IrishTitansFan Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I saw a stat that said the Titans ran 30% 3WR sets, 29th in the NFL and they were #1 in 2 TE sets. I wonder if that’s the offense going forward, or did the game dictate it? Knowing Smiths background, I would guess the latter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obv they weren't kidding about the offense running through Henry. They also ran the ball on 1st down the most in the NFL through 3 quarter(before it got out of hand). They'll be games where they fall behind or the opposing defense struggles against 3 WRs but overall I think they'd rather run the ball and play a lot of two TE sets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing Smiths background, I would guess the latter i think it depends on the game and opponent they listed 3 starting WR on the depth chart for the first time ever. they paid big money for humphries and brought in brown who they obviously think of as a starter. .. same with humph. ... and vrabel apologized to the WR after the game saying they will be get their chances and the plans are for them to be a bigger part of the game plan. this game called from more protection and bigger sets. so thats the way we went.

OILERMAN Posted September 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 One thing is for damn sure..... They aint spreading the field with 3 WRs, lining MM in shotgun and running hurry up......lol. NE offense baby! I'll have to dig up those old posts for a good laugh. BTW, why was Fahey happy with Smith? This was the offense he bitched about. MM can't play under center remember? We're wasting MM running the offense through the running game! As if we had Mahomes or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kept an extra TE close to Kelly for large chunks of the game. I would be surprised to see it be that TE heavy all year. A lot of those sets included Walker or Smith going out in routes too, who are basically big WRs so the numbers have to be considered with context. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if we had Mahomes or something. Are you not factoring in the defensive line we were facing and the patchwork o-line we were dealing with? They arent trying to get Mariota killed out there. I’m interested to see how much they open things up when Lewan returns. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cenj Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) Henry doesn't have a lot of mileage and we don't overuse him, so hopefully he stays at this level into the playoffs. Edited September 11, 2019 by cenj Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s possible but opponent likely factors too Even out of 3 WRs they’ll run and throw safe passes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans279 Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) We tried to go 5 wide and block their rush with just 5 but Kelly got fucked immediately and Mariota got sacked. Against worse pass rushes and with Lewan I can see them being more multiple out there. I think Smith adapts to the situation, which is a good thing.

GLinks Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) Mike Vrabel on his show yesterday said Hooker was responsible for blocking Mayfield’s throwing lane and created the opportunity for Wake to get the sack and the safety. He said Mayfield had to pull it down because of Hooker, and then Wake was there.

It seemed like he got pressures consistently. Anyone know the snap counts on Isiah Mack? I think he came in the 2nd or 3rd series on defense. I'm pretty sure he has leapfrogged Austin Johnson in the rotation. Two totally different players. Mack is a rusher and Austin Johnson is a run stopper, so they'll be used in the rotation accordingly based on situations and opponent. japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
