oldschool Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Robiskie's explanation is laughable and sad at the same time because he's actually making it easier not harder for defenses to defend tbe Titans. It's also sad that great posters like oman are homering it up because they don't have the stones to admit being wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also sad that great posters like oman are homering it up because they don't have the stones to admit being wrong. The flaw in Robiskie's explanation is that it helps create space outside the hashmarks...but historically, Mariota has been more comfortable throwing between the numbers. By compressing the formations, they're essentially pulling more defenders into the area where Mariota has been most effective, thus forcing him to make near-perfect throws into tiny windows and forcing receivers to make contested catches on virtually every play. It's obviously not a great recipe for success. Fortunately it's still early enough in the season to change the recipe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just throwing opportunities away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenj Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I agree it's early and the coaches need time to implement their system, adjust, and get the right players to run it. Mularkey and Robiskie will not be judged through 3 games, but through the entire season. Through 3 games though? Just terrible scheming. Perhaps their original strategy of out-powering teams in the run game coupled with lots of trick plays, pre-snap motioning, and splitting of RBs wide (all running routes of <10 yards) will prove effective. More likely though, they will abandon a great deal of it and build a better scheme that fits Mariota. God I hope. Coaches can't get a pass for their scheme because the players aren't very good. Robinson went out and got a lot of solid additions that match what the coaches wanted. Big RB? Here's one of the best. And here's another stud rookie. Road grading RT? Bam. Precise route-running WRs with good hands? Done. You don't want big bodied speed guys who can't handle your multiple pre-snap motions and varying route depths? Fuck them, I sent them out. They got the players they wanted for the scheme they wanted. Robinson valued certain positions and certain traits over others because that's what the coaches asked for. I think he did a damn good job in 1 year. But don't pretend there weren't other routes the team could have gone regarding personnel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cenj Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 The offense has been useless through 3 games. With a worse defense like we've had in the past, these games would be blowouts. A better defense against other bad teams does not excuse the total lack of offensive production. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
