fishface would not have done it, but I agree with @2ToneBlueBlood make the change tomorrow and let them pratice that way. Zero chance it is worse than sunday. Titans will be seeing heavy blitzing till they start making teams pay for doing it
and sucked at it terriblyWow, I knew Poutasi had a bad day, but I just saw a stat from PFT that said he surrendered 4 of our 7 sacks. That's just not going to get it done and they need to look at that and get it fixed. I wonder if Meredith would be better out there at RT and moving Poutasi to guard while Warmack is out, then moving Bell back out to RT. At least Bell has played tackle in the NFL before.
What did mccluster get like 10 yards on it. ..McCluster sure is a small FB then
Im not talking about that play to Fowler.
Bell was horrible at RT too. The move to LG was surprisingly a good call by Whiz.
I thought Meridith held his own when he played tackle during the preseason but that is during 2nd and 3rd stringers.

True. The warnings was there so cut him already!27 fumbles in 41 games at Oregon for Mariota. If a RB fumbled at that rate he'd be on the bench. Can't have the guy who handles the ball every snap just putting it on the ground with the most innocuous contact possible.
Just sucks that we had to lose to Johnny Douchebag
One game. Again, the Titans ran into a buzz saw or a team that was playing very angry and was very motivated from the week before after losing to the Jets.
This next week will be interesting because you have two angry teams walking into Nissan Stadium and eager to put an end to their losing streaks. This much I think. Marcus and the entire team play much better.
That's not the case. He did not have wide open receivers all the time at Oregon. I believe he has shown that he can threat the needle when he has to.You're incorrect more than you think here. Mariota is not used to making throws in tight windows. Therefore he doesn't think someone is open because he is so used to seeing his wrs wide open all the time in college. In the nfl he's not going to have easy throws all the time. He's going to have to take the risk of putting it in right windows. I think he's so concerned with not throwing an int its causing him to get sacked more than he should.
Take a page from the PATS....run 5 wide(of course some of our wide would be TE's so...) from the start you limit how many rushers can come. Most would be 6 instead of 7-8 which happened a lot Sunday. PATS passed nearly 70 times sunday vs the Bills...another blitz happy team. Now I am not saying pass 70 times but if a team insists on blitzing (and as GoT said "until we make them pay for it they will) then you have to take advantage of soft spots in the D that blitzing opens up. Now when you do this several things happen...the D rush is obviously slowed, the D has to cover man to man for the most part(assuming our WR can get any separation is a key) and with MM running ability he could just take off when the DB's backs are turning in coverage. This isn't rocket surgery people.
Sunday was a weird day, Jags won, Skins won, Raiders won, pretty much all the underdogs won, even the Bucs found their way to a win.....

How would it be for the whole league to even out at 8-8, all 32 teams lol

Yea I didn't realize the ravens secondary is that bad. Carr had a field day with them. Did not expect that.
He looked rattled and not very accurate.That's not the case. He did not have wide open receivers all the time at Oregon. I believe he has shown that he can threat the needle when he has to.
MM settled down well. Did not handle the early Cleveland intensity.
I dont know what can be done regarding the fumbles. That was not pretty at all

He sucked at LT, RT he was decent. I have lots of family in Carolina, they hated him last year because he was at LT but thought he was ok on the right side.and sucked at it terribly
Well he's playing Guard now soooHe sucked at LT, RT he was decent. I have lots of family in Carolina, they hated him last year because he was at LT but thought he was ok on the right side.
Switch Bell and Poutasi, that was my point from earlier soooo...Well he's playing Guard now sooo
I thought you watched preseason game 1. Remember he got schooled by the sorry ass Falcons DE's at RT... He's only good at Guard because inside D-Lineman are slower, and he fills the gap between Center and Tackle better than holding it down on the edge..He sucked at LT, RT he was decent. I have lots of family in Carolina, they hated him last year because he was at LT but thought he was ok on the right side.
Yea getting your chin busted open on the opening drive will do that to you. Mariota was under pressure all day, anyone would be rattled..He looked rattled and not very accurate.
