big2033 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I think this is one of the biggest problems with our team right now and could hurt our young QB if it doesn't change. http://espn.go.com/blog/tennessee-titans/post/_/id/10880/run-stuggles-stunting-the-titans-as-much-as-any-facet-of-the-team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Bingo - the problem with this team isn't what they accidentally got right. It's where they set out to fix and failed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizzyeddie Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 don't think the titans will ever be a running team under Wiz. I think Sankey fits this offense well cause he doesn't put the passing game in compromising conditions and this offense will flourish with the passing game if it's gonna flourish.

If that's the case not putting the passing game in compromising positions is averaging 5 yards per carry. Edited November 24, 2014 by big2033 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were playing some 6 man line yesterday (adding in Stingily) before we fell behind too much and Lewan got hurt. Likely related to Thompson's injury. Pounding the ball was definitely part of the game plan but the score got away from us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I think it matters on both sides of the ball too to be honest. The offense still scored enough points to win the game even after being completely shut down for much of the first half. The problem is, the defense can't stop anyone and the offense was making a ton of mistakes trying to keep them in the game. Mett has to get better but he's a rookie who is not very mobile playing behind a below average offensive line. I believe he is the QBOF and will solve a lot of problems in the future but that doesn't mean you expect a rookie QB to turn things around. The team is bad. They need a bigger line, corners who can stay with their man for more than five yards, a safety that can tackle, LBs that can shed blocks, a STs unit that isn't embarrassing, three or possibly even four upgrades on the offensive line, a big power back, a blocking TE, a prototypical #1 WR, a young kicker with a big leg, a GM that can put all of this together and a coaching staff that knows what to do with it.

N/A Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Food for thought: The Titans would probably be better team right now had it drafted Mettenberger in the 2nd instead of 6th - No sankey and whatever RB the team did get might very well be much better.

tgo Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'm worried that the bad run game and Lewan/Schwenke' going down for any long period will hold him back a little at least in terms of results. Hopefully it doesn't mess with his development too much. Hammer 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

big2033 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) At first I could argue that Sankey wasn't getting the ball enough. But if he's as talented as they say he'd have some big runs in a low-carry game regardless. He's not making any big plays. I'll never close the door on a rookie but he just doesn't look great AT ALL right now. Edited November 24, 2014 by big2033 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
