Titans-Jets inactives, gameday thread

Written by Tom Gower on .

The inactives are out for tonight's Monday Night Football game at LP Field between the Tennessee Titans and the New York Jets, and there they are.

NEW YORK JETS: CB Aaron Berry, DL Damon Harrison, WR Stephen Hill, TE Dustin Keller, QB Greg McElroy, G Caleb Schlauderaff, LB Bryan Thomas

TENNESSEE TITANS: LB Xavier Adibi, OT Daniel Baldridge, LB Colin McCarthy, G Mitch Petrus, QB Rusty Smith, DE Scott Solomon, WR Damian Williams

There are no big surprises on either inactive list; the starter-type names, like McCarthy, Hill, Keller, and Thomas, were all on the official injury report. Since I didn't mention Tim Tebow's name in Enemy Intelligence, I'll note that he's active tonight. He's worse than Sanchez at throwing the football, though of course teams that are terrible at that like the Jets might not care that much.

Feel free to leave your comments here during today's game. I'll be chiming in on Twitter, so feel free to follow and yap at me there.

Enemy Intelligence: New York Jets

Written by Tom Gower on .

 

The Titans host the New York Jets on Monday Night Football. The Jets are 6-7 and still alive for a playoff spot if they win their last three games, so it's not two teams with nothing to play for. New York is coming off a 17-10 road win in Jacksonville last week where all of their points came in the second half.
 
After the jump, what I saw from the Jets last week and the others of their games I've managed to sit through.

Titans fail to hold halftime lead, lose to Colts 27-23

Written by Andrew Strickert on .

It's another sad day in a season which hasn't had many high points.  The Titans took a 20-7 halftime lead into the locker room at Lucas Oil Stadium.  When they exited, they left their game in the locker room and couldn't make their lead stand up.  Jake Locker threw a pair of costly interceptions in the second half which gave the Colts ten easy points.  Andrew Luck led the Colts to another come from behind victory.

 
These teams are inverse images of each other in several respects.  The Colts improved their record to 9-4 on the season while the Titans dropped to 4-9.  The Titans have lost three games in a row and the Colts have won three in a row.  The Titans have lost five of their last six, while the Colts have won seven of their last eight.  They're definitely two teams going in opposite directions.
 
I did see a few good things today, for those who may want to find something positive or even encouraging.

Titans inactives:
T Daniel Baldridge, DT DaJohn Harris, WR Lavelle Hawkins, LB Colin McCarthy, G Mitch Petrus, QB Rusty Smith, WR Damian Williams
 
Hawkins, who was questionable, will be replaced on today's active roster by Michael Preston, who has looked like a good prospect in training camp and preseason for two years.  Preston was called up from the practice squad earlier this week.
 
Colts inactives:
RB Donald Brown, LB Mario Harvey, DT Kellen Heard, WR Nathan Palmer, G Joe Reitz, T Bradley Sowell, S Tom Zbikowski

Enemy Intelligence: Indianapolis Colts

Written by Tom Gower on .

 

For another look at the 2012 Indianapolis Colts, I went ahead and watched last week's Colts game. Last week, the Colts went to Detroit and defeated the Lions, 35-33, to improve their record on the season to 8-4. They were down for most of the game, but Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes in the final three minutes, including the game-winner as time expired, to lift his team to the victory.
 
In this second look at the 2012 Colts, I'm going to make a conscious effort not to repeat too many things from my EI post before the first matchup. Some of it I will, just to establish the ground rules and because I think it's sufficiently important.

Nate Dunlevy answers Total Titans' questions about the Colts

Written by Tom Gower on .

It's time for another installment of my pre-Colts game Q&A with Nate Dunlevy. This is our fifth season doing this, and in that time, Nate has moved from his own site 18 to 88 to bigger and better things as Lead Writer for Bleacher Report at their AFC South blog. He's also written two books, including Blue Blood, a history of the Colts in Indianapolis, and Invincible, Indiana, a novel of Indiana high school basketball, while also still being part of the cast of writers at Colts Authority. You also can (and should) follow him on Twitter.

Total Titans: Before the game in Nashville in late October, you said Andrew Luck had been basically average. Is that still about where you'd put his level of performance?
