Bringing Back the Run and Shoot-A Titans Dynasty

2008 Final Titans Statistics

Most of the numbers were normal except for Calais Campbell. The most I've ever gotten with him is 10 sacks, yet somehow this year he got 33! I don't see any reason he maintains that level of production next year.

I think I'm using that one too (or was, I haven't actually played a game in a long time, though I'm coming back! Just made it through the draft, rekindled my love a bit haha), I had some pretty decent results too with it.

2009 Coaching Staff

If anyone wants to make a good coaching staff a lot better, I highly recommend they get the special skill Superb Strategist. It will increase you HC's Strategy skill by 2 ranks, you subordinate coach's Strategy skill by 1 rank, increase the potential of your subordinate coaches by 1 for both regular AND development skills. I just got it with my HC and here are the results. Now all I have to do is keep this staff together.

HC Michael Smith-Overall 27-Performance 3, Strategy 5, all other skills 1. Special Skills-Speed Training, Strength Training, Disciplined Routine, Game Film Analysis, Gameplan Analysis, Innovator, and Superb Strategist.

2009 Zazzali Draft

It went about as expected. There were a couple surprises, like the Colts trading up at 18 to pick DT Leroy Young( a 2nd rounder at best). Last time around all the QBs(including Zazzali) seemed to end up as backups, it'll be interesting to see how much playing time Zazzali and Essex get. I traded up in the 1st round this time. The UNLV LEs have more potential than RE Kyle Vanden Bosch, so I felt I could trade him away.

Trades-traded RE Kyle Vanden Bosch, HB Lendale White, and 2010 7th for the 1-29 pick-forget the team.
