I've seen both of the Titans games. They ran the ball a ton in both games (Henry had 31 carries and 25 carries respectively) but not real effectively. Tannehill carved up Jacksonville's defense about the same way Fitzpatrick did.
The big difference is that Tennessee's pass rush was just pretty much absent both against Denver and against Jacksonville. Miami's defense looked a lot better tonight than Tennessee did in week 2.

IIRC, it took MIA about half the season to get their shit together. And no one had a preseason, plus I noticed that MIA was playing several rookies tonight. Maybe it just took MIA a couple games to figure out how to play defense. The one thing I've noticed about Flores is that he seems to be able to make chicken salad . . .
