"EXOTIC SMASHMOUTH" WITH MURRAY & HENRY COULD DO DAMAGE TO OUR DJ-LESS FRONT SEVEN

Of course we'll be fine - he'll play and WBF.

KC has the advantage of practicing in it all week.

Sutton's going to focus on stopping the run and force Mariota into proving he can play in a 0 windchill, hostile stadium.

I think this is the game where Maclin gets back to form. Titans are going to be giving Kelce and Hill a lot of attention.

It was mid-20s today in Nashville with an ugly windchill. Hopefully the team spent some time outside. Mariota had been experimenting earlier with a throwing glove (for the cold) but is unlikely to use it.

The front 7 is indeed very good. If Jurrell Casey plays, we'll be pretty stout. The secondary has sucked but they played out of their minds last week. Nothing like the incentive that you might get cut to get the attention of the group (Titans GM Jon Robinson does not play around).

They have all week. My office is near the Titan's practice field, you can hear the air horns for practice outside.

But I've been in Arrowhead when it's going to be as cold as it will be on Sunday. It's bone-chilling-soul-stealing-sink-the-Edmund-Fitzgerald cold. Weather is going to be a factor for TN.

Conk is going to have to bring his A++ game to keep Houston in check because he hasn't seen a bullrush, coupled with a complete set of pass rush moves, like Houston has yet. I think you'll have much more success against Ford, who is much more one dimensional and much weaker (ala Barr, Mack, Miller).

Conklin had to keep Von Miller off Mariota all last week. He's a quick study.

No one said that cold wouldn't be a factor. 12 degrees at game time plus wind chill is just ugly. But at least Nashville isn't mid-60s this week....practicing in the cold will help some.

Ben Jones is going to continue his pre-game warmup routine of going out on the field barefoot. Conklin may join him. That's hardcore.

Mariota is a Hawaii boy. He's gonna feel like he's standing naked in the Arctic.

If Anthony Barr, Khalil Mack, Cameron Wake, Von Miller, and everybody else were all held in check there no reason Titan fans should worry too much about anyone.

Over 600lbs of man lock down the edges most snaps, no one is getting thru that, sorry.

If you are missing what he is doing with those posts this might not be the site for you.

Even he admitted this week that he hadn't had a high school game colder than 75 degrees. Paradise must be nice.

We've beaten some better than decent teams, on the road, so I'm not sure why people are that worried about a decent team at home.

if by 'estrogen' you meant mojo, then I'd tend to agree!

I like Mariota as a person and player, just not against the Chiefs.
