Yoshimitsu Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 This is regarding the punt on 4th down with 8 mins left, down 3 TDs. Also, very cool seeing our CTE coach smiling on the sidelines while Adoree was injured on the field...and not even considering that the Titans were in the midst of having their asses kicked.

Yoshimitsu Posted November 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 And to top it off Vrabel called a timeout with a little under two minutes left to get the offense back on the field. That was a very strange sequence to sit through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 They can clean the house again and start it over , (is not my money) , but at some point we need to have patience and wait for better results the next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshimitsu Posted November 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 I’m not to the point of calling for jobs, but that sequence was truly baffling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former_Fan Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Vrabel is in over his head. It is understandable being a first year HC, but it is becoming hard to stay patient when we are on a continuous carousel of turnover from the management down.

There is being in over your head and then there are mistakes that make me wonder if his brain looks like Swiss cheese. This was some Mike Martz level clock management.

Flarb Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 If Vrabel can’t get his OC to grow a brain, that’s potentially two dead brains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 There's also taking a handful of seconds of a tv broadcast widely out of proportion and inferring things that aren't there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t the first time he’s made a questionable strategic call. This, to me, is the strangest. Punt the ball and let the game clock bleed out...I can see that. Punt the ball only to call a timeout to scramble the offense back on the field in some weird attempt at scoring with less than 2 minutes remaining doesn’t make sense.

titanruss Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 I still think vrabel is forcing himself and his plans into the offense. Theres zero reason to throw only 23 times today ... especially when your QB is in the high 90s completion percentage and throwing for a high yard per attempt.

Does the 23 times also count the attempts where Mariota was sacked/ran? Honest question, as I feel that either the Titans receivers played horribly or, like last week, Mariota again became gun shy.

Honest question, as I feel that either the Titans receivers played horribly or, like last week, Mariota again became gun shy. I need to rewatch. All I got was a shitty stream driving across Taiwan. But from what I could tell there was almost no time to throw and the run/pass split was even ... even when we were down 3 scores. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case, and I understand that thinking, why call a timeout at the end of the game and send the offense back out throwing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since we mathematically still have a shot. At least we could run quick throws on the last possession even though that too is a unnecessary risk. But a 4th and long is an even bigger one. I could even buy that if it was 4th and 10+, but it was a 4th and 8, and that’s a play that can be made. I’m sure they have plays specifically for that situation. On top of that they had Mariota running on plays so I doubt it was to protect the QB. It’s one of the strangest clock management calls I’ve seen.
