Kenny Britt Injury: Tennessee Titans Offense Will Fall off a Cliff Without Him

Eric BallSep 26, 2011

Sure, your team is 2-1 after beating the Broncos 17-14 on Sunday...but this will be the last time your team is over .500.

With Kenny Britt potentially being out for the season with a torn MCL, the offense is going straight down the gutter.

He was a breakout star in the first two weeks of the season. He stretched the field and kept defenses honest, opening up the entire playbook.

Instead, opponents can now zero-in on a struggling Chris Johnson and force a bunch of unproven receivers to make game-breaking plays. Nate Washington would be a terrific third receiver. However, as a No. 1, he is going to struggle to get separation from their opponents' top corner.

Did I mention they are 30th in the league in rushing yards after three weeks?

The other receivers on the team include Lavelle Hawkins, Damian Williams and tight ends Craig Stevens and Jared Cook.

Wow.

Then there is Matt Hasselbeck.

The 36-year old was really building something special with Britt, but now has to throw to a bunch of inexperienced young guys that have never had much success in the NFL.

He won't be taking as many shots down the field and will rely on lots of screens to Johnson (who dropped three of them on Sunday).

The defense is one of the better units in the league, but they can't do it all. In a very winnable AFC South, the injury to Britt was the one thing they couldn't afford.

Expect the over/under totals for Titans games to plummet and expect Tennessee to become one of the more boring teams to watch in the NFL.

Tough break for Britt and the Titans.
