Tannehill's Valiant Effort Comes up Short.

This is something you must understand.  I'm not advocating keeping a RB averaging 3yards per touch.  Henry is going to thrive where ever he ends up.  When he leaves here, a team will sign him for his name.  He'll take the ball and run it until they lock him out of the facility.  That's him.  His ulterior motive?  I gotta do better.  I gotta run hard.  I got to study. 

 

He will never thrive on a team with a legit shot at winning a SB.  I guaran-fucking-tee you that.  No coach that understands how to win when it matters, is going to telegraph their entire offensive scheme around one of the easiest positions to find.

If he is going to be a statue he needs to get the ball out the second that back foot hits. Get it to your outlet if 1st read isn’t there.

Last week definitely. This week it just looked kinda fluky. Wasn't essentially a teammate that caused the fumble? 

Last Week--I almost punched a hole in my screen when I read this.

Most blame for Jags loss.

 

2. Derrick Henry

A quick look at the box score will make Derrick Henry’s inclusion on this list rather confusing. Henry absolutely torched the Jaguars early in this game, turning his 14 carries into 119 yards and a touchdown. It simply looked like one of those days for Henry, which makes what happened in the second half extremely surprising.

After torching Jacksonville early on, Henry was invisible in the second half. He had just three carries for two yards, with one of those carries resulting in a lost fumble. Henry also lost a fumble in the first half, and his two turnovers turned into ten total points for the Jaguars, which obviously played a big role in this loss.

Henry was largely phased out of the offense because of the game script, but he played a big role in the script getting flipped in the second half. Henry had a solid final line (17 CAR, 121 YDS, 1 TD, 3 REC, 34 YDS) but his two fumbles and inability to get anything going when the Titans needed him most earns him a spot on this list.

 

1. Ryan Tannehill

The other half of the Titans turnover tandem was Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill was forced to take control of Tennessee’s offense when they fell behind and Henry was rendered useless, but he was simply unable to do so. Tannehill needed to have a big showing to keep the Titans in this game, and he was unsuccessful in his attempts to do so.

The final line for Tannehill isn’t horrible (25/38, 254 YDS, 2 TD 1 INT) but it is worth noting that his second touchdown was basically a garbage time score, and he also lost a fumble early in the game as well. Similar to Henry, Tannehill’s two turnovers turned into ten free points for the Jaguars.

It’s easy to see that the big problem in this game for the Titans was turnovers. Had they protected the football, they likely could have controlled this game with Henry. But they were unable to do so, and that resulted in them having to fight their way back into the game through Tannehill, and his inability to do so earns him the top spot on this list.

I told you he was ass last week and you got all upset about it. These guys are just saying the same thing I did in more words. He was good today.

I told you Do Not Use That Word. 

 

See, I don't mind sharing things even if they contradict my opinion.

[titanruss]

same story as every week. eberyone knows henry is coming. half the team is hurt. tannehill isnt good enough most of the game. defense is all we got.

this team is done. we'll be real lucky to sneak into the playoffs but its best we dont make it so we have more ammo to gear up for the future.

You don't get to police what words I use and don't use. Relax.

You have to be careful with Twitter snapshot analysis. We don't know how far down Haskins was in the progression. Tannehill just hit his drop and under siege yet again. Is that enough time to go through 3 or 4 reads? Its real easy to take a still of a play and claim X receiver is wide open without knowing what the play is.

Haskins should have been the first read, your in FG and the one thing you can't do is take a sack.  The offensive line blows and the chances that Tannehill has a clean pocket for these pedestrian WR's to get open is slim to none.  This is criminal on Downing.

I don't disagree one bit. I also wonder how much leeway Tannehill has with presnap reads and if he could have altered the play or simply gone against his progression. One of the most legit criticisms of Tannehill is that he's too robotic which could be on display here.

What's going on with Henry fumbling so much.  Pressing?

Quantity of touches. Broadcast said 52% of Titans touches, most in the league.

Tannehill sucks. There was a lot going on, but that man sucks. Tannehill is like a tooth ache. You might have a mouth full of good teeth, but that one tooth makes it feel like the entire mouth is mouth. The Titans are the mouth and Tannehill is the bad tooth.

Watching it live I was yelling throw it to the flat.  If you watch Tannehill's drop, he never seemed to look there so clearly not the first couple of reads.  Yes Daley got destroyed but damn that was meat on the bone that Tannehill left.

Tannehill is very good at executing plays exactly as they're drawn up.    When asked to go off-script and improvise, he struggles.

 

We've seen Tannehill in an offense where his OL gave him reasonably good protection and his receivers were capable of winning their battles and getting open.....he was highly productive and incredibly efficient.

 

For the past year or so, we've watched him play behind a porous O-line throwing to  receivers that get little or no separation....and he's struggled.   And he's taken a tremendous beating in the process.

 

In a sense, Tannehill is a lot like Henry:    when the people around him do their jobs, he can be very, very good and highly productive....but he's gotta have something to work with.     When the guys around him aren't pulling their weight and doing their jobs...it can get ugly real fast.
