When you study the Titans, there are two areas that really stand out on their offense. The first is running back Chris Johnson (http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/post/_/id/4672928/scouts-eye-titans-cowboys-preview#comments) and the second is the offensive tackles, Michael Roos (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8455) and David Stewart (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8527).
When the Titans run the ball, they like to do it with stretch plays, counters and tosses. Johnson has a real feel for how to find the gaps and holes along the defense, then explode through them.
The Cowboys should have an advantage with the matchup at nose when Jay Ratliff (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8638) works against center Eugene Amano (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=5764). Amano will struggle with Ratliff’s quickness and power. Ratliff puts a ton of pressure on the offense because of his ability to attack the pocket.
The Titans have different players, but it’s still the same aggressive defensive that has always been a staple of Jeff Fisher teams. The Titans are an undersized along the defensive front, but they are very aggressive when it comes to rushing the passer. Wade Phillips calls it relentless and they do a nice job of playing the run on the way to rushing the passer.
The Titans like to bring four-man pressure and they like to work games up front. You will also see twist stunts, corner and slot blitzes.
