Well here we go. Final quarter of the regular season with easily the toughest part of our schedule remaining. Up first is obviously the Titans. At 6-6 they look like the easiest game left on our schedule. As some of us have talked on here though this might honestly be one of the toughest. Their strengths line up well with our weaknesses in some key areas such as they have a top-3 run offense. They also have a TE that can do some damage.
So game plan wise here is how I would take on this Titans offense. I would for sure play man coverage on the outside almost the entire game. I would tell Talib, Harris, and Roby that this is their time to shine. Show that they are the true "No Fly Zone" in the NFL.
This then allows us to bring TJ Ward down into the box and commit to daring the Titans to throw to win the game. We have to contain that run game and Ward is a great option to have in lowering the boom on those big backs.
So this leaves maybe the biggest issue being that of Delanie Walker. You throw in Marshall being out and this could get interesting. With single high safety I would tell Stewart to key on helping with Walker and just know that playing this style of defense could lead to some big plays down the field. Honestly this is the same game plan we had against the Panthers in the Super Bowl. Worked out well for us then but we also had a couple of playmakers that are missing right now.
As for the Broncos offense--Honestly everything depends on if Siemian is playing or not of how you attack them. They are weak at the Corner position so if Siemian is in then you have him pick on those outside guys hoping that it forces them to commit more to stopping the pass and opens up the run game.
And honestly for me I give Forsett the majority of the carries in this one. Booker looks beat up both physically and mentally. We got some fresh legs in a guy that really knows the system well and a guy the coaches trust. Let Forsett go out there and do his thing. Plus if nothing else he can a big help in protection.
