Brad St. Louis are showing why the Bengals used their sixth and seventh draft picks on them. Coverage teams continue to improve. Average start on kickoffs is 34.4-yard line, league's best. Not much pressure on the quarterback. End John Copeland had a sack and fumble recovery last week against Miami.
Titans are sixth in the league against the run.
Held strong Giants running game to 24 yards last week and are allowing opponents to convert only 28 percent of third-down plays. Bengals Rookie Armegis Spearman continues to make plays that come his way. Outside linebacker Takeo Spikes is having a Pro Bowl season compensating for loss of starter Brian Simmons in middle. Middle linebacker Randall Godfrey, signed as a free agent from Dallas, leads the Titans in tackles with 42 and played big role in limited Giants running backs to eight yards rushing last week. If cornerback Artrell Hawkins falter again, Rodney Heath will play.
