2ToneTerror Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 How many games can he last as OC before Kelly takes over? How long can Vrabel’s vaunted loyalty last if the team is sitting at .500 with a thick collection of terrible calls and game plans sticking to those losses? How many games before even the thickest of meat heads sees past failure indicate future failures? I think Kelly is the OC by week 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcibiades Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Maybe. I mean with Buffalo up next, we could easily go 0-2. I thought we'd beat the Giants and lose the Bills to open our first two, but now here we are. Still, week 1 rarely means much in the long run.

TitansPDO Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Firing Downing won’t change the offense all that much. This is the exact offense Vrabel wants run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TampaTitan Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Robinson would have to make that call and unfortunately I don't think it would be made until it's too late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirLanceALot Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 The 3rd and 1 toward the end where he called the jet sweep to Chig was the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downtown Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 I want Downing gone immediately. When solving an equation, you eliminate variables to find the solution. Downing is one variable that needs to be eliminated to both identify if its his play-calling and also put direct visible pressure on Vrabel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a good success rate on 1st down today, whatever the distribution. 3rd down was the issue today and most of those were short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s also an issue not brought up enough. The amount of third downs the team will face with this running so much on first down. I guarantee that the Titans faced a much higher percentage of third downs per set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downing is one variable that needs to be eliminated to both identify if its his play-calling and also put direct visible pressure on Vrabel. He took over a good Raiders offense and made it mediocre. Once relieved of the job the Raiders offense bounced back. It's the same thing we're seeing in Tennessee accept the Raiders cut bait after one year, unfortunately we're going to have to ride this out this season. It completely sucks as it really kills any hope of us making a run this season IMO. Can we still win the division and make the playoffs sure the division is kinda blah, but this offense play calling isn't going to cut it over a three or four game stretch in the playoffs.

The amount of third downs the team will face with this running so much on first down. I guarantee that the Titans faced a much higher percentage of third downs per set. This is a factor for sure. I said in another thread that even with successful runs, you're not going to get a bunch of chunk plays and so you have to sustain long drives. I think the Titans are fine with that and they believe it plays into their hands. Heck, to certain extent I think they almost want to have long drives instead of quick touchdowns. It's not ideal to be predictable and the final three first down runs were unsuccessful ... and that's when success was needed the most. One wonders how much being so overwhelmingly predictable played into those specific plays. But, again, they were successful today and had been successful when you complained. Third downs killed them. And not long 3rd downs, mostly short. In a vacuum, I would always say that being unpredictable is better than being predictable. I get that. Between people complaining when there were successful today and people having complained about it when they were a top five offense, it always strikes me as a weird complaint.

Thrill Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Henry ran decently today. Picked up 3 or 4 yards every carry and we refused to run him on 3rd and short. That’s tough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
