8-8 in 2009
It was tough to find a hotter team in the last 10 weeks of the season in 2009. The Titans got off to an 0-7 hole they were never able to climb out of. Vince Young ressurected the Titans last year once he took over for an inept Kerry Collins. Chris Johnson showed what a superstar he could be last season, and he could once again carry the Titans offense this seaason.
The Titans offense focus is Chris Johnson. Johnson can do it all and is a threat to score anytime he touches the ball, no matter where he is on the field. With Vince Young turning in a solid performance once he was inserted back into the starting role I think the Titans can make some noise this season. The WR corps is made up of players who are not stellar but will make plays when needed. Kenny Britt needs to prove he can be a go-to receiver and this is his year to do it. If Young and Britt can step-up this year the Titans will give opposing defenses a hard time trying to stop multiple threats, the biggest being Chris Johnson.
On defense the Titans strength is their secondary. The defensive backs and safetys are all playmakers but the supporting front 7 needs some work. The Titans had a great pick in Derrick Morgan out of Georgia Tech who should bolster the d-line immediately. The linebackers are not a group that jumps out at you on paper, but the addition of Will Witherspoon should add a nice veteren presence after losing Keith Bulluck. The Titans defense should not be great but I do not think they will be bad either. If they can keep this team in games the offense could steal a few wins with the playmakers they have.
The Tennessee Titans biggest problem is being in the same division as the high-powered Colts and Texans. The Texans keep getting better with their explosive offense and improving defense. The Titans have a tough schedule and 2 very good teams in their division. In a weaker division they could post 9-10 wins. This year unless the defense really steps up I see the Titans as a good team, just not good enough.
-Prediction: 8-8 in 2010
