Unfortunately I'm much more nervous about playing the Titans than I was last week. I'm happy to have some hope now, and think we definitely can win, but its by no means a given. They need to look at what the Raiders did well and try and replicate it. I'm guessing the Titans will sell out even more than the Texans did to stop Fournette and Bortles will need to have more than 125 passing yards if we want to win next week

Not sure you can sell out more than the Texans did. Every team the Jags play will sell out to stop the run. It's not like the Texans respected Blake in this game especially when ARob went down.
This season is all about the run game and defense. This defense will be getting after Mariota and going at him hard. The team will limit Blakes chances and give the rock to Fournette and Ivory. Wear down the Titans defense and create turnovers.
No doubt, I expect a close low-scoring game. Titans will be desperate for a win. Our run defense will be key and the receivers need to step up to keep their defense from focusing totally on the run.
A key against the tacks will be avoiding complacency after a big win like that. I'm thinking that the new vet leaders will help keep the other guys focused.
The Jags won't have the opportunity to T-off on Mariota like they did the texans. If the Jags can't lock up receivers on crossing routes, it could be a long day. Think about when Watson moved the ball successfully yesterday and that is what the tacks have ten fold. Those plays can't be allowed. This will be a game where Telvin and Jack will need to ball out.
The Jaguars have a key advantage going into next week's game. The tacks have Cyp as a starting safety. Just throw it to whomever he's desperately running after. You'll either get a completion or an interference penalty.
