Titans 8 and Texans 11 is a slap in the face. I guess they'll have to go into Tennessee next season and spank them 41-7 again.

And they did that without Andre Johnson. Schaub had 296 passing yards. Arian Foster: 115 rushing yards, 119 receiving yards with 3 TDs.

I remember Titan fans hyping up Chris Johnson all week long heading into that game claiming he was about to break out. Arian out-shined him all game long and Chris Johnson had 10 carries for 18 rushing yards. He was replaced by Ringer in the second half, who did much better than he did.

The Tennessee safeties couldn't cover or tackle much of anything in that game. The middle of the field was wide open.

You do realize this is a list of the best teams in terms of safeties and safeties only right?

Not overall team performance.

All of the Texans fans getting big, acting like Xnoz

You do realize the Tennesse safeties performed horribly in many games last year but you probably didn't see them as much as I did. Danieal Manning was a freakin' beast who broke his leg and still came back from it a month later. Even without Manning I still felt our safeties were better. Glover Quinn excelled changing positions.

Most of these are based on PFF stats, Ryan.

I see. But I still agree with draino. There's a reason to laugh at Titans being 8. But just more fuel to the fire when the two teams play this year. People will keep praising the Titans and over-looking the Texans I'm sure.

LOL? What the hell... who in their right mind praises the Titans?

I haven't ever even seen any Titans fans(aside from that one guy who shows up out of the blue every year and vanishes just as quick) much less anyone praise the Titans.

TJ Ward is primed to make a jump for a spot as an elite safety.

Had an really good rookie season then missed 8 games last season.

People will get upset when I say this but...

When he's focused he's as good as Troy Polamalu.

Part of becoming a veteran is learning to give 100% on every play though.
