when the defense collapsed.
Now enter Jerry Gray. Gray identified the Titans' problem in stopping the run as arising from the defensive front seven, particularly the defensive line, being too small, and too aggressive. Instead, the defensive line needed to be bigger (a legitimate argument, as the Titans were a bad defense against the run in third and fourth and short, when too often the smaller defensive linemen were simply manhandled). The Titans went out and made some moves like the defensive line needed a makeover. Nowhere was this more evident than at defensive tackle, where only Sen'Derrick Marks remained among the top four. They drafted Karl Klug and Jurrell Casey, signed Shaun Smith in free agency, and moved undersized Jason Jones out to defensive end. They also overhauled the linebackers, bringing in a true Sam in the draft in Akeem Ayers and paying a non-modest sum in free agency for a non-penetrating linebacker, Barrett Ruud.
And now we fast-forward to the end of the season, a season where, at least by DVOA terms, the Titans got worse against the run and a defensive line rebuilt to be less quick struggled to rush the passer.

With the season ending, it's time for some posts reviewing the season that was. I'll be picking some team MVPs, highlighting some statistical tidbits, and writing some other posts to give more of a macro idea of a season that was. At some point, we'll be moving into our positional analyses. If there's anything in particular you'd like us to cover, either about the season that was or for the offseason, let us know. No promises, but it's a long offseason.
I was pessimistic about the state of the 2011 Tennessee Titans. If you told me that Chris Johnson would be the primary ball-carrier all year and five times finish with fewer than 30 yards rushing in a game and seven times average less than three yards a carry, and Kenny Britt would be lost for the season in the fourth game, I probably would've been even more pessimistic. Despite that, they confounded by my expectations by going 9-7 and finishing with a league-average offense.
The reason they were so good, comparatively speaking? A passing offense that, despite the loss of Britt and a disappointing season from Jared Cook, was still productive for much of the season. The man who played the biggest role in that, in my eyes, is my offensive MVP for the 2011 Tennessee Titans, quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.

It was not elegant. It was rarely pretty. They needed some fluke luck to seal the deal. But in the end, the Tennessee Titans got what they didn't get in 2006: a win in the final game of the season to keep their playoff hopes alive against an opponent who know they were playing the next weekend. This time, as in 2006: 23 points, this year's magic number. For the opponent: not 40, but 22, sealed when a false start and then an awful shotgun snap on two-point conversion with :13 to play by a Houston Texans team determined to avoid overtime.
It almost seemed like a sort of joke, Week 17 ball security issues redux. Last year, the Titans were in Rob Bironas field goal range in a tie game against the Colts, when a busted center-snap exchange led to a fumble the Colts converted into their own game-winning field goal. This time, it was a rare carry by Ahmard Hall, a change-up call after Chris Johnson motioned out wide, when the Titans were trying to get one final first down so they could kneel it out. Hall's shown a propensity to fumble in the past, and he did again this time, then picked up a concussion to add injury to insult, and the Texans had the ball in Titans' territory with a chance to tie or take the lead they nearly did after Jake Delhomme found Bryant Johnson in the back of the end zone.
Then again, give the Titans' seemingly unprepared defense credit. They were supposed to face T.J. Yates and Andre Johnson, not Delhomme and Bryant. Gary Kubiak, though, crossed people up. Arian Foster sat. Owen Daniels sat. Johnathan Joseph, their good cornerback, sat. T.J. Yates picked up a shoulder injury on a sack the opening drive, and sat the rest of the game. Other regulars, stars and not, were gradually removed as the game went on, especially in the second half. Tight end Garrett Graham played Sam linebacker the Titans' final offensive series.

