Even with run heavy teams 3rd and 6+ is a passing play.  And we just can't figure out how to get off the field on those down and distance situations.  I blame the DC on these situations.  I just think it's time we bring in a real DC that has real NFL experience.  I'm just sick of having to "experiment" on "up and coming" coaches or front office. 

We now have a SB winning coach that has clearly make our offense playoff caliber.  The Defense and Front Office deserve the same kind of treatment when it comes to leadership.

Our run D went from 24th in the league to 6th in the league THIS SEASON because we added Oluokun and Fatukasi primarily.
Drafting Lloyd and Muma was also part of the effort. Walker has also been a positive addition in this run game. 

So yeah - it is good enough now. Before that it sucked donkey balls and had for years. 

The fact that you are unaware of this makes me dubious about your evaluation of any scheme Caldwell may or may not be employing. 

We know what the DC is doing isn't good enough, but we also know he doesn't have enough pass rushers or DBs who can cover.

Bro...  Why you do me like that?

I'm not sure if you haven't read my other posts, or maybe you confuse me for someone else...  But I actually have given my take on our Defensive Personnel.  I have given much credit to our run stopping defensive players.  I almost feel insulted, but naw, it's cool.  I can't expect you to read everything I've ever written about this team.

Be that as it may.  

 This thread is discussing whether or not we are about to be whooped by the Titans.  I just think that maybe we have a chance for a come up based on our talent, so long as they focus on Henry.  

Oh and there was another thread that I mentioned that for the last 4 games, Henry has been averaging right about 3 yards per carry.  While it's true that our pass D is really bad right now.  Our run D isn't the disaster many people thing they are.  (and just to say, I've never talked [BLEEP] about our Run D, or the players that make plays in that aspect of the game).
