Saffold pancaked the only guy that had a shot at blowing the play up and Davis sealed the deal at the end of the run. Smith's play action gameplan made it easy to sell the rollout to the defense and they bought it hook line and sinker. It was a thing of beauty. The play design was perfect. The entire line sold out for the run to Henry, then Mariota shows them the ball like come on guys don’t be fooled so easily! Boom Henry wide open. Just an absolutely perfect play call.

The jury is still out on Smith, but game one goes on the "plus" side for sure. The Eagles DBs were garbage in that game. Davis and company ate. I won’t say it was a bad game plan, I honestly don’t remember, but I simply don’t remember a bunch of shining moments for ML’s offense at all, even in that game. More it was a man beater WR out playing second string CBs who played man all day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never really got to implement his offense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly was heads up too, ducking down to allow the pass over the top of him. No1TitansFan, freakingeek, and Justafan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never really got to implement his offense. I'll judge all I want! I'm a judger! In all seriousness, ML's offense put up bad production last year. We don't know for sure what all of the causes for that are. That's true. What I do know is that I saw Aaron Rodgers in that system, granted against an elite defense, and he did not look like the same Aaron Rodgers i'm used to seeing. That, on top of what I've seen of him as a Titans OC leads me to believe that my original take (that he's hot garbage) is accurate. It's true that I made a definitive statement, so okay whatever, we don't know FOR SURE that ML stinks. I strongly suspect it though and I haven't seen anything yet that gives me good reason to doubt what I originally thought of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted September 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I don't know whether Matt LaFleur is a good OC or not, but I do know that he wasn't a good OC for this team all things considered. No1TitansFan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemEngr79 Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) The Titans have been terrible at screens for at least a decade. If Art can fix that, then he deserves lots of kudos. Henry is a monster in space, so screens seem like a very logical way to optimize his usage. He seems to break every ~2nd-3rd one for a 70+ yards TD, so we already have a play that "pops". The fact that effective use of screens also acts as a check on an aggressive pass rush makes it seem like we should make it a regular feature until Lewan is back...