I'll write a full recap later tonight, but wanted to get something up immediately.
The Titans pulled out a close win against what ended up being a much more reserve-filled Houston Texans squad than anticipated. Matt Hasselbeck found Nate Washington for several long passes in the second half against the Texans' scrubs in the secondary, including what proved to be the game-winning TD+XP in the fourth quarter. Ahmard Hall's fumble as the Titans were trying to run the clock out made the game much more interesting; a first down would've sealed the game, but the Texans had a chance. Jake Delhomme hit Bryant Johnson for a TD. Eschewing OT, the Texans went for 2, false started from the two yard line, went for it again from the seven, but center Austin's shotgun snap went well over Delhomme's head, and the Titans escaped.
To make the playoffs, the Titans now need the following help:
1. Cincinnati Bengals lose to the Baltimore Ravens;
2. Denver Broncos win over the Kansas City Chiefs; and
3. Oakland Raiders beat the San Diego Chargers.
If any of those fails to happen, the Titans' season is over. 10% chance? 25% chance? Ballpark your estimate somewhere between those. Happy watching! no comments

Happy New Year, everybody.
The inactives are out for today's regular season finale at Reliant Stadium in Houston, and here they are.
HOUSTON TEXANS: G Mike Brisel, TE Owen Daniels, RB Arian Foster, QB Jeff Garcia, CB Johnathan Joseph, CB Sherrick McManis, FS Troy Nolan
TENNESSEE TITANS: FB Quinn Johnson, DE Jason Jones, C Kevin Matthews, LB Gerald McRath, QB Rusty Smith, DT Shaun Smith, OT Byron Stingily
Well, apparently Gary Kubiak's definition of playing the game like he'll be trying to win includes benching several starters. As expected, WR Andre Johnson is active, but is expected to play only a limited number of snaps. Beyond him, Kubiak surprisingly elected to sit Foster, Daniels, and Joseph. Ben Tate starts at RB, Joel Dreessen at TE, and Jason Allen at CB. The corner pairing of Allen and Kareem Jackson is one the Titans can probably have success attacking.
For the Titans, the only real surprise on the inactive list is Shaun Smith out and Zach Clayton in for only the third time all year. I'll have more to say about Smith, in the context of DC Jerry Gray, hopefully later this week.
One thing to keep in mind for today's game is the Meineke Car Car Bowl of Texas was played at Reliant Stadium yesterday afternoon, so there's a very good chance chunks of turf will not be very good. The plan was to replace some of it before today's game, so some of it will be fresh but unrooted. Pats WR Wes Welker blew out his ACL Week 17 a couple years ago at Reliant, which may have just been bad luck, but Kubiak's not taking any chances.
Feel free to leave your comments here during today's game or yap with me on twitter. I'll be back after today's game is over with a recap. Remember the other game to keep an eye on is Jets-Dolphins, and the playoff scenarios for the Titans are easier with a Jets win, but the Titans can't be eliminated with any result. What can eliminate them early is a win. Win first, scoreboard watch later. no comments

Pardon the light posting this week. I've been under the weather, slower to recover than I expected, and other things have kept me away.
To preview the big regular season finale against the Texans, we again turned to Dustyn Richardson of Texans Tribune, Bloguin's Houston Texans blog. As they were in the prior matchup between the teams, the Titans and Texans are the top two teams in the AFC South, but they're now in slightly different positions. I tried to get a flavor of what's changed from when the previous Q&A exchange, and more who the Texans are now and what Week 17 means to them.
For my questions and Dustyn's answers, check after the jump.

Merry Christmas to all.
Improbably and contrary to my expectations, the Titans now have 8 wins and have a chance to make the playoffs this season. For that to happen, two things absolutely have to happen:
A. Titans beat the Texans in Houston; AND
B. Bengals lose to the Ravens in Cincinnati.
If either of those things does not happen, the Titans cannot make the playoffs. The Texans are locked into the #3 seed, so we'll see how much effort they expend on that game. The game against the Bengals means a great deal for the Ravens. If they win, they'll be no worse than the #2 seed and could be the #1 seed if the Patriots lose. If the Ravens lose, they'll be the #5 seed if the Steelers win.
In addition to the two things that have to happen, there are other things that have to happen:
C. The Raiders or Broncos lose or tie, and the Jets win.
The Raiders play the Chargers in Oakland. The Broncos play the Chiefs in Denver. If either team loses, the AFC West runner-up is not 9-7, so they're behind the Titans and Bengals. The Jets, who are 8-7, play the Dolphins in Miami. A Jets win puts the Titans, Bengals, and Jets in a three-way tie, which the Titans win; OR
D. The Raiders and Broncos both win, and the Jets lose or tie.
If the Raiders and Broncos both win, the Broncos win the division. The Raiders would then be 9-7 and be in a three-way tie with the Bengals and Titans, which the Titans win. If the Jets are also 9-7, the Titans do not win the four-way tiebreaker and would be eliminated.
The Bengals, Raiders, and Broncos all play in Sunday's second block of games, and while the Jets play early in the day, the Titans can make the playoffs no matter what happens in that Jets-Dolphins game. The Titans thus need to do what they didn't do in 2006, take care of their own business, and hope the rest breaks out the right way, like it did in 2006. no comments

