Titans CB Malcolm Butler is the Defense’s Delanie Walker In Sunday’s Training Camp Observations
Brian Orakpo Jersey , Titans Senior Writer/Editor, Jim Wyatt, labeled CB Malcolm Butler as “the most noticeable guy the first four days into camp.”If you’ve been keeping up with training camp updates, you’d be inclined to agree.Butler has been the buzz of Titans’ Training camp thus far. Video evidence of Butler’s play-making abilities have made a habit of flooding social media and Twitter timelines.Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY SportsHe has put his closing speed, tenacity and blue-collar work ethic on display each practice. Butler’s trail-technique is sound. He has a firm understanding of where he needs to be throughout a receivers route. For those of you not too familiar with trail-technique, click here for a more detailed description.Super Bowl Absence LingersIn the aftermath of his Super Bowl benching, Butler’s has shifted his focus to his new team and the 2018 season. He’s also stated he has no hard feelings toward his former coach, Bill Belichick - who is also tight-lipped about what transpired. As history shows, Belichick will keep his reasoning under lock and key.After signing a 5-year, $61 million dollar deal with the Titans this offseason, Butler still attacks Training Camp as an undrafted free agent vying to make the roster.It’s that same drive and motivation that makes Butler’s on field energy contagious. A trait he shares with a teammate that plays on the opposite side of the ball.Andrew Nelles-USA TODAY SportsTitans TE Delanie Walker wasn’t undrafted - but he wasn’t selected until the sixth round. He spent a few seasons as the understudy of 49ers TE Vernon Davis, but emerged as a building block and key offensive weapon in Tennessee.What do Walker and Butler have in common? Both had to earn everything that came their way. Walker - like Butler - also attacks Training Camp and offseason work like he is on the roster bubble. It’s that fire that resonates and influences teammates to elevate their work-ethic and competitive nature. The Titans have always had that contributor in the form of Walker on the offensive side of the ball.Now
Ben Jones Jersey , they have it on the defensive side in Butler. Titans first shutout since 2000 keeps playoff hopes alive and well."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Tennessee Titans PodcastWinners and Losers from Titans 17, Giants 0New,106commentsTitans first shutout since 2000 keeps playoff hopes alive and well. ByMike B. Herndon@MikeMiraclesDec 16, 2018,6:03pm CSTShareTweetShareShareWinners and Losers from Titans 17, Giants 0Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY SportsThe Titans defense and Derrick Henry continued their red hot December today with a 17-0 win over the Giants. New York had won four of their last five coming in to this one and had averaged 31.4 points per game over that stretch so this wasn’t the sure thing that the records might have suggested it to be, but the Titans made it look easy on the road. Here are the winners and losers from Titans 17, Giants 0. WinnersDerrick HenryHenry was the Titans offense in this one, rushing for 170 yards and 2 touchdowns on 33 carries a week after going for 238 yards. His 408 yards over the past two games broke Earl Campbell’s franchise record for most rushing yards in back-to-back games.There really isn’t much left to say about Henry that wasn’t said last week. The guy is running like an absolute beast right now and it was good to see the Titans coaches lean on him in a game where the conditions favored the run game. Henry is just 118 yards away from his first 1,000 yard season and it would be a shocker if he didn’t get there at this point. The Offensive LineEver since Quinton Spain got benched — temporarily — at halftime of the Jets game, the Titans offensive line has been mostly excellent. Over the last two games they’ve allowed just two sacks and have cleared the way for 479 yards on the ground. This is the Titans offensive line that we expected to see all season.Kevin Byard The Titans All-Pro safety stuffed the box score in this game with 5 tackles, 1 tackle for loss
http://www.thetitanslockerroom.com/authentic-adam-humphries-jersey , 1 QB hit, 1 sack, 2 passes defensed, and 1 interception. Byard is a monster in the Tennessee secondary and this was one of his best games.Logan RyanLogan Ryan has had a borderline Pro Bowl type year and it continued on Sunday. He picked up his 4th sack on the season and turned in some excellent work in coverage as well. Hopefully the injury that forced him out of the game isn’t serious. The Titans will need him against the Redskins and Colts the next two weeks.Rashaan Evans & Jayon BrownThe matchup of Saquon Barkley against the young Titans linebackers was a landslide in favor of the defenders in this one. Evans and Brown both were effective in limiting the Giants standout rookie to the worst performance of his career. He finished with just 31 yards on 14 carries on the ground and 25 yards on 4 receptions through the air. Dean PeesThe Titans defense pitched their first shutout since 2000 and Pees continues to be a master of disguise in the blitz game. Tennessee limited Eli Manning to under 48% completion percentage and just 5.2 yards per attempt. They also added 3 sacks, 2 turnovers, and an 18.8% 3rd down conversion rate. It was a thoroughly dominant performance from the defense and they’ve now allowed just one offensive touchdown over the past three games. The shutout moves the defense just one point behind the Ravens for the stingiest scoring defense in the NFL.LosersI don’t know that anyone truly belongs here after this game. It wasn’t a perfect performance by any means, but a 17-0 road win over a team that had been playing good football is a really solid performance all around. The Titans passing game didn’t do a ton in this one, but it wasn’t asked to either. Ryan Succop missed a field goal attempt and I didn’t love Mike Vrabel’s decision to punt on 4th and 5 at the Giants 35 just before the half, but I think both of those can largely be explained by the weather. The Titans will now return home for the remainder of the regular season with two must-win games on tap.
