I'm a fan.  Which means that as soon as one victory is notched, next week's game starts to worry me.  I started thinking about the Titans game during the second quarter of the Seahawks games.  Sad, but true.  By that point it was already pretty clear the Colts would be 4-0 heading into a Sunday night game against the 0-4 and reeling Titans.  I immediately thought about Jeff Fisher, and how he's the last coach I'd want to face in an end-of-the-world scenario.  Jeff Fisher doesn't give a crap.  His only motivation is to win.  He doesn't worry about being fired or what the press will say.

In 2004, I sat in my RCA Dome seat aghast as Fisher's team kicked onsides three times in the first quarter of a game.  The Titans later faked a punt.  I was furious.  I was scared.  I was impressed.

And that's why I won't sleep well Saturday night.  Jeff Fisher was born to survive the apocalypse.  Can the Titans be beaten?  Yes, obviously.  But the Colts will have to pass a test first.  The Titans secondary is banged up and playing badly.  It will be tough to beat the Colts playing straight up.  Which means Jeff Fisher is going to do something crazy on Sunday.  Something crazy smart.

Here are some brainstormed ideas of what we might see (it won't be any of these):

1.  Jeff Fisher will go for it on every fourth down fewer than five yards.

2.  Jeff Fisher will bench Chris Johnson and throw on every down.

3.  Jeff Fisher will punt on first down.

4.  Jeff Fisher will let Vince Young step onto the football field.

5.  Jeff Fisher will shoot taze Peyton Manning.

DZ COMMENTS:  You have to think we'll see VY in a wildcat set up, right?  That's going to happen for sure.  He sucks, but he always played better against the Colts.

Ha. Taze Peyton? Never. You'd need a freaking Elephant rifle to take down Peyton.

I said this a few times already on SB, but VY in the Wildcat is a good thing. For us.

Young is too big a pussy to run up the middle the way the Dolphins did, and even if he does, I'm not seeing how that's that helpful.

When the Fins run the wildcat, it's a well designed smash you in the f**king face play with exceptional blocking. For everyone else, it's a misdirection gimmick. The former works. The latter is stupid. VY can run options out to the side all he wants, and assuming our LBs play well, we'll kick their ass every time they try it. Any carry that VY takes instead of Chris Johnson is a big, big, big plus for our side.

Bring it on. The more Young, the better.

On a serious note, Willy is right. The 'Phins implemented the Wildcat to direct more plays at their linemen and get more blockers in on things. Between Long and having an extra person there to block, they are able to make it successful.

But other teams? It's a copycat changeup, nothing more.

I predict we'll see

Both VY and Rob "Colt Killer" 60 yards and a cloud of stomach acid Bironas in the backfield at the smae time. What they'll do there is anybody's guess,including Fisher's.

I agree--more VY and less CJ makes for happy Colts fans.

lol. Bironas in the backfield. I'd be freaked out about this game if I wasn't so curious to see what they'll do.
