CreepingDeath Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 I made a passing comment about one of these in another thread, but have other thoughts to add to it. Since the change at QB, there have been ripple effects throughout the team. Many of my observations are from the Raiders game, but I believe are part of a pattern. Dion Lewis looks to be more effective. To kill the clock vs the Raiders, his effort and will to get the first down and stay in bounds was impressive. If Henry has to miss more time than usual, Lewis could be able to pick up enough slack to keep the offense humming. Over the past 2 (maybe 3) games, he looks to be actually contributing to our offensive success. Big plays - even if a big play doesn't go all the way, I don't cringe at the lost TD and assume we'll settle for a FG now. I now expect the offense to work its way into the endzone once in the redzone. The OL isn't getting penalties as frequently. A big part of this is Lewan making this his focus, but there's been a lack of OL holding penalties lately. In a pessimistic outlook, there is a worry that this season is our best window. We have some of our most important players up for contract renewal. They could potentially leave in free agency. Next year, teams will have a better book on our offense (QB + OC). And how important is Henry to Tannehill's success? Either way, these last few weeks are going to be exciting. Stan17, Number9, and GLinks 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakingeek Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 I'm taking one game at a time and see what happens. It's hard not to look too far ahead but I'm really excited. It hasn't felt like this in 10 years. Number9, Ricky, Tex in a Can, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenj Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 The OL change is the most glaring. It's clear this OL is built primarily to run block first, and they look damn good when attacking the DL. If we continue with this offensive scheme, the signings look much better and Conklin is likely re-signed. freakingeek, and Downtown 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepingDeath Posted December 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 A silly observation: With Tannehill (T) starting, the team's been on fire. So, kinda like our logo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Titans_Win_Again Posted December 10, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Disagree on Lewis, even if henry is out he should be relegated to 3rd downs. Small and slow.

Callidus Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Not that I am expecting one but this is the first time since 2008 I could see us making a SB run. Cajuntitan, and DecepticonShawn 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rns90 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 It seems like we've scored more D/ST this year (3 in the streak) than usual. Our defenses in the past were always good but never got many turnovers/big plays. I don't mind if we've regressed a little on defense if we continue to make plays like this.

Nash Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Lot's of improvement at qb, but as ElGuapo and I discussed at lunch, the offensive line has markedly improved also.. Pushing a defensive end behind the quarterback works well when the qb steps up in the pocket..and the run blocking is improved also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

prometheus Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Blase ran very well here at Vanderbilt. He was an active ingredient in the run game beyond being a blocking back. He would be better at both runs and YAC than the increasingly slow Lewis (although as mentioned above, Lewis has run somewhat better the last few games). pro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBukafax Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Henry’s pass blocking has been in fine form these past couple games. Watching him specifically he has consistently picked up the extra blitzed and given Tannehill that extra second to get the ball off.

Totally disagree. Watch the play. Henry's carrying out the PA fake to the right; the pass rush comes from the left and middle.... Jonnu Smith struggles to contain the DE while Saffold loses his footing and goes to his knees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
