NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Greetings from the home office in the middle of the night, where I've stayed up to try to piece together a comprehensive look at the Titans from their 30-14 loss to the Buccaneers at Nissan Stadium.
I watched the game at Nissan Stadium, talked to a few people, worked on this a bit then headed here to the home offive to review the telecast.
Here is much of what I saw.
3 K Austin Barnard – Punted three times for a 41.3 net average, pinning two inside the 20.
4 K Ryan Succop – Did attempt a field goal. Hit the first of the Titans PATs.
6 K Brett Kern – Punted three times for a 44.3-yard net average, pinning one inside the 20.
7 QB Blaine Gabbert – Hit on 10 of 16 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown, good for a 105.2 passer rating. Ran well on one 13-yard gain that could have been bigger if Will Clarke didn’t trip him up with a shoestring play.
8 QB Marcus Mariota – Finished with four successful passes in seven attempts for 80 yards, 47 of which came on a receiver screen to Taywan Taylor who took it 47 yards for a score. Made a terrible throw with little conviction on his first deep shot that landed well inside and short of Corey Davis. Impressively threw left-handed while warming up Luke Falk on the sideline.
10 WR Michael Campanaro – Did not play.
11 QB Luke Falk – Completed eight of his 12 throws for 64 yards and took one sack.
Ross was wide open, Falk was late and just doesn't have that kind of arm. Needs to see it sooner and get it out there. Lucky to draw a pass interference penalty. #Titans
