Never celebrate injuries (unless its to a Packer and then we celebrate the Packers losing a guy NOT that the guy got hurt....its a fine line that I walk just perfectly....Unless its Rodgers, I might dance a jig if he goes down tonight,)
3) The Titans ran left(behind Latham/Skoronski) and had lots of success, especially with Austin Booker in the game. Too many defenders were shooting up the field versus resisting pressure to create smaller gaps.
This is what his weakness was when we drafted him. I seriously doubt if he will be playing with any frequency in a base defense for us this season. And I expect that our opponents' offensive game plan will be to exploit this weakness when he is in the game.
While he has a lot of pass rush skill and can get penetration very quickly, he gets blown away when he needs to set an edge and/or play against a big OT when they run right at him. He really needs seasoning and an offseason in an NFL strength training program.

I still remember the Eagles-Bears playoff game during the Jauron era where the combo of Taylor and Washington completely shut down running games and helped the Bears to the #1 DEF ranking. And then Andy Reid in the playoffs said to himself: We are going to pass when Washington is in and run when he is out. Destroyed the Bears that game.
