Jamalisms Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Apparently I'm supposed to post here. I'm glad he's not as incompetent recently as he evidenced early in the season. He might actually be good in the long run. Surprise! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanedUpSince'70 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Could it actually be as simple as Robiskie finally realizing that Mariota is more qualified and better than he thought he was in preseason? I remember reading back then that Robiskie would be in practice telling Mariota "No, no, don't throw that! No, no, don't do that!" But then, Mariota would shock Robiskie and pull off a great play, then Robiskie would be like "Oooh ok, good play! Good play!" Then later on you read stuff by Robiskie saying Mariota is a "Wow kind of QB". Maybe when his old ass finaly realized Mariota had the potential to be one of the GOAT QBs, he wised up and we opened up the offense and started to steam roll some fuckers. Of course, getting Wright healthy, along with the other receivers finally started coming into their own some helped too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanLegend Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 My issue with the play calling is simple, and it's lessened in recent weeks, and that's these exotic plays we run. It feels like 99% of our "exotic" plays ends in a loss of yardage at best, and often times a turnover. Like we had one really glaring example vs Green Bay where we had like 3 down offensive lineman and everyone else split out wide, and it gained like 3 yards..and that's one of the best "exotic" plays we've had all year. HB Pass isn't too bad because if there's no one open DeMarco and just throw it away, but these option plays to short side of the field, the weird WR screens to Harry Douglas, that kind of stuff just confuses me to no end. And it often happens when we've been driving almost at will on the opposing defenses just running a regular playbook. Robiskie has overall done well this season I think, but I do kinda wish we'd take the exotic plays, rip them out of the playbook and throw them away. They drive me mad at times.

socaljake Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 So in other words, our trick plays are stupid decisions when they don't work. Genius move when they do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genius move when they do. Well given our trick plays fail an absurdly high amount of the time, it's pretty safe to call them stupid decisions in general. HB pass is the only majorly successful trick play I can think of off the top of my head that we've run, among the weird WR screens, options, fake pitch to DeMarco for the Henry FB dive, the weird formation we lined up in vs Green Bay that I mentioned that only netted 3 yards. It's like he's out thinking himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Even when the trick plays don't work it's more on film opponents have to prepare for and it already sounds like the Titans offense is hard to prepare for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the FB dive to Henry that I mentioned could be trying to set up eventually pitching it to DeMarco for a big play, but who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when they work they can really pop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
