no need to start in shotgun when you need that short of distance. Should have snuck it. He never goes quick on Short to gains. Always a delay that gives the d line time to penetrate. The way Downing calls games makes no sense
One thing I noticed last night was Fulton’s demeanor on the field. Guy always looks like a cross between defeated and doesn’t care if he’s there in between plays. Was really concerning to see.
Robinson is Executive Vice President as well as GM…..though not the “god” some make him out to be…..he is not going anywhere. (Remember, he is the one who gave Tannehill his big contract that has screwed us.)
Robinson and Vrable have the same personality….smart and super arrogant. That is not completely working out right now but next year will be Robinson, Vrable, Tannehill, and Downing. Everyone should just go ahead and prepare yourself for that.
Insanity= Doing the same things over and over and expecting a different result.
On that missed tackle he had on Chase where he over pursued, Midget had him on full blast right after.
I’m not part of the JRob is god crowd, but he’s never struck me as arrogant.
This loss stings more than the Baltimore one in 09 because we lost CJ2K and I knew generating offense without him was going to be difficult. And to add to that, right before Tannehill threw the game losing INT, in a matter of seconds, it went from our kicker warming up to their kicker warming up.
I hope you are correct Junior
Yeah, obviously the Wilson pick was a huge bust. And he wasn’t originally thought to be a high risk pick. He just melted down.
But when people start talking about replacing Jrob, to me that’s crazy talk. Is there room for improvement, of course. But no way we ditch Jrob.
First of all, who would we get that could be better? And the fact of the matter is as a whole he has been phenomenal at building this roster to the point that we are constantly a top team in the NFL. He was also able to build enough depth that we were #1 seed after fielding a record 91 players with the most injuries in history. No other team has been able to find success under those type of challenges.
Yea.. that’s you and you don’t own an NFL franchise. Vrabel is a very good HC ( might even be coach of the year) and he IS going to be the Titans HC “ for a while “.
Posters on a message board making shit up about Schwartz being hired against Vrabels wishes which is not even remotely true. That’s just doesn’t happen in the NFL . Vrabel actually spoke on this when Schwartz was hired. Vrabel hired him, period. I don’t know where some of y’all come up with this crap.
Ok. We don't disagree at all. I've never advocated replacing JRob. My big schtick is always about accountability. That's how an organization, a coach, a player etc get better. People who categorically want to overlook JRob's mistakes while only praising his successes are a hindrance to accountability. And those folks are the ones that keep on pressing that JRob is elite.
That’s tough because I like Vrabel, but I’d keep JRob over Vrabel. We saw the GMs the previous 10 years, it’s not easy to find and JRob has built a winning franchise by personnel.
Vrabel has had a ton of questionable coaching decisions and that includes the coaching assistance he has around him.
JRob is better than his predecessors, but there are guys in the NFL right now who are better talent evaluators than he is. Coaches like Vrabel are hard to find. He might be one of a kind. I’ve never seen a team play so hard so consistently. Unfortunately we always seem to have one issue that keeps us from being a complete team. This year it was Downing.
You’re adding multiple people into the conversation now. Do we need a better scouting team? I think that absolutely can be argued because “talent evaluator” is not 100% on JRob. For college prospects, I’d argue it’s largely not him.
The idea that some “better” guys are out there doesn’t mean you don’t have someone that can reach the pinnacle, one of those selections is available, and you’re willing to risk a likely downgrade possibility.
With what I’ve seen JRob do with this franchise, I think he’s in the conversation of best among the league but that’s difficult to compare all the way around.
One of the absolute undefinable pieces for any GM is what players are available. You cannot always get THE top players available while also fighting those that aren’t available. So getting the best of what is available is what a GM is trying to do while still managing a salary cap.
There are zero perfect Gm’s. The term “elite” should be gone entirely when referring to GM since it’s impossible to quantify anyway. Product on the field is the best judgement. Titans are winning against most.
All that said, I agree a Vrabel is tough to find. I want to keep both but whoever is deciding the coordinator positions, as of right now, I’d say they are my choice to go first if forced to pick. I think that’s Vrabel.
If the Titans were serious about winning a superbowl instead of just being the top dog in the AFC South they'd send Tannehill and some picks to Seattle for Russell Wilson. If you have a QB like Tannehill you will inevitably be stuck second guessing and knit picking plays that cost you the game instead of discussing how he was able to overcome great plays by the opposition to win.
The fans showed up in a way last night that’s more than they could ever ask for. But it’s hard to ask them to keep showing up when you can’t win a playoff game at home in 2 decades.
Why would Seattle want Tannehill and to be stuck with him the way we are now? No team is going to take on his contract. He 100% will be the Titans QB next season. This isn’t Madden.
