Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans: Three Bold Predictions

Found December 29, 2012 on Football Nation: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Chris Johnson,  Reggie Bush,  Jake Locker,  Kenny Britt,  Chad Henne,  Justin Blackmon,  Cecil Shorts,  Keenan McCardell
TEAMS: Jacksonville Jaguars,  Tennessee Titans,  Miami Dolphins,  Green Bay Packers
Tennessee_titans_v_8a58
In Week 16, the Green Bay Packers manhandled the Tennessee Titans in Lambeau, 55-7, while knocking their star player Chris Johnson out of the game with an ankle injury.Johnson returned in the third quarter but was clearly affected by the injury.  While Jacksonville isn't the playoff-caliber team that Green Bay is, the Jaguars haven't given up 100 yards to a rusher since Reggie Bush in a lopsided 24-3 game a few weeks back. Don't be surprised if CJ2K is stuck in neutral this week and the Titans' offense only gets 50 yards rushing while Jake Locker has to sling the ball to Kenny Britt to keep pace.Meanwhile, Chad Henne is auditioning for the starting quarterback position on a team that may bring in Tim Tebow as its starting quarterback next year. But Henne has a pair of receivers in Justin Blackmon and Cecil Shorts that this team hasn't had since the prolific a pair of Jimmy Smith and Keenan McCardell. Unfortunately Shorts was put on IR this week so look for Blackm...

Via Bush League Chronicle  |  December 30, 2012
On Sunday, Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson put his team on the board early on with a 2-yard touchdown scamper against visiting Jacksonville. What he did immediately following that is still left up to interpretation.The Titans would eventually roll over the hapless Jaguars 38-20 despite getting outgained 375 to 221 in total yards.

Jared Cook An Offseason Priority For The Titans?

Via NFL Trade Rumors  |  December 28, 2012
Titans head coach Mike Munchak mentioned that re-signing TE Jared Cook will be one of their top priorities this offseason, per Terry McCormick. Cook underwent shoulder surgery after tearing his rotator cuff back in Week 13, which subsequently ended his season. Cook has plenty of potential to become a big-play threat for the Titans, but he has underachieved while in the team’s...

Titans Keeping Mike Munchak As Their Head Coach?

Via NFL Trade Rumors  |  December 30, 2012
David Climer of The Nashville Tennessean writes that the Titans are unlikely to part ways with head coach Mike Munchak this offseason. “They’re going to keep him. Get used to it,” writes Climer. Climer adds that owner Bud Adams is unlikely to make another coaching change given his age. Munchak’s Titans suffered a terrible loss last weekend and the team looks to be in pretty...

Concussion To Sideline Titans LB Colin McCarthy For Season Finale

Via GridironFans.com  |  December 28, 2012
Linebacker Colin McCarthy is expected to miss his ninth game of the season and fifth this year because of a concussion suffered in the Tennessee Titans' first meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars. McCarthy, who had been expected to be one of the Titans defensive stars, had already missed four games with a high ankle sprain suffered in the season opener against the New England...

On Jake Locker

Via Total Titans  |  December 29, 2012
So it has come to this. Late last season, I wrote a post on a Titans offense that was fundamentally nonfunctional. Three hundred seventy-six days later, the offense is once again fundamentally nonfunctional, for similar but not exactly the same reasons. For this post, though, I'll concentrate on one of the differences. In that post a year ago, I declared Matt Hasselbeck was neither...

Titans win doesn't erase disappointing season

Via Fox Sports Tennessee  |  December 30, 2012
NASHVILLE -- A home win in the season finale for the Tennessee Titans might have taken some chill off the cold of the day. But the 38-20 victory over the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars here Sunday at LP Field did little to defrost a disappointing season that had long been placed on ice. The win notwithstanding, Titans fans in general and team owner Bud Adams in particular will carry...

Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans: Week 17 NFL Pick

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  December 30, 2012
Jacksonville Jaguars (2-13) at Tennessee Titans (5-10) Aside from this being a divisional matchup, this is a completely meaningless game for these two teams. Both are out of the playoffs by a long shot. I have a rule against making significant plays on completely meaningless games. If the teams might not care about a game, I shouldn’t either. There’s just no way to predict what...

Jaguars-Titans preview thoughts, gameday thread

Via Total Titans  |  December 30, 2012
I didn't do Enemy Intelligence this week. Given the nature of Week 17 and two teams going absolutely nowhere, my only prediction is that if one team cares, it will win the game. If neither team cares or, somehow, some way, both teams care, the Titans are slightly better than the Jaguars and playing at home. The line of TEN -4 looks reasonable to me, but anything from a close...
