Popular Post kyle021 Posted August 1, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 I haven’t read a lot of “Interceptions and Overthrown passes” there is a mention daily of maybe two passes getting away from him but for the most part it seems as if there is major praise coming out this TC regarding MM. it helps that Smith is his OC and has seen him in 4 different systems and has been able to witness everything he does well in all of them and things he doesn’t do well in all of them and he can make a system around that. That’s a major reason why I think MM is playing lights out in TC. Also the addition of Humphries is big time. Davis growth is on full display and getting Walker back is icing on the cake. As as long as this continues and I have zero reason to suspect it will not... I think MM has the best year of his career forcing us to retain him on a QB/Team friendly contract ala Dalton/Tannehill and we keep moving forward and Smith stays. Ill admit i it I was hyped about LaFleur last year and MM showed promise and disappointment throughout last season in a new complex offense but he persevered and grew from it. He is 230 pounds and healthy as of today. The OL is going to be the best it ever has been. Spain was serviceable but we upgraded Spain with a pro bowler and a top 3-5 guy at that position next to perhaps the best LT in the league. Mariotas blindside is the thing that bothers me the least. The right side is questionable but Pamphile is an upgrade to Kline and Conk/Kelly will be just fine at RT. If we hand the keys to Davis at RG from day one we could be in trouble or he could be stellar. It’ll help Davis to play between Jones and Conklin and Conklin having a TE to help him will make the right side swell. Henry will have a damn good season running behind this OL and Davis and Humphries and Walker are going to be matchup nightmares. Teams are going to have to respect the middle of the field because of Humph and Walker and they’re going to have to respect Davis as well as the threat of MM’s wheels and Lewis in the pass game. Also our screen game should be very good. Lewis is great on screens and Henry is too. We wont break records but we will see a very balanced offense that can matchup with anyone. The defense i am I am not worried about in the least. We have studs everywhere and more importantly they are going into year 2 of a scheme they were top 10 in last year and actually upgraded the front 7 and backfield with Hooker who reminds me a lot of Logan Ryan. Except Hooker can play S as well as NB. Im going to love our nickel defense that will field Casey, Johnson, Wake, Landry, Evans and Brown upfront and Jackson, Butler, Byard, Vaccaro and Ryan in the back. I expect to see a lot of 3 safety looks where Evans is a pass rusher and Johnson is off the field and Hooker is back deep making the front a combo of E Brown at LB and Casey, Wake, Landry and Evans rushing the passer. We will be small and fast. Landry has an elite first step as does Wake and Evans is very good at rushing the passer and I don’t need have to speak on Casey. Barring injuries I don’t see a single hole on this team. I truly think we are contenders in the AFC to go to the big dance.

He's basically the only voice of reason from a person who knows what the hell they are talking about. I honestly got the impression that he preferred Tannehill during mini camp, but he said that Mariota has shown tangible improvement Edited August 2, 2019 by abc2330 SleepingTitan, and Eighteen 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can answer that with one two letter word that begins with N. 6 minutes ago, 9 Nines said: People just do not seem to like positive comments anymore. For example, during the eve of one of the big jackpot lotos, I went to a store that was selling tickets. There was a long line of people buying tickets. I did not buy any but I stood near the cash-registers giving all the ticket buyers encouragement. I said nice, uplifting things to all like, "you got the winning ticket right there", "you are going to win...what will you do with all that money", etc. What did the people do? Made ugly comments back to me like, "mind your business", "what is wrong with you." I am telling you people just do not want to see the positive and cheerful sides of things.

Popular Post AussieTitanFan08 Posted August 2, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Who knows if Mariota's "improved" preseason will translate into the regular season, but one thing is certain I would much prefer to read positive things like this year than the abomination that last offseason sounded like.

The Trump effect This is actually the equivalent of saying, "You bought a lotto ticket? Well that's a clear indicator you're going to win. I can't wait to see you buy your first car!" This thread wasn't a pat on the back it was a declaration and we haven't seen the first damn lotto number yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
