Popular Post code Posted December 2, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 #1. It is such a pleasure not to read Manning Envy after a Titans Colts game. Sucks dude. We know how you feel 10X over. Now 2-10 vs Colts in Indy. #2. I never want another nice guy at QB again. Jake Locker was adorable. Marcus is the best community guy ever. Give me the little bit of SOB that Tannehill clearly has in him. Swagger might not work in business, but it is essential in sports. When I watch Tannehill I see a guy who likes himself a little bit too much. And that is now my model for what an NFL player should be. For years I have listened to guys on this site talk about needing players with a bit of ghetto in their game. Ala Adam Jones. Just like I was wrong on Marcus, I have been wrong on this as well. Don't love the term, but the attitude is largely correct. Play with a chip on you shoulder. Have some swagger. Probably be a little too in love with yourself. As a MM fan, I hope he takes this lesson to heart from Tannehill on his next job. I still have reservations about Ryan, but in truth, I think the Titans have to sign him to a 3 or 4 year deal. He has earned it. #3. Once the Titan offensive line figures out how to work with each other (passing off stunts, slants, etc.), they are going to be dominant. You can already see it in the run blocking. Colts stacked the box knowing exactly what we were doing and largely couldn't stop it. #4. Despite the fumbles, Derrick Henry is unbelievable. He is averaging over 100 yards per game in his last 17 starts. He is catching the ball far better than advertised. He is serviceable in blitz pick up. No wiggle, but power/speed combo is unreal. #5. For all the times that Adam Viniatierri has lined up and beaten the Titans with clutch kicks, today was a helluva way to send him towards retirement. While the last FG block was 100% not on him, and despite him being a world class good guy, I could not have been happier to see him glumly sitting on sideline. He's been a Titan killer. Glad to be done with that. #6. Deen Pees called a helluva game. The Colts were able to convert a short field into 7 points, and their opening drive in the second half was a thing of beauty. After that, Pees beat Reich and that is a tough thing to do. #7. Not a lot of love here for Correa - but he played a big role today. So did guys like Orr and Smith. Which really speaks to how well JRob constructed the bottom half of the roster. Important, because free agency is going to test Titans with Tannehill, Henry, Conklin and Ryan all up for big money deals and in my opinion all deserving of them at this point in the season. #8. Succop still doesn't look right. The extra points are hooking just inside the posts. That worries the stuffing out of me in upcoming games against the Texans. #9. Love the Titans young receivers including Smith and Firkser. The Brown deep out was just a beautiful route. Humphries is now earning the contract. Davis only got two targets, but he contributes with outstanding downfield blocking. Tannehill is really benefitting from this crew. #10. Vrabel, and the boys, are earning the last laugh. I don't buy the meathead label. I think he is a helluva coach and incredible motivator. His game planning is improving as are his challenges. He is still a work in progress, but I like where he is heading. Been a while since the Titans have been this hot. I still am struggling to believe it. That said, Oilerman was right (fug it!) in claiming Mariota was bringing the whole house down. I didn't believe it. But all of a sudden we are getting complementary football -- all three units contributing. Admittedly I still have a foot on the brakes not really believing what I am seeing. But it is a lot more fun right now then it has been in some time. Keep rolling boys. You might just win Nashville fan base back.

Popular Post gaskill15 Posted December 2, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I feel like I keep noticing Landry more and more each week. He is disruptive as hell and he’s always hustling to the ball from the back end on run plays away from his side. I still can’t believe we got him in the 2nd. titanruss, begooode, IsntLifeFunny, and 4 others 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has definitely upped his game this season. Along with Evans. Just wish we had gotten someone better than old man Wake to play opposite Landry.

SleepingTitan Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Change title to NFL is NOT Golf. It's a greasy game. You need that swagger. I don't think Tannehill is over confident or arrogant. The analysts quoted Henry saying how much different now that their QB has leadership, is vocal, and keeps them all in line. You know, like a QB. Incredible group here built by Jrob. Trample the weak, and hurdle the dead! If we can sign these guys and keep drafting well, the next few years is gonna be bad for the Colts, Jags, and Texans.

He's probably in top 10 for sacks after today. He's gotta lot of hurries and hits too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernope Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I would like some consistent production from Jonnu and Corey Davis in the home stretch. Otherwise the team should pursue other options in the offseason. Supdawg 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle021 Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I have my reservations about the OC still, pass blocking which I think will get better with a new OL coach, C, and experience with Davis and the pending RT situation. I also have my reservations about Corey Davis. I feel like he is either battling through an unknown injury, or doesn’t believe in the philosophy, or just flat out is ignored and it’s quite frankly pissing me off. There is no reason he shouldn’t be getting 8-10 targets a game, however we finally have a fucking franchise QB whose getting sacked at an alarmingly high rate and it’s the one thing I do agree with the OC about by not dropping him back 30-45 times a game due to the sacks that accumulate just from dropping back 15-25 times a game and the production from the run game. We have a scary team that no one wants to play in the post season due to the run game and defense but if we get into a shootout I’m afraid we will see 8 fucking sacks This team while successful with Henry has me in a pickle. While I want to see Henry stay and continue his thing... I also know what a liability he is in pass protection. We could get equal running production from a free agent like Kareem Hunt and actually upgrade as he is a 3 down back with elite pass blocking and receiving skills. Or we can keep Henry at 3 times the price and find a back and interior OL at C and RT to get us the protection we need. either way. It’s fucking nice to beat down on divisional opponents and super bowl contenders and go 6-1 after the switch at QB and watch a real football team. I think at the end of the day we are more of a contender than the national contenders. Dinx81, TitanicoNFLriotFAN, DCTitan, and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
japan Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Listening to McGuiness, it sounded like most of the pressure issues were technical issues handling stunts. I assume that is mainly Davis having issues? Should be fixable. Mythos27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaddKarma Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Titans are a confident bunch right now and that's great. D played great, special teams has been special and Henry is going off. The interior OL pass protection better get worked out in a hurry RT17 is gonna get dinged. TNTitans 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
