And Lewis ended up 38th, with only 517 yards, 3.3 YPC, even though he had 42% of TN's rushing attempts (by running backs). Neither provides an accurate gauge of the O-Line's performance.

TitanDuckFan Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) I'll just leave this here: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ol Final OL rankings have the Titans' O-Line ranked 17th in Run Blocking and 29th in Pass Protection for the 2018 season. Which I believe is realistic for both categories, and matches the eyeball as well as the memory tests.

I mentioned yesterday that keeping Mariota was a commitment to 8-8, 9-7 seasons and that he didn't have the game to compete against playoff QBs. Funny cause Gabbert kept us in a game with indy till the 4min mark. Indy crushed the texans. If we have mariota we have a very good chance at winning that game. One of 5 other guys not on IR and it's not a question. We went 9-7 with a qb playing hurt all year. We are the easy division winner if he was healthy.

Not even going to mention the Chargers and the dropped TD in the Bills game by Nick whats his name, way to much negativity around here.

titanfan24 Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Mariota is holding us hostage right now. No durability, no consistency, no real gauge on how to rate the guy fairly. 64 games into his career and we have no idea what his ceiling is. And that’s borderline torture when the two teams we are competing with in the division don’t have any questions at the position. There isn’t really a better option but he doesn’t embody confidence for a season either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callidus Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 5 hours ago, TitanDuckFan said: None. But that's not the point. To credit the O-Line's performance based on how many yards the rushing game ended up with is misleading when the QB is as mobile as Marcus or Wilson or Watson are. (just using those 3 as an example) With some teams that will always be a more accurate measure of the O-Line's effectiveness than others. Would you argue that Seattle has a great O-Line based on their run game yardage, when Wilson puts up so many improvised rushing yards? I would hope not. Then why would you for TN? I would argue they can run block and suck at pass blocking. This isn't rocket science. But this is just more black and white thinking that makes no sense. You can be good at half your job. Like you mop floors great but suck at scrubbing toilets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that year we ran the simplist offense in football since 1936. Was no wonder teams figured it out. Let him get into a system for 2-3 years. Foles is a good example. People say he is a system qb, well maybe that iw the only system he has had enough time in to be good? Edited January 7, 2019 by Callidus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Seattle is known to have a terrible O-Line but leads the league in rushing it should inspire anyone and everyone to think twice about making a statement like that. And to be open to accepting alternative reasons. Things may not always be what they appear to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
