Titans will test run defense

Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan agreed that his team, especially in the defensive backfield, had a poor tackling day against the Steelers. He said part of the problem was that the players refused to wrap up and some of them took bad angles. But another part of the problem is that some of those guys on the back end are banged up and fragile. With running backs LenDale White and Chris Johnson coming to town Sunday, you can expect to see a lot of rushing attempts by the Titans and quite a few tosses around the corner to see if the cornerbacks come up quickly in run support.
