Same Formula Should Produce Same Results
Coming off last year's 13-3 regular season, expectations are running high. That's because Tennessee has a host of key components returning.
Although the defense lost space-eating tackle Albert Haynesworth, who signed with Washington, it should hold up with a line that includes Kyle Vanden Bosch and linebackers David Thornton, Stephen Tulloch and Keith Bulluck.
The Titans have relied on a ground game to drive their offense, with the dynamic Chris Johnson and the bruising LenDale White running behind one of the league's top lines.
But Tennessee still appears thin in the passing game, lacking proven talent at wide receiver and with quarterback Kerry Collins asked simply to manage the game.-- Mark Viera
