I might be ready to get hurt once more by an aging formerly great WR.

We'll know he's washed up if he signs with us.

The Titans had a lot of problems with their passing game the last few years. They had terrible pass protection, they were way too conservative on conflicted downs and they asked their QB to pass into tight windows to covered receivers too often. Assuming the pass protection is adequate and Tim Kelly is allowed to open the offense up on run downs and scheme pass catchers open more the passing game could be much better even with the current WRs. Doug Pederson went to the Jags and turned their passing game around. He threw the ball more on 1st down and Lawrence said he never had so many wide open receivers to throw to. Lawrence went from a 71 passer rating to a 95.(Tannehill was just under 95 under horrible conditions) All the contenders and top offenses throw the ball the most on 1st down. This is basic NFL offense 101. If Vrabel doesn't adjust this season he's got to go

Can't wait to see Skoronski's perfect technique as NPF gets boat raced on the right and Brunskil and Brewer get flattened in the center. It's a real shame because if RT had time back there, he'd be able to look out and see Chris Moore and NWI get blanketed every play. Hopefully, he'll at least have enough time to look towards the sideline to throw it away; if he's lucky he may be able to catch a glimpse of Burks at the oxygen tank and Philips walking around on crutches.

still hard to believe the Cardinals are spending all their money on Kyler Murray...

It seems as though the context around trump’s criminality has changed in the news from his possession of top secret docs to his repeated refusal to turn them over properly. That itself really takes away the whataboutism, false equivalency card versus Biden and even Pence that Trumpers were keen to play. Trump is on an island on this, and it sounds like Jack Smith has the goods.

In the red zone last year, 30% of Henry's rushing attempts resulted in touchdowns. This was the NFL's #2 highest RZ success rate among all running backs. (Zeke Elliott was #1 with 34%). Inside the 10-yard line, 58% of Henry's carries resulted in TDs...which was the NFL's #1 success rate by a fairly wide margin. (Cordarrelle Patterson ranked #2 at 50%; the rest of the league was at 42% or lower.) Inside the 5-yard line, 66% of Henry's carries produced TDs.... which ranked #3 in the league behind Patterson and Austin Ekeler. Henry and Patterson were the only players who ranked top five in all three categories. Say what you will about Henry's limitations in other areas.....but there's absolutely no question that he's one of the most effective goal line/short yardage runners in the NFL and a huge asset in the red zone.

Bring him to Nashville and put him in a room with Randy Moss, Andre Johnson, and Julio. Easiest recruiting pitch of any team in the NFL

Fulton actually has all the leverage here. Assuming he gets into shape and stays healthy he's going to going into free agency a 25 year old cover CB. Guys work out in training facilities all over the league and all the time. Fulton knows he's in a contract year and he likely wants to stay healthy more than anyone. By Vrabel calling him out and the media making it a huge story all it's really doing is possibly making where Fulton wants to leave. Cool, Vrabel called him out, that does nothing for them.

He hates everyone except Oman. (because Oman likes his posts) He never talks football. He has a connection to Ole Miss. He loves Eli. His wife is a forensic investigator (or so he claims) He used to say some funny shit but now he's really just sad and lame. Did I forget anything?

Listening to GOP leadership and Biden masterminded the crime of the century with Voter Fraudz, followed it up by getting a shit ton of bipartisan legislation passed, locking in social security and now the latest budget negotiation -- all while being cognitively impaired, "obviously!". Good thing he's not on his game or the repubs would be in real trouble.

If the Titans didn't think very highly of Tannehill there is no way they would have kept him on the roster with his cap hit and after drafting Levis. They think they can be competitive because they have Tannehill, which is exactly right

The run blocking was average to above average. I think the real problem was the predictability, he wasn't swarmed because of poor run blocking, he was swarmed because they knew he was getting it.

Righteous and Big are unworthy of true debate

Honestly that's among the least alarming beliefs some here have to contort their idiot opinions into frame. The top one is still they don't trust Tannehill enough to add more balance to the 1st down run/pass ratio even if it's just to the extent it isn't 1st in the league in favor of run by a fair margin, but don't mind putting him into obvious passing 3rd downs more as a result. I need to take sick leave from work any time I try to comprehend that one, it's dumb enough to give you cancer.

