Good Day sporting world,

This has been a rough three weeks for the Tennessee Titans:

Here's a recap:

Week Four on the road versus Houston:
Marcus was 18 of 25 for 175 yards, the problem lingered with the team was turnovers. Marcus had 2 interceptions and 1 fumble. The rushing attack of Murray/Henry was only 31 yards which is not going to get it done in the NFL. The team did have a bright spot rookie Kevin Dodd from Clemson has been emerging as a sack machine, with the injury to Jurrell Casey put pressure on the young rookie to perform. He did have help from Karl Klug which has been playing lights out.

Final Score Titans 7, Texans 17

Week Five on the road versus Miami:
Marcus Mariota had a bounce back game by going 15 of 22 for 168 yards, 1 TD. Jason McCourty had a great game with 2 interceptions proving that he can still be a shutdown corner. The run defense was not great this week. Defense gave up over 200 yards to Arian Foster and Jay Ajayi who couldn't be stopped. The offense continued to struggle on third downs which led to more opportunities for the Dolphins. Ndamukong Suh, Mario Williams and Cameron Wake had a field day on the QB. Bad game planning for the offensive coordinator.

Final Score Titans 7, Dolphins 23

Week Six home game versus Cleveland:
The message was loud and clear from Titans fans that they wanted a win. In the beginning was a struggle even though the offense found ways to score. The main concern was still stopping the run, but it was evident earlier on that this wasn't resolved. Rookie Marshaun Coprich from Illinois State had a field day on this team. Mariota was having a good game which kept the score within 8 points, but defense kept letting them down. Going into the fourth quarter Marcus went into quack attack mode (for all of the Oregon fans) in the final 6 minutes of game. The Titans were down by 15 points which was desperation time for the team. The former Heisman trophy winner led the team to 2 TD and a 2-point conversion caught by future HOF Andre Johnson. The game went into OT, by in which both team had possession. The defining play was when RGIII went for a screen pass, in which Kevin Dodd forced a crucial fumble. The Titans had possession and was getting ready for a game winning score. Last year's Heisman trophy winner Derrick Henry had the game winning run with great blocking by the OL. The was a much needed win by a team that is still looking for their identity.

Final Score Titans 41, Browns 35

The next two game are division opponents with Andrew Luck and the Colts, Blake Bortles and the Jaguars. The third opponent is Phillip Rivers and the Chargers

Indianapolis Colts overview:
In spite the Colts being 1-5, Titans are not overlooking this opponent. In recent past both teams has played each other closely should be an exciting game.

Jacksonville Jaguars overview:
In the beginning of this season we didn't know how this team will look with the new pieces, but it has shown to be great. Jaguars defense is in the top 10 and holding opponents rushing attack little to none. This will be a tall task for our offensive staff.

San Diego Chargers overview:
The will be a reunion for OC coordinator Ken Whisenhunt (Chargers) going up against his former team. This will be a tall task due to their tremendous and savvy QB Phillip Rivers. The Titans will be looking forward to this challenge.

Version III will be coming soon Week 10 stay tuned.
