Aramis Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 2 hours ago, AussieTitanFan08 said: The 3rd down defense is tracking towards being historically awful. Loser: Third Down Defense Going back to the Titans win over the Bills, Tennessee’s defense has allowed their opponents to convert 33 of their 49 third downs (67.3%). The highest season long third down conversion rate that a team has allowed since 1991 (the furthest Pro Football Reference’s database goes back on that stat) is 49.6% by the 1995 Cleveland Browns. The Titans were giving up a league-high 57.8% conversion rate heading into this game and the Steelers 13-of-18 performance will continue to send that number in the wrong direction for Tennessee. This is a problem that must get figured out in a hurry for the Titans defense. I really can’t figure the third down defense out. There was a third and long where Ebron just ran right up field past Brown for an easy completion. Brown meanwhile just sat in no mans land. This play in particular really stuck out to me because Brown was quite good in coverage last year. Also, there was absolutely no one to hand him off to and no one else to pick up. So my question is this: are the back 7 just in a mess right now? Are players just blowing assignments? Or are they not being put into a position to succeed? Something has got to give... Oh and wtf is up with Byard? He went from ball hawk to mr irrelevant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found three videos with these late-game heroics by Gostkowki... DENVER: 20 seconds on the play-clock remain when the ball is snapped JAX: 40 seconds.... MINN: 7 seconds...

He kicked the game winner against Denver with 6 seconds left on the play clock. If you go back and watch highlights you can see that if he's kicking the ball, not out of timeout, that the play clock is always under 7 seconds.

Who cares what the game clock read? It was stopped. Your theory was that he was rushed since the 'play' clock hit 2. My point is that it isn't uncommon at all for the ball to be snapped on a FG with it under 5 seconds. What is your point?

This is on Vrabel and a legit criticism. It almost came back to bite him as both Clowney and Jayon Brown had to leave the game with injuries today.

oldschool Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Must be a reason for Long being inactive on game days. Good thing we have the awesome Nashville media to get to the bottom of it. AussieTitanFan08, ChemEngr79, and Jonboy 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamRamrod Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 I said it at the time that it was weird when people celebrated Kerry Coombs leaving and I’m not sure the defensive back coaching is the problem but... Adoree turned into a top ten corner, Byard was playing at an all pro level. Vaccaro was making plays. Even Malcolm Butler played a lot better the second half of the year in 2018.
