Titans Must Reduce Errors
Tennessee have watched the equivalent of seven touchdowns and conversion points taken off their tally this season - due to penalties. They prepare to visit the as yet unbeaten Colts on Sunday.
"Every time we score a touchdown now we kind of tend to look around and make sure there are no flags and then we celebrate and get happy," right tackle Michael Roos said. Indeed if you have been watching that has been a sad case in fact.
In truth, not all the penalties and disallowed touchdowns have come at crucial moments and would not have been game-deciders - nevertheless a touchdown is a touchdown especially when they are seemingly hard to come by for the team in general.
It seems that that coach Fischer's message on flags hasn't been received - which is doubly disappointing due to the fact that much of the blame for penalties lies with the seasoned campaigners and not the rookies.
Brad Hopkins has nine accepted penalties, Pacman Jones has eight. Olson and Kinney, are next with five.
Fisher stated that all he could do was to keep telling them and keep reminding them. He will need to make sure it sinks in before the Colts games later today.
The Titans are getting +15.5 on the football betting spreads at the time of writing.
