His ADOT is low, but air yards per attempt are around the middle of the pack. 1.3 yards more air yards than Nix, 1.5 more than Tua, .8 more than Maye despite them all having similar depth of target. The WR screens are definitely skewing this, as the ball travels a decent distance through the air but lands behind the LOS (another reason why they are moronic )

Was it fun watching Burrow end his rookie season early due to injury? Because that's the only development I can see happening with Ward in this offense.

The 23-25 draft and FA classes have been worse. That's why this is currently the worse roster in the league.

Two of those draft classes were half a decade ago. Many of those players in that first class are nearing 30 years of age now. It's been an eternity in NFL years. Titans fans love to complain and place blame, but never on the correct party.

If that was it, then it wouldn't be a big deal. But he's using it as a safety net. He isn't trusting the protection or his eyes, so he's buying more time and space. It can be really hard to break this if it goes to far ( see: Mariota)

Whoever's fault it is, it doesn't matter. He's developing bad habits which may prove hard to break. They have to try something different.

Jared Verse is close, and we could have traded back to the middle of the 1st and drafted him.

They haven't been able to crack the top 5 in scoring with an elite QB and arguably the best WR duo in the NFL.

Ward has the lowest expected completion % in the league. For whatever mistakes he's made - and he's certainly looked rough as of late - he's tasked with making tough throws under constant duress. Jayden Daniels joined a team which allowed the 2nd most sacks the prior year, yet he had one of the highest expected completion %s in the league as a rookie. They made things easy/simple for him, and it paid off immensely. The opposite appears to be going on here

The Zac Taylor/Brian Callahan coaching tree has coached a collective 9 seasons. Those teams have been in the bottom 10 in terms of sacks allowed per game every single year, have 0 top 5 scoring offenses, 4 bottom 5 scoring offenses (at the current rate), and the QB's season has ended due to major injury in 3 of those seasons (not including the possibility of Ward).

Important to remember that the last rookie QB in this system had his season cut short due to a major injury. And it's happened twice to him since then.

We've been hearing this shit for two years. If that were true, we'd have seen more than 1 good offensive performance in Callahan's offense by now. We saw several with Levis under Vrabel, even in a small sample size. The reality is that the scheme sucks donkey nuts and at the conclusion of this season, it will be the 5th time in 7 years that a Zac Taylor/Brian Callahan offense will end the season bottom 5-6 in scoring offense.

It looks like there are 40 defenders on the field on every play.

Honestly, I'm a numbers guy and draw nearly all of by conclusions from those. But even if you're not one, it's easy to come to the correct conclusion here: Kentucky (with Levis) 2021 (with Coen). #24 PPG 2022 (without Coen) #111 PPG Tampa Bay 2023 (without Coen) #20 total offense, #32 YPC 2024 (with Coen) #3 total offense, #3 YPC Jacksonville 2024 (without Coen) #25 total offense, #19 YPC 2025 (with Coen) #10 total offense, #6 YPC It's hard for me to look at these numbers and conclude that coaching isn't a significant factor. And that we wouldn't see a totally different product on the field with Coen running the offense.

The improvement overwhelmingly stems from the running game, and there's no reason why Coen's success in that department wouldn't translate here. It's being executed in Jacksonville with a bad OL and a RB who has been ineffective for years - the same group who was virtually even with the Titans in terms of YPC last year. Tennessee is #29 in rush attempts per game, which is just another example of the coaching malpractice.
