Uh did you watch the last five minutes of MNF yesterday?

 

Sure. He's no scrub and could certainly have moments of greatness at the age of 95 but he's more and more limited every year and the full expiration date only gets closer.

 

I don't see how a team goes to him unless they're ready now. By all accounts, this team isn't. Compare our offensive talent to what Brady is working with.

3 mins. That's all it took. 

It was insane how he suddenly woke up and was Superman and firing in those throws etc.

It's crazy to think. All we had to do is re-sign (actually pick up the option on) the all pro RT that you traded up to get. Instead he went the cheap route unnecessarily and it cost him 1st, 2nd, 3rd picks, and multiple QB pressures to solve what did not need to be a problem.

Yeah, the trade-up cost a 2nd and a 3rd. The OT taken with our original pick, Taylor Decker, is still a Lion's starter and certainly far better than anything we have.

I think you have to decouple his offensive philosophy from his overall coaching style. He's very conservative on offense but not in the "hey I'm going to punt from the 40" way like Bowles is. 

My assumption is he thinks that you need to run to win.  That to me doesn't make him conservative.  It means that he's coaching the way he believes you win football games.  Agree or disagree with it, whatever.  But I think people look at running up the middle all the time as conservative when with Vrabel it may be more strategic.

WOW, I did not see this coming! AAS means business. After becoming cap strapped without solving our Oline issues and then making crazy deals like he made for Julio and R Woods and then add in the high round draft whiffs like Wilson and Farley has really put us in a bad spot moving forward. Too much riverboat gambler. Then top it off with AJ torching us Sunday and just rubbing it in our face. 

 

Truthfully, I really don't know how to react to this or how I feel about it except shocked. Kudos to AAS for being proactive and is obviously large and in charge. She's setting the bar high.

One thing AAS has proven several times now is she wants a Super Bowl and compete for a championship every year. Vrabel May get more say, but his ass will be shipped out next if he doesn’t produce

The whole organization is on notice, including Vrabel.

AJ Brown was clearly a much bigger deal than what many here thought, btw. A lot of people try to wave it off as shrewd GM decision making but that trade took so much energy from this team. 

 

It was the final straw and it's no coincidence this moves comes as Eagles fans are literally laughing in the faces of Titans ownership. Sunday made what was already a terrible decision and embarrassing realization. 

 

Think about it. They keep Brown, draft Tyron Smith, and the offense is clearly better this year. Jrob created a hole where one didn't need to exist. You don't think Brown was texting his teammates about the low ball offer he got. You don't think other players are wondering if they will also get shipped out of town for wanting market value? The problem Jrob has is that he wanted to build New England South but he doesn't have the bonafides to do that.  You are a first time GM who hasn't won shit.

I was driving home from school, and was like w t f? I'm almost 40. I'm grabbing ice after throwing the ball for my dog on Sat.

I have to completely re-examine my opinion of what whole situation. Vrabel and Brown's hug Sunday before the game definitely looks different today than it did then. Vrabel's comments about wanting him to remain here before he was traded are ringing pretty loudly right now.

we are more likely to see Brady go to San Fran for a year than come to the Nashville with no OL and only Burks and Chig as weapons.

100% he didn't do enough. He didn't do nearly enough. Brown was still under contract and JRob folded, probably after insulting Brown's camp with a lowball offer. 

 

It's been said many times but if the Titans wanted to keep him, they had all the power. Absolutely all power was in their hands. And you saw how it worked with the 49ers and Deebo.

 

The Titans, or J Rob representing the Titans, simply didn't want to pay him. Injury history and personality factor in there but the Titans made the choice.

 

To the extent that others are angry about that choice, it's 100% on Jon Robinson. Always has been. And I'm certain at factors in here. Probably pretty heavily.

And that is ultimately the "troubling trend". Robinson made more problems than he solved. And he would double down on blowing assets to fix the problem (and still not fix it).

I know people didn't want to dish out the money but Corey Davis was the perfect number 2 receiver for this team to have. Good blocker and could also rack up yac. Him with AJ Brown were a very good combo and likely the best receiving core they have had since being in Tennessee. Instead, we gave it up for one year of a banged up over the hill Julio who isn't even on the team anymore. 

I unironically really think it is worth trying to sign CD in FA this year. Just cut Woods and use that cap for Davis. With Wilson and Moore, NYJ doesn't need him. CD stretches the field, makes contested catches, and blocks (!!!) way better than anyone on our roster. Burks, CD, and a good WR3 (Phillips??) actually has a chance to be a plus WR room if Burks can develop. 

 

edit: meant to say "blocks better than any WR on our roster" but thought about it and there is a very real chance he blocks better than some of our linemen

I wonder had the Titans won the other day if this would've happened?  Or if it was close?  I say no.

He did this with nearly every 1st rounder. Is Simmons the only one? I think he is. pathetic.

This is underrated.  We were arguing about this a while ago.  The fact that he couldn't get a first rounder to a second contract is a pretty big waste of draft resources.  I don't care that they got one or two good years out of Corey Davis.  If you're picking him at 5 and he couldn't get a 2nd contract, it's a pretty big fuckup.
