Coach Bruce Todd said, “The Titans struggled on offense, executing their offense but at crucial times throughout the contest dropping too many passes and allowing the defense to slip off their blocks too easily. Defensively, the Titans executed poorly, as well, as they missed too many tackles, had poor pass coverage and allowed the opponents to create large of lanes to run through. It definitely wasn’t our best performance of the season on either side of the ball. The Titans have three league games remaining to tighten things up and work on the execution of their offense and defense prior to heading into the playoffs. We need all eight players on the field at any given time to step up and play to their potential for the remainder of the season. We (as an entire unit) need to play more consistently on both sides of the ball.”
