Cornerback Jason McCourty is in his eighth season with the Titans, which means he’s been part of one winning team over the course of his career.
At 3-3 after the first six weeks of this year, the Titans look like they have a chance to increase that number to two. They’re taking a two-game winning streak into this weekend’s game against the Colts and it’s one that they feel like they can win, which McCourty says represents a big change from past seasons.
“I’m very optimistic and excited,” McCourty said, via the Tennessean. “Good things lie ahead. You go into every game right now and you feel like, ‘Hey, we should win this game.’ We’re prepared. ... That’s the reason we play this game -- to make it to the tournament, and to try to win games once you get in it. It would mean everything. It would mean all those seven years prior that you put into it were worth it.”
McCourty has played a role in changing the outlook for the Titans this year. He’s healthy after missing 12 games last year due to a groin injury that required a couple of surgeries and has 11 passes defensed, which leaves him four off his career high with 10 games left to play in the year. Head coach Mike Mularkey said McCourty looks like a different guy compared to last year and that may help make for a long-awaited different result to the season.
