08:04 AM ET 10.05 | A day after Kyle Orton called them "cheap," Josh McDaniels and Jeff Fisher traded barbs about where the Titans stood on a scale between aggressive and dirty. "There's a way to play tough and physical without being excessive and playing dirty after the snap," McDaniels said. "There's a lot of teams in this league that play like that. Tough and physical but also within the rules." Titans Coach Jeff Fisher had a different opinion on Monday. "We play aggressive -- we don't play cheap," Fisher said. "If there's things after the whistle or during the play, players are fined for them. But we're not a cheap football team. ... I'd like to see them play harder, play more aggressive."

Whatever. Arguing this point is just a pissing contest anyway.

It's funny how some very highly respected coaches (Shanahan and Fisher) are pretty close friends and have little trouble with doing things that are either right at the edge of the rules, but a wrong thing to do (Shanahan with the designed crack back blocks below that waist that were injuring defensive players before they banned them) or tolerates overly aggressive defenses that slip into cheap shot fouls (Fisher). People tend to take this football thing pretty seriously and will do just about anything to win.

McDaniels need to worry more about his offensive game planning going forward. It's unrealistic to think Orton can continue throwing 40+ times every game, especially with the weather changing, regardless of their lack of (or unwillingness to) running the ball.

They're just trying to emulate the Colts!
Actually, I agree. The injuries have had a lot to do with it. Last week was the first time the projected starting O-line actually started, but Moreno didn't play and they were using Maroney. This isn't the zone blocking, plug in any running back and he'll gain 1000 yard any more Broncos. They're transitioning to a bigger, road grader type offensive line and, obviously, that work isn't done yet.

The Titans put some serious hits on him and to his credit he bounced right back after each one but you are right. He won't last the season slinging it that many times every week.

It costs a lot of cap space to look that cheap.

Sorry Jeff, there is a consensus in the NFL that your team is a collection of cheap shot artists and I happen to be one of those folks who have seen it. The Titans have had a chip on their shoulder when it comes to playing the Patriots and we N. E. fans saw how Tennessee stepped over the line on many occasions during their games. That combined with some of the more celebrated incidents that weren't against New England make it easy to see for most people.
I have to admit that I like a defense that is mean and tough, but the extracurricular BS that is a staple of the team is cheesy.

Yep, they're emulating the Colts, alright. Right down to our current .500 record...
