\nThrown into the starters role against Houston in Week 8, Zach Mettenberger looked miscast for much of the first half in a loss to Houston.<\/p>\n

The second half against the Texans was a different story as Mettenberger was 20-of-28 for 237 yards and two touchdowns. Of course the game was well out of hand by then and even with that stat-line the Titans only managed 13 points in the second half.<\/p>\n

With a bye week under his belt the Texans are hoping that Mettenberger and their offense can come to light in a Week 10 match-up against Baltimore.<\/p>\n

“Getting the time during the bye week was good, because like I said, we got a lot of plays,” Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said via The Tennessean<\/a>. “(Mettenberger) got the majority of those, which is invaluable, and hopefully that’ll help us as we go forward.”<\/p>\n

Whisenhunt knows that Sunday’s game in Baltimore against the Ravens will be no cake-walk for Mettenberger, even with an extra week of plays under his belt.<\/p>\n

“This is going to be a tough situation, because this is a tough place to play. This will be the first game where he’s had to deal with the noise … and hopefully having gotten a week of work in as the starter, having played in a game, will help him be better prepared for that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
