Mike Montgomery is da Man!

Stop looking at that stat sheet and start watching the film...

The sack... unblocked, just like the Pack did to Kearse on the first play from scrimmage.

Where were the tackles 5-8 yards down the field?

We were GASHED on the run in a legendary poor performance. How can you give this guy kudos for that?

Actually, the stat sheet can be very informative when discussing a specific player's performance. especially the play-by-play summary. Not including the sack for -7, according to the "stat sheet" the Titans gained a total of 25 yards on the plays in which Montgomery had a tackle.

Decent performance by Montgomery on those plays. What it does not tell us is the times he was responsible for longer plays for which he did not have the tackle. However, excluding the one long run of 54 yards (for which Thompson was on the field, not Montgomery), 35 carries for 124 yards is not really being "gashed".

The big problem was that the D caved on the last two possessions by the Titans.

Agreed, with the exception of the one long burst by White I thought the defense played pretty well. A team that runs the ball as much as the Titans is gonna get yards. It wasn't like the Atlanta game where they were able to run for 5 yards every play.

That one long run really made the defense look a lot worse than they actualy were against the run IMO. Coincidentally, this is also what is holding Grant's average back so much. We have no long runs at all, other than Game 1 against the Vikings. It'd be nice to seehim break a 40 yarder.

I have absolutely no problems with Grant if he consistently gets 4 yards per carry, thus moving the chains and chewing up clock. In most cases, I'd rather see a time consuming 15+ play TD drive than a single 60 yard TD run. I'd rather wear the opposing defense out while ours is rested.

since the other errors got corrected....MM was a 6th, not a 7th. AS was jolly...and tom brady.

I was high in MM hoping he would stay healthy and look good, but I have to agree with one thing....ONE game doesn't give me a chubby.

I like Mike Mont. but did no one else see the HUGE blown plays (I watch on and HD-DVR to see the whole game and replay most plays) he made early on.

I think he gets better with experience and played well last week, but got goddamn smoked on some HUGE running plays as the contain DE in the first few games where he had a chance to play.

Snake's Take:

MM will be pretty good maybe, he's gonna be an UFA this year (playing for a new deal...hopefully nothing insane), but has much to prove like KGB always had to...can he stop the run. NOPE. Is he a good pass-rusher at the same size, yes, he's above average. He needs to maintain consistency. But that comes with reps.
