This is the most consistent physicality we have seen so far from Sweat, Brandon Thorn also mentioned Sweat's conditioning has been an issue in the 2nd half (I assume that is what he is seeing on the all 22 film).

Nfl seasons are brutal, i csn imagine its a hard balance to find. Eating the right number of calories to sta effective while not going over weight. 

 

And i was the guy giving him shit when we drafted him for being able to keep innshape. 

 

If it continues though ill wave my i told you so flag lol. (I hope not)

You as well? Why not tell the refs to go fuck themselves(no idea what he actually said) when they just gave the other team a free set of downs at your 1? At my half yard line?????? Your damn right 

I agree you have to let the refs know. Vrabel would let ‘em know and nobody complained. Difference here is after he let them have it and the ref walked away, he followed as he flailed his body like he couldn’t handle the situation out of frustration.

I get it. But can you show me a game where vrable had 3 crippling calls that were blatantly wrong? 

 

Edit: there were 5 but only 3 led to point swings directly

Not off memory no but I doubt that would be difficult to find.

I can think of one or two questionable calls here and there, the doobs and tannehil fumble, but even those were questionable, and not go fuck yourself bad. If i had a top 5 list of bad calls in titans games 3 would be in this game.

Sneed is here at least till the end of 2025 and with Awuzie you could save $1.99 million by cutting him but with a $12.51 million dead cap hit you might as well just keep him in 2025 even if he is just a depth piece.

CB is one position I don't see much movement this offseason Sneed, Awuzie, McCreary, Brownlee are under contract and Baker is a RFA who they can tender, those 5 plus a day 3 pick or UDFA from the 2025 class is where things probably end up entering next season.

If they want to start Brownlee or Baker at CB then they could potentially trade Awuzie. It won’t save enough due to guaranteed salary to just cut him though.

Going with paying CB big money instead of signing DL is proving to be a big error.  They can’t pressure without blitzing it seems.

 

That’s actually pretty impressive .  To finish with a bottom 3 worse record while giving out the most money in FA.

I don't now all the rules, but doesn't each team have to spend a certain amount of the cap money.

You guys never learn, you can never have too many CBs, they need 100% mobility or damn near it to play effectively at a position that is ripe for lower body injuries. Who plays behind Brownlee or Baker when they inevitiably get dinged up?

The only blatantly wrong call was the brown play. You can argue that the others are Tikki tack, but by the letter of the law they were penalties.

I wont argue the illegal formations because I doubt the nfl even know a what they are...

 

The brownlee one was just shy of as texbook as the endzone hit. He was playing the ball and while there was some hand fighting he was pushed before he made the play.

 

The offsides was beyond insane unless they have a view I havent seen yet(and why dont they show them if they have them?). 

 

The james williams penalty literally happened later in the game by the vikings and they didnt call it which would have been correct. 

 

 

Im not some crazy fan, i have more than a dozen times said they made the rught call againsr us, I did it two or 3 times in the exact game we are talking about. 

 

The refs were fucking terrible case closed.

I think we need to cut NWI because as long as he’s here he will somehow always end up being the best WR on the roster.

The truth is that each crew officiates differently and that's an ongoing problem but one that won't get fixed.  Blakeman's crew throws lots of penalties.  Rather than have the HC cry about it, he and the team should be teaching the correct technique within the rules and scouting the officials to prepare the players for the Sunday game.  

 

That all said, the illegal formation calls were legit based on the rule.  The rule is that an offensive lineman's helmet must be even with his center's waist by rule.  If you look at Prince, he's too upright on the one's where the penalty was called and more in a traditional stance.   

 

Here's Prince on the Ridley TD pass that was overturned.  

 

 

Here's Prince on the next play to Oliver where he was legal.  Prince more bent forward and his helmet is even with Radunz.

 

 

Brownlee did contact him past 5 yards.  LOS was the TEN 41.  He's clearly engaged with him beyond the 5 yards (which would be the 36 yard line).

 

 

On the 4th down offsides against Sweat, he was definitely offsides.
