Titans' Strategy This Week

The Titans will face a 3-4 defense for the first time all season when they battle the New York Jets on Sunday. The Titans must win the battle at the line of scrimmage and slow the Jets linebackers who are sure to try and pressure Kerry Collins. No team has been able to find much success rushing Collins, who has been sacked only five times this year. However, the Jets come into the game with 34 sacks this season, including seven from defensive end Shaun Ellis.

Defensively, the Titans want to pressure Brett Favre and hope to make him put the ball up for grabs. Despite the gaudy receiving numbers of Jerricho Cotchery and Laveranues Coles, the Titans will take their chances with a secondary that already has 15 interceptions this year.

BTW, saw some cool widgets at statbeast.com. Take a look!
