#7 The Tennessee Titans

Last year's last undefeated team, the Titans open up tonight against the defending NFL Champs in what is sure to be a defensive slugfest. Chris Johnson was a beast last year, but the knockout punch came from LenDale White as the two rushed for a combined 2,001 yards. Kerry Collins threw for another 2,676. If I have ever seen a more balanced team with this decent a defense, it might lost to the 08 Titans. The 09 version returns with the biggest question mark:

Who replaces Albert Haynesworth. Answer: No one.

At first glance, this is not a difficult schedule.

Easy wins? Jax, 49ers, Bills, Rams Dolphins, Seahawks...and I guess the Jets too. There's 7 wins, and knowing this team, they can take out most of the harder teams, but the biggest question stands - how will the team rebound without big Al in the backfield?

I see an obvious step backwards, but maybe more of a leap to 9-7.
