The Titans will be one of the best teams to play with in Madden NFL 2011. If you are looking for a great running team who can also efficiently pass the ball, in my opinion the Titans are the way to go. This all starts with arguably the best back in the game/NFL, Chris Johnson, who clocks in at a 99 speed on the game. He has all the right things to be great in this game, but they don’t come without at least 1 risk. CJ2K clocks in with a 99 speed and acceleration with a 97 agility to go along with that as well as 95 plus in just about everything that matters for a running back. His only downfall, if I had to say one would be the 85 stamina he has. Maybe its just me but I think that’s a realistic thing as no athlete can keep up that kind of speed the whole game. Some will think once they see this maybe not to play with them after all as they don’t have a back up since LenDale White is no longer on the team but that’s where they are wrong.

Not to fear Blount is here! Yes LeGarrette Blount is more than a serviceable, limited down back. He clocks in at a 65 overall with a 83 speed and a 92 acceleration with a 88 truck and a monster 92 stiff arm. This makes the Titans’ run game almost unstoppable to stop.

Vince Young adds to the run game as well. He is one on the fastest QBs on the game and just maybe the only running QB who can actually throw. Vince clocks in at a 79 overall with a 85 speed and a 90 acceleration, 89 throw power, 81 throw short, 76 throw medium, and 72 throw deep. This adds the deadly play action pass to the Titan arsenal. And it makes it that much better when your receiving core is led by young up and comer Kenny Britt who has a 82 overall with a monster 94 catch in traffic. Now how’s that for an offense?

Now on to the defense and this is where the Titans have all of their struggles as a team on Madden. With the departure of veteran linebacker Keith Bullock (not confirmed, but for now it is), this year’s line backing group is led by new acquisition Will Witherspoon who clocks in at a 82 overall. With the others not being so great or even smart, nonetheless, the Titans have some speed at LB, and if previous Madden’s are any indications that’s all that will matter (speed).

The defensive line is fast as well and is led by defensive tackle Tony Brown who clocks in as a 82 overall and first round pick Derrick Morgan who clocks in at a 79 overall.

Now the secondary, that’s where everything gets a little scary. Yes, you have pro bowl and 92 overall Courtland Finnegan to shut down number 1 receivers across the game, but after that there is nothing real special. Especially at the secondary cornerback. You have the choice between Tye Hill, who is one of the fastest cornerbacks in the game, or Roderick Hood who is your standard balanced corner. In my opinion Tye Hill is the clear winner with his speed and acceleration.

On the other hand for all you safety users the Titans have Mike Griffin, who was one of the best safeties in the game not too long ago and still is a solid one. He clocks in at a 86 overall and though not the fastest, he still can cover, and a good thing about him is his 75 catch rating. On the flip side you have 84 overall Chris Hope who to was one of the best safeties in the game when the Titans went 13 and 3. He, too, is not fast at all but he can hit, clocking in at a 85 hit power. Now this is no where near the best defense in the game but it is manageable.

Prediction: I predict as time goes on the Titans will be one of the more popular teams used on the game.