The Tennessee Titans improved their record this season to 3-1 this season in 23-17 games, beating the Jaguars in Nashville. The Titans held a two-score lead from the second quarter on until the Jaguars cut the margin to single digits, then successfully killed the clock.
The offensive star for the game was Jared Cook. A week after a nominally productive game where almost all of his production was either negated by his own mistakes or came in garbage time, he set a franchise record for a tight end with 169 yards receiving, most of it important. He scored the first touchdown of the game, beating Paul Posluszny down the seam for a 55-yard touchdown pass. He had a 24-yard gain to set up the Titans' second touchdown, a one-yard plunge by Jamie Harper. Finally, he had maybe his most important catch of the game, a 29-yard pass to convert third down and five with less than four minutes to play. Cook's eight catches also came on eight targets, so he had efficiency to go with his great production.
Cook's big game came as part of a pass-heavy gameplan. Chris Johnson ended up with 15 carries, but only four of them in the first half as the Titans called 25 passes to 5 runs in the first two quarters in route to 17 first half points. Johnson ended up with 56 yards on those rushes, but his only real difference-making run I saw was a 13-yarder to seal the win.
Rob Bironas also showed off his value, hitting a pair of 51-yard field goals and not missing. Damian Williams matched Cook's eight grabs, for 83 yards. The Titans overcame three turnovers, two Matt Hasselbeck interceptions and a Jamie Harper fumble that set up the touchdown that cut the lead to 23-17. As I anticipated, Karl Klug had a sack of Blaine Gabbert. The Titans weren't whistled for a penalty for the first time since apparently 1972.
With the win, the Titans are still alive in the playoffs, but will need help. They'll have to take care of their business against the Texans next week first, though. More details on the playoffs and what happened this game later in the week, when there are no adorable short people around to distract me. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night. no comments

The inactives are out for today's game at LP Field between the Titans and the Jaguars, and here they are:
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: RB Deji Karim, QB Dan LeFevour, S Dwight Lowery, DB Robert McClain, DE Matt Roth, WR Cecil Shorts, OT Guy Whimper
TENNESSEE TITANS: DT Zach Clayton, DE William Hayes, FB Quinn Johnson, C Kevin Matthews, LB Gerald McRath, QB Rusty Smith, OT Byron Stingily
For the Jaguars, Shorts and Roth were both out, while Lowery and Whimper were doubtful. TE Marcedes Lewis plays after being listed as questionable. For the Titans, LB Patrick Bailey returns to the lineup. McRath was out, and Hayes is inactive after being listed as questionable. As expected, Chris Johnson is active despite his own questionable listing. In a mild surprise, Donnie Avery is active again, while the re-acquired Quinn Johnson is inactive, leaving the Titans with only CJ, Harper, and Hall as active backs.
Feel free to leave your comments here during today's game, and stay tuned to Total Titans after the game for a recap and more coverage of today's game. no comments

Thanks to Shane Clemons of The Jaggernaut, who was kind enough to answer our questions about the Jaguars. Since the Jags are a division rival, many of my questions for him are about the future of that organization.
Total Titans: The Jaguars have 23 players on Injured Reserve, including 9 defensive backs. A lot of the players who will start this week didn't play or weren't even on the team when the Jaguars and Titans met in Week One. Which of these players are doing well? Which ones are liabilities?
The Jaggernaut: The Jaguars secondary has been hit incredibly hard by injuries, so we're obviously going to be keeping an eye on them. Ashton Youboty is the guy to keep an eye on because he's been great and terrible, sometimes in the same game. He's a guy that the Titans should be able to exploit for some big games, but he's also able to jump a pass here and there for a big play going the Jaguars' way.
