"Even though we are 5-0, we're always trying to find ways to get better," linebacker Keith Bulluck said. "When you're 5-0 and you're finding things that aren't going right, that's always a positive thing. The coaches don't necessarily have to tell us what's wrong. We can already figure out what's wrong and try to get better at it."

Defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth agrees. He sees a defense that ranks fifth in yards allowed and has given up the fewest points (56) through five games, but estimates the unit has played at only 75 percent of its potential.

"We just have to put a complete game together. Then you will see a dominant defense," Haynesworth said.

So that's what coach Jeff Fisher has his Titans thinking about during their bye week even as he gives some of his veterans time to rest and others to heal up before visiting Kansas City (1-4) on Oct. 19. Fisher wants to see longer plays offensively, better blocking, longer returns out of his special teams and improved tackling.

Also the Titans resigned QB Chris Sims after releasing him a few days earlier.
