2009 Tennessee Titans Football Predictions
Written July 16, 2009 by Nick Scarpa
The Tennessee Titans get things done with a retro style of NFL play, bone-rushing defense and a dangerous running game. Adding to the retro appearance of the Titans is pocket-passer in Kerry Collins who has replaced the former face of the franchise QB Vince Young. After finishing 13-3 and winning the AFC South, the Titans are thinking Superbowl. The coaching staff is bright and the roster has great depth to make a Superbowl run in 2009. The NFL odds to win the Super Bowl this season have been posted, with the Titans listed at +2000.
The Tennessee Titans operate a run-oriented offense centered around the abilities of RB’s Chris Johnson and LenDale White. Johnson the speed burner and White the bruiser combined to form the 7th ranked rushing offense in the NFL last season. What the offense needs is more big plays and the team is hoping the addition of vertical threat WR Nate Washington, and #1 draft pick WR Kenny Britt will help provide explosiveness. QB Kerry Collins is playing his best football at age 37. Collins is protected by arguably the best O-Line in the NFL that affords him time to adequately read defenses. Collins also filled the leadership void that former starter Vince Young could not provide. For the Titans to go to the next level they will need to improve on their 15th ranked scoring offense.

The Tennessee Titans 2nd ranked defense from a year ago will have to due without their best player on defense DT Albert Haynesworth. Replacing Haynesworth will be Jason Jones who scouts feel is a stud in the making. Tennessee’s front seven in their 4-3 defense is still much better than most NFL teams even without Haynesworth. OLB Keith Bullock is still an aggressive playmaker that provides veteran leadership. The secondary is among the NFL’s best with All-Pro CB Cortland Finnegan and a pair of future stars in Safety’s Chris Hope and Michael Griffin. Bet the Titans +300 to win the NFC North.
The big question is whether or not the offense can pile up enough points to keep up with the elite. Kerry Collins is not the game breaker that will take the Titans to the next level. Look for Tennessee to win 10 games but come up short in the postseason.
