Guest Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Oldschool prefers his team to play more soft, finesse, and uninspiring football. He shys away from contact and wants to be more passive aggressive. You really are a moron aren't you? just because I think Pollard needs to keep his mouth shut doesn't mean I don't want the team to be physical. I want less talk and more production. I know this may be a little hard for you to understand but Pollard is also drawing attention from the NFL with this garbage. The refs will be more quick to call shit on him now.

freakingeek Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Just for a little relativity let's look at the Titans defenses and their rankings since 2003 Fisher's defensive rankings 2010 #26 367 yards per game 2009 #28 365 yards per game 2008 #7 293 yards per game 2007 #5 291 yards per game 2006 #32 369 yards per game 2005 #19 319 yards per game 2004 #27 357 yards per game 2003 #12 306 yards per game Last 8 years 2 top ten finishes, 5 bottom third finishes Munchak's defensive rankings 2011 #18 355 yards per game 2012 #27 374 yards per game Considering Munch's two years are as a rookie head coach, the numbers don't look too much different to me. Munch inherited a bag of crap. This defense has had no identity since 2008. Sure talk is cheap but Pollard brings something to the table this team hasn't seen in years. DESIRE and this team needed it badly. We'll see if it translates into wins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 These quotes sound good at this time of the year and if we're winning We're not going to like these quotes nearly as much if the team plays like they did this past season I can guarantee this: The 2013 Titans will not resemble the 2012 Titans. The team has an entirely new philosophy on offense and defense, new leaders on both sides of the ball, and competition at every position, sans QB and for the most part FS.

Bongo59 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 big difference between a guy on the sidelines with a clip board saying it and a guy with a chinstrap on the field saying it and having to back it up mentally, physically and emotionally for the next 8 months. apples to oranges.

nine Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Gotta love his mentality and his refusal to back away from his previous statements. The guy only knows one way to play ball, and he makes no apologies for it. Hopefully that attitude rubs off on the defense as a whole. That being said....make no mistake, his style of play is going to draw more flags that we'd like. Even though I didn't watch many Ravens games last year, I can remember more than one occasion where Pollard was flagged for a perfectly legal hit, simply because the impact was so violent.....and I fully expect that it will happen a few times this year, as well. There will be times where he'll draw a flag that puts the defense in a bad situation or provides momentum for an opposing team....and it may even end up costing the team a couple games over the course of the season. We won't be happy about it when it happens; we just have to understand that It goes with the territory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaOiler Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 The flip side is that there will be times receivers will 'hear steps' and miss the ball worried about the collision that is about to take place. Plays like that will most likely kill more than a couple drives and possible win us a couple games over the course of the season. I hate retarded penalties (Finny), but flags from being too aggressive are usually not retarded if they are between the whistles. If his attitude influences Griffin just a smidge, maybe we won't see broken tackles and whiffs every game when #33 gets near the ball carrier.
