Falcons @ Titans Gameday thread

[OILERMAN]

I think 100% without a doubt Malik Willis was drafted to be a gadget Taysom Hill type player.

 

It totally explains everything.

 

He was forced into the #2 role last year so he could be active. He was replaced as the starter when RT was injured.

 

He was made the #2 over Levis for this reason.

 

They were going to use him in that role today but he fumbled.

 

No one that has watched him play thinks he can play QB, no way.

 

The problem is he sucks to bad for the gadgets too. Dude can't even take a snap or handoff

LOL @OILERMANgrasping at something to feel good about so he goes back to his Henry and WIllis argument because nobody gives a shit anymore.

 

You're still wrong. Stop talking about it. These subjects are at the bottom of everyone's concerns.

 

He wasn't drafted to be a gadget player that theory still doesn't make sense and Henry can be whatever at this point he's in his last year. If we move on so be it. But he's still producing and unfortunately I haven't seen Spears completely floor me in spot duty.

 

You've talked about Henry especially more than anything after a win and after we had a pretty good showing from our rookie.

 

Give up your pathetic narrative and stop trying to shift the conversation.

At the risk of raining on the parade I have to say I can see why the Titans ranked poorly in the passing game.

 

The passing game was pretty much all screens/RBs and the bombs. It was a lot like the Bengals game. It's very unlikely it's sustainable.

 

This isn't a knock on Levis at all. The overall offense has major problems with pass protection and the skill people outside of Hopkins.

 

Also the Titans biggest weakness is the OTs and the Falcons don't have the edge guys to exploit that, and still pressured Levis a ton.

 

I'd still start Levis and see what they have but it's entirely possible, even likely the passing game is a train wreck vs the Steelers.

Giving Henry's carries to Spears is the easiest way to improve the offense.  Hopefully Levis will continue to throw bombs and make up for the lack of an intermediate passing attack.

We've been this for years. Funny how you just figured that out. The offense ran through Henry and worked off of that with a pretty simple pass plan. 

 

It'll be fine for a rookie though.

Here we go... usual suspects laughing at a post because of who made it, not because of the content.

 

Back on topic, I'd love to know what percentage of PA they ran yesterday. It seemed way more than other games under Kelly. Was that an adjustment during the bye due to poor Tackle play or was it installed for Levis and Willis? Also I noticed the usual suspects that complain about PA being simple and easy for QBs i.e cutting the field in half, defined reads... didn't say anything yesterday. Same thing about the wide open TDs to Hopkins.

 

It's all agenda driven plain and simple. It's a shame because Levis did look really good in his debut which everyone should be excited about.

Continuously spamming about Willis and Vrabel lmfao. We don't give a fuck.

Stop polluting the thread with your misery please & thanks.

Huh? There were tons of plays where Levis was making full field reads, pretty much all of the third downs were

 

There was also half field reads on some stuff including the deep balls because that’s been the offense since week 1 and it’s a QBs first start

 

Theres nothing in that performance to suggest he won’t be able to do it well

Why would we suddenly talk about defined reads and PA with a rookie. I hope things were kept simple for him.

 

1. You literally ignore people because you can't separate your own issues from posts.

 

2. I maintain the the Titans run a pretty simple, straight forward passing offense which is perfect for an incoming rookie. Yes, our passing game is simple for Levis to grasp. Happy? Not sure why you NOW want everyone to point this out. 

 

3. Hopkins made plays and Levis made throws.

 

I only see one agenda here. Levis is a rookie, so nobody is going to complain right now about him using a simplified offense. Why would we complain about that?

 

If he grows, the expectation would be to expand our playbook as eventually teams are going to adjust.

Read it again. I didn't say anything of sort.

[Bongo59]

Levis did something Tanny has not done in 28 games.......

 

Says more about him than anyone else.  

 

Let the kid play and let's see how it goes.  

 

They way to beat Pitt has always the fast pass game.  

 

Levis just did that so this week should be a duplicate against a better DL.