Can he block?

Trump's in serious trouble with the law. I can't link the Washington Post article, but this looks like serious bad news for Trump that he can't 'lawyer' himself out of Two employees of former President Donald Trump moved boxes of papers the day before Federal Bureau of Investigation agents searched for and removed classified documents from Trump’s Florida home in an unannounced raid in August 2022, the Washington Post reported Thursday, days after reports circulated that Special Counsel Jack Smith was wrapping up his investigation into Trump’s potential mishandling of those documents. Trump employees moved Mar-A-Lago boxes a day before the Justice Department searched the former ... [+] Trump aides separately conducted a “dress rehearsal” to practice moving sensitive papers, even before he was subpoenaed in May 2022, the Post reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter. Prosecutors obtained evidence that shows that Trump stored classified documents in a visible place in his office, occasionally showing them to others, the Post reported. The timing of the “dress rehearsal” and the moving of boxes was an indication of possible obstruction, the sources told the Post.

I've posted a lot less this offseason as it's basically more of the same in every thread but the one thing that's really getting me is the plan at kicker. The team made a point this week to state that they're focusing on accuracy from 40-49 yards out and not 50 plus yards out. Why? That doesn't even make sense. Teams like the Raiders and Bengals have kickers who were acquired cheaply who can make those kicks. It helped the Bengals get to a Super Bowl. If you replaced their kicker in 2021 with Randy Bullock you know what would have happened? The Titans would have been playing the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game and the Bengals would not have. And all it took was a 5th round pick to get him. It's a huge weapon. One the Titans have had basically never. And it can win or lose games and honestly may have cost the team a game or two last season. And then I log onto ESPN.com and see that the Jaguars signed Brandon McManus??? Where was Ran Carthon? The Jaguars have a good kicker. And they're trying to improve upon it by signing a veteran who has proven he can make those long kicks and in pressure situations. And in the draft instead of drafting one of these bigtime kickers they go with a bunch of guys who will be lucky to even be with the franchise two or three years from now? What exactly is the plan at kicker? Go with a guy who in his one game with the organization looked incredibly overmatched? Bring back Randy Bullock who is an adventure every time the kick is over 40 yards? I just don't get it. And for a team as limited offensively as the Titans are who will try and win games with a running game and defense, you need that weapon. It can change outcomes of games. As the Titans learned the hard way last year. They continue to ignore it. Very frustrating. Sorry for the rant but when I saw that McManus signed with the Jaguars it prompted this.

Once Carthon missed out on the top 3 QB's he really should of punted the QBOTF search into next offseason and not of settled with Levis. In the very early portion of the offseason program all the known flaws in Levis' game such as accuracy, decision making and to a lesser extent pocket awareness (given there is no real pass rush right now) are all regularly on display. The big unknown for Levis is if there is going to be enough improvement over the next 9 months for this team to feel comfortable installing him as QB1 next offseason.

Also, just to bounce off my prior post, I couldn’t disagree more with the analysts, fans, and some on this board with the idea that RT is on some downslope because of his age. PFF also said this. He’s 35, which really isn’t that old at all for QB’s now. RT keeps himself in great shape, he’s lean & muscular & still moves great. I also think he’s spinning it better than he ever has. I thought his arm looked stronger than any season here this prior season & he may well have been more accurate than any as well. His game against GB on TNF was as good as you’ll see a QB throw the ball. I’d say he threw the deep ball better in ‘19, but he threw it real good last year & I thought he threw the intermediate routes great, whether they required touch or fitting into a tight window. You really have to separate what he did with his circumstances last year, he had just nothing to work with. I guarantee if a Belichick or McVay watched every play on tape, they’d come away awfully impressed with his season. Also, maybe it’s me but it looks like he may have put on a few lbs of muscle. His neck looked thicker when I saw him interview. I doubt we’ll do it but Ive been wanting them to use his legs some more. He’s always been a very good athlete & in 2020 he led all QB’s in rushing DVOA. He’s always going to take some sacks, he never had very good pocket feel, but on the contrary he’s an instinctual runner who knows when to take off & has run for some big scores since here. Plus he can really throw on the move, Zac Taylor said he’s the best in the league throwing off boots to his right. I know this is a monster post but I’m just really big on RT this year. I don’t think he’s old at all, I think he’s better than ever like we’ve seen from a good amount of QB’s when they hit their early to even mid 30’s. If the main guys like Burks, Chig, Dillard, Skoronski, and the backs largely stay healthy, he’s gonna have a really good year. Watch.

