Offense:

1) We still need to work on the penalties but I am amazed at our ability to overcome them. Last year they killed us this year it doesn't matter :)

2) Our OL is winning us games. The pass protection continues to excel while the run blocking continues to improve. Granted you have to factor in the teams we are playing but we look good. I hope Gurode is ok that dude manhandled Haynsworth. Rivera and Colombo are starting to show signs of chemistry. Flo looks like he is getting more flexibility in his leg.

3) What can you say JuJo is having a killer year so far considering the weapons we have. Barber is a tank and I love watching the guy run. I love me some TT as well and I cannot wait for him to break one on KR.

4) Passing attack is starting to take shape. TG is benefiting from TO bigtime and continues to show killer hands and amazing footwork. I was so happy to see TO and Bledsoe start to get a rythm together. I love the catch Witten made on his back hehehe. Bledsoe started with a pick but played extremely well.

Defense:

1) For you Vince doubters he really impressed me in this game. Granted he made mistakes but he got 14 points on our defense and had Collins been in there it wouldn't of been over 10.

2) Our DL continues to be a beast and Canty is a freaking monster and had a heck of a game. Ware and Ellis continue to play extremely well. I got frustrated with James and Akin because they kept over pursuing and the Titans were able to keep running the ball and keep drives alive. They corrected this eventually and really started to shut down the run so that was good to see. Bradie to the HOUSE!!!!!!!! Burnett is all over the place guys he is going to be special!

3) DB's continue to play very well. Roy is having the best year of his career so far and you can tell how much Watkins is allowing him to do what he does best. Watkins played extremely well, had a couple pass breakups, and a fumble return with some really nice jukes. I love me some A Glenn the guy is mighty mouse!!!! Henry and TNew made some good plays.

Special Teams:

I love TNew returning punts but the collision with Burnett had to hurt Burnetts jewels :). McBriar only had to punt once woohoo! Vandy was all over the place with his kickoffs but did show he can get it to the endzone. It looked like Vandy's first FG was tipped or was I imagining? Made up with his second one.

Thats all I can recall :)

This was a huge win considering the challenge next week.

If our OL can provide the kind of protection against Philly that they've provided the last two games; then we ought to do well vs Philly.

Very good point Biz that will be the key of the game.

I don't know, Hurd preventing Witten from catching the ball in the 1st half was pretty bad.

Actually it was TNew who laid the hit on Burnett. Would've been nice to see what kind of return it would've been.

They could both make Jacked up, because they both got jacked up.

Best "jacked up" hit of the weekend is the Boise State hit on the Utah Utes RB. Man he crushed him.

There was a Titan right behind Burnett. Unless TNew could have made a move without much time to make it. He would have only made maybe a few more yards.

Burnett, it looked like he was trying to avoid blocking someone in the back, and didn't see TNew when he moved over.

Maybe he thought TNew was breaking to the outside, but both went inside.

I agree with DBoys points very much...
also add that our DL is going to have to get pressure on Mcnabb, much better than we did against the Titties.
I'm embarrassed that we allowed them 14 points.
I think we made VY look a lot better than most teams will. We're probably the only team that won't blitz the snot out of him, which in turn will increase his INT rate and dim the light in the eyes of his supporters.
Our CBs are going to have to start coming up with more INTs.
Don't like our soft run D.
Vandy may very well cost us a game this year. Its embarrassing.
and my final thought:
WE HAVE TO GET TO THE BALL MORE TIMES PER GAME!!!
it's not to keep him happy or anything, its because he's a crazy playmaker and cannot be covered most of the time.
