our offense didn't look good no matter who was running it. To me this goes back to Chow.
Where is our season headed?
On 3rd downs Billy Volek went 6/7. Pretty good hey? Well only 1 of those 6 completions went for a first down, and that was because Troupe did a great job breaking a tackle when he had no right to turn that play into a 1st down.
Billy might put up some decent numbers this year and I'm sure he'll hit his share of big plays, but he won't win us many games. With our defense, we need the offense to stay on the field and put together long drives if we are going to be competitive. Lendale proved he could convert on 3rd and short, but if we are 3rd and 3 or beyond, Heintrich better get ready.
Billy won't win more than 2 of his 8 starts before he is riding the pine.

Just got home...another pathetic performance by the Titans. The biggest sign of weakness was kicking the field goal on 2nd and 10 with 10 seconds on the clock.
That 3 we took was nothing...zippo...left 6 seconds on the clock. Pathetic.
Call it preseason all you want...but we got used. Top rusher was Henry....17 runs for 18 yards???? Yet we give up almost 200 to two RBs??
Yeah...preseason....

If we dish this up in the regular season, then they may as well declare the whole team has a week-to-week heartlige injury. Absolutely no ticker.

can't blame Volek if the receivers don't go past the 1st down marker
Volek had the tight end running down the middle wide open on several plays and never saw him...he was staring guys down tonight.

Most of these were dump offs to hs backs. The receivers were running down field. My view - Billy doesn't have the mental strength to take the risks he needs to take in the clutch.
I don't know about that. He best throws was when he was going down field.
I still have doubts about the Chow offense more than anything else.

While I was watching the game, the commentators were chalking up the lack of success on the offense to Chow's system, while on D they were saying nothing about us getting it like Cell block D from Schwartz. I think everybody in Tennessee is just in denial, and refuses to think that Schwartz is the problem. I saw no improvement over the course of the week, and you can say we didn't gameplan again or it's only preseason; and I'll say we shouldn't have to gameplan to stop the run, pathetic.

yeah Billy didn't play well tonight, he made some plays that were nice, but he also made bonehead plays like throwing into double coverage a number of times, even when there was no immediate pressure on him. I actually thought he didn't look comfortable in the pocket, the total opposite to Young really; I wonder if he doesn't trust his O-line...

Yeah and the next excuse we're going to hear is probably that Chow doesn't keep the defence off the field long enoug, so they're tired and therefore get run over :sad2:
Ewker said:
Not at all. I'm just surprised Vince looks so relaxed in the pocket... maybe because he knows he can run if it breaks down and Billy knows he's a sitting duck