Trump is more dangerous than people realize, partially due to his own impulsive lawlessness and lack of moral give a fucks, regardless of the magnitude of the issue big or small. It's why he's unable to stop himself from pitting Americans against each other, often solely for his benefit at the moment. He's a completely selfish, petty pos narcissist in every sense and never should have been anywhere close to our nation's secrets.

Meathead loves blocking WRs, we all know this. "Loves" is probably too soft a description. Meathead has a Glenn Close type of fatal attraction to blocking WRs, he's possibly boiled a rabbit in NWI's house

Again, the editor, the publisher of the fiction team would tell you to GTFO with all these stupid unbelieve plot twists. 'There's fiction and there's fantastical horseshit! this is horseshit that insults your reader!' btw, another health check on LilEarl please. This is one of his main "Biden is bad" datapoints

I definitely remember numerous instances where Henry was blown up at or behind the LOS....but the replay showed it wasn't due to a blown OL assignment; the defense simply knew what was coming and there were more defenders than blockers at the point of attack...and the unblocked defender made the play. The OL wasn't great...but they played well enough to support a functional and reasonably successful running game. The same cannot be said of their pass blocking, which often rendered the passing game wholly inoperable.

Holy shit man, it's simply a funny observation. Not everything has to be a political point on a Titans message board. Get a fucking life, you weird, dumb ass hat.

Sheesh. Considering today's hyper-partisan political climate.....just imagine how dirty and corrupt a politician must be to get impeached by his own party in a landslide.

I like the "Iraq WMD" as if these suckers aren't the ones who fell for it.

Brother, I’m convinced you are retarded. The overall complexion, cohesion and strength of the OL was in run blocking. Denis Daley for example. This man would get routinely dusted around the edge on pass plays. On run plays this was less of a hindrance. I’m not even sure how in the year of our lord and savior 2023 that somebody could think an OLs skill stays static across run and pass blocking. JUST LMFAO.

Right wing response:

I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who can convince themselves to buy into a blatant fabrication rather than acknowledge an unsavory and inconvenient reality.

another poor mistreated shit-bag....bahahaha

bahaha

They have the best QB in the South and by far the best defense. They have the best RB in football and all their injured guys are coming back. It took an epic collapse of injuries let them lose this division. Jax did not win it. TN lost it because of injuries. Not because their roster sucks. I think this is going to set TN up quite well. No one is expecting much from them.

This is one of the worst analogies I've ever come across.

Biden was already negotiating when you said he needed to cave. Now you're trying to define caving as starting to negotiate. This is a win for Biden in the big picture. He doesn't have to deal with this until 2025. Democrats need to take the W. Let republicans try to kill it, which they will. And then they will try to kill McCarthy. Give them plenty of rope as they continue to define themselves as chaos agents who can't govern.

Look at the big picture. Every time Biden speaks in political terms, he mentions MAGA republicans. He knows the term MAGA is toxic to a segment of voters. He campaigning to get never-Trumpers and independents who can't stand him. Now look at Trump and DeSantis. The are in a race to see who can be the most extreme on the right.....pardoning Jan. 6 criminals, abortion bans, banning books, going after generation Z with anti-woke comments, advocating default, etc. Biden is speaking to the middle of the electorate, Republicans are speaking to the extremists.

Don't stop @OILERMAN is almost there.
