The Tennessee Titans have a tough task ahead of them in Week 4 in the Cincinnati Bengals and if they hope to finally beat Joe Burrow and crew, they will need to break their own tendencies and play a different kind of football.
Updated September 28, 2023 9:51 AMThe Tennessee Titans saw an aggressive defensive front from the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. They are in for more of the same in Week 4 as the Cincinnati Bengals have used a similar attacking style when they have faced the Titans in recent years.
The Bengals have a perfect plan to stop the Titans that has led to only 52 total points being scored by the Titans' offense in the previous three matchups between these teams. Doing the same thing perpetually and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.For that, the Titans need to play this game spread out with three wide receivers on the field and a healthy dose of rookie running back Tyjae Spears. Replace the inside, heavy runs with traps and quick draws out of shotgun.
For the last few seasons, the Titans focused on getting teams to load the box so they could create explosive plays in the passing game, but that approach is simply not working anymore. Teams know how to deal with it too well. Simply put, if the Titans try to"play their game" against the Bengals, they will play into their hand. Spread it out, play out of shotgun and render the Bengals' original plan useless.
