On 3rd and 5, Ryan Tannehill scrambled out of the pocket and beyond the line of scrimmage. When he went around a Colts defender needing only 2 more yards, I though for sure that he was going to get the 1st down ...... but out of nowhere came Franklin, hitting Tannehill head-on and taking him down 2 yards short of the line to gain.

Before the start of the Titans game, I said that I didn't think that Leonard should be playing because of the fact that he was not yet 100% healthy (by his own admission), and I didn't want him to reaggravate the back injury that has taken him so long to rehabilitate ...... I wanted Leonard for the long run, and if that meant him missing the Titans game plus a couple of more games after that, then that is what Reich should have done (kept him on the bench for his own long-term welfare.) As a humanitarian, I don't like to see anybody get a concussion, but strictly as a football fan that is thinking in terms of his value to the team, the fact that the concussion has nothing to do with his back surgery is a good thing ...... and if the concussion keeps him out of the next 2 or 3 games, that may be the best thing for him in the long run. Again, I would not have had him playing at all on Sunday in the first place, but that wasn't my decision. I'm just glad that his continued recovery from the back surgery wasn't set back at all.
