nine Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I'm sure the coaching staff has a base philosophy that will provide a foundation...but unlike the two previous regimes, this coaching staff didn't come in with preconceived system or a playbook already in hand. They reviewed the roster and assessed the talent at their disposal, and they're tailoring their playbook around the talent that's available. Consider the Titans' personnel on offense: the Titans have one of the league's better O-lines, one of the top TE corps, and a pair of talented and versatile running backs. On the downside, Marcus is talented but struggles with consistency and the WR corps is young and unproven. It seems to me the roster is tailor-made for a run-oriented offense with a lot of 2TE sets and liberal use of play-action passing. I'm also anticipating the RB position will have a significant role in the passing game....far moreso than we've seen in recent years. It's entirely possible that they'll look to open things up more over the next couple years as Marcus and the WR corps become more established...but at this point the roster really doesn't support it.

Popular Post nine Posted July 30, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 It's also worth noting that when McVay and LeFleur took over in LA, they inherited a roster that was largely devoid of talent on offense aside from Todd Gurley. Not surprisingly, Gurley ended up being the centerpiece of their entire offensive scheme as he led the team both in rushing and in pass receptions. LeFleur has a lot more to work with and build around this year....two excellent RBs, an all-world TE, and an experienced veteran QB. He also has a WR with explosive ability and one of the best O-lines in the league. Last year, LeFleur and McVay turned mediocre talent into one of the league's top offenses. LeFleur is flying solo this year, but he has a LOT more talent to work with...and I expect he'll be taking full advantage of it.

Mythos27 Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Henry himself said he gained weight so he is heavier. However, he set out to cut fat and add muscle so while he's heavier he's also thiand more muscular. I hope that the new weight doesn't cut into his speed but this is a nice indication that he intends to be an even more physical runner this season. Hopefully most of the muscle went to those skinny ass legs lol. Number9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number9 Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 19 hours ago, Huston said: And a better one still from that same article. Taylor Lewan read from the same script as Jones. "I can't really put percentages on it, I was a general studies major in college," he said. "The technique is a lot different. I think there is a lot... of different things. I think when you run any offense, all the plays are always in there. We had all the plays in the last offense, the only difference is we are running more of other plays, we are running more of one play than we were another play." The media can often overplay symbolism. Most OC's don't install their entire offense immediately. They also will use the old calls to help players not have to learn new verbiage for the same play.

Popular Post smokeater Posted July 30, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) Lots of talk about coaches and coordinators all running similar offenses which is true in the simplest sense. Where an OC/Head Coach earn their money is appropriate game planning for each team and then in game adjustments, the latter being where a lot of posters had issues with the previous regime, i.e. running the same play ad nauseam just because you think it "should" work, or at least that was the perception. The art of coordinating/coaching lies in the ability to know when to stop doing what your doing because it isn't working and then adjust correctly to what will work, taking advantage of found weaknesses. Also, knowing when taking a risk is worth the reward and when is the right time to be conservative. BB is a master at that shit and Jrob is hoping some if it wore off on MV.

He said that "Yes" his verbiage is quite different and he's using it, but if the consensus is the players are all use to the same different verbage then they (coaching) are the ones that will learn/use new verbiage. Blew my mind that we have a OC that #1) spoke intelligently and #2) was willing to admit he's the odd man out and it's easier for him to change/adjust. Novel concept to adapt coaching/plays/philosophy to your players instead of pounding square pegs into "your" round holes. (pounding holes was for you Woolf...)

Not to harp on this but ... wouldn't being smart and adapting is doing this BEFORE training camp? If the plays were the same they could've anticipated the issues with the play calls and made it simple from the get go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
