The Saints defense has also been poor. They are allowing 391 yards per game. New corner Jason David has been terrible and the team is giving up way too many big plays.
The Titans come into the game at 1-1 and have looked good so far this season. The Titans are averaging an NFL-best 211.5 yards per game on the ground. "If you can run the football, typically what happens over the course of the year is your scoring efficiency increases and improves, because teams become more and more concerned about the run," head coach Jeff Fisher said. Chris Young has 209 yards so far this season and is complemented by LenDale White and quarterback Vince Young. The Titans had a chance to upset the Colts last week but could not get the final TD. "Anytime the ball's in Vince Young's hands, everyone feels like we're going to win the game,' Titans defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch said, "We were just waiting for something magical to happen.”
The Titans have won three straight against New Orleans including a 27-11 victory in 2003 at New Orleans.
