It’s been said Bowen was learning from Pees but no one mentioned Vrabel learning from him. It also would give Smith full reigns of the offense since Vrabel will have his hands full and won’t be able to chime in on what he wants done offensively during the game Why do you expect any different? Smith was Mularkey's understudy. What you've seen is what you'll get from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post japan Posted January 30, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) To me this sounds like Vrabel giving Bowen a go at DC with Vrabel taking the blame if it goes south. Maybe Vrabel has questions regarding Bowen being ready for the big position but wants to give him a try without the pressure.

As for the offense, the idea that the OC is going to have complete autonomy over it without any direction from the HC is laughably stupid. I wouldn't think any OC (who isn't also the head coach) has complete autonomy over what the offense does in relation to what the HC wants. I think people make too much of that and assume that Vrabel is just a difficult, arrogant block head no one can work with. Amazingly, the Titans made it within one half of a football game's reach from the Super Bowl with such a dictator. Thrill, and tgo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not jive with the narrative that he's a control freak meathead at all. And we both know there's no other state of being for Vrabes other than that of a control freak meathead.

Amazingly, the Titans made it within one half of a football game's reach from the Super Bowl with such a dictator. His meddling with the offense was a positive for me. I’d be more worried if he wasn’t heavily involved in the offense. As for the defense I don’t feel too strongly one way or the other. I hope someone else is calling the plays though. Defensive play calls need to be able to focus on what the other team is doing offensively. If Vrabel is thinking about the offense and calling plays defensively it just seems like too much.

Former_Fan Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) I would rather Vrabel micro manage a DC then just go without one and focus on his job. This is stupid and I find it hard to believe JRob is on board. Edited January 30, 2020 by Former_Fan titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanruss Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Vrabel was a terrible D coordinator and when he was forced to take the reigns when pees went down last season.. it was horrid. Of course people should be worried. Can he succeed? Sure. He just hasnt proven he can yet as a DC. Maker84, and prometheus 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
