scine09 Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 I can't imagine how embarrassing this is for him. You have to feel for him. He's a nice guy and puts the effort in. And he's going to get raked over the coals this week more than at any point last year. prometheus, BTiger3733, and titanruss 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rns90 Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 None of these things are actually new though. The problems that we saw yesterday were there last year as well. Them getting penalized and looking undisciplined isn’t something that just cropped up . They were amongst the most penalized teams last year . The weird ass playcalling was there as well. So was the train wreck level PCs where he comes off as a giant clueless idiot . If you’re doing a scorecard , you’d have to say this is who he is just based on evidence.

Popular Post NashvilleNinja Posted September 8 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 8 I mean, on the one hand he said he got it wrong in the game and should have challenged it. But a little later he says he understands the rules. Need some more astute folks to break that down, but it appears to be a little bit of talking out of both sides of his mouth. Idk...

Oh wait, fans were 100% correct to criticize people failing to perform and the criticism will and SHOULD continue as long as this team fails to perform. You do you babe.

TerryBoats Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 (edited) 28 minutes ago, Mythos27 said: I think you misread. It's not a matter of luck. It's a matter of talent/ability. Bad players that are overmatched in their individual match ups, often commit penalties in an attempt to stay competitive. It's partly why limited CBs like Brownlee are often so heavily penalized; they're having to be extra scrappy to try to stay with superior athletes and this results in penalties. It's not about Callahan being "unlucky" it's about the Titans roster lacking talent. If you disagree then show me how my two examples are more on coaching than on player execution. We're currently #10 in offensive line spending. Where the hell is this money going if it's not buying talent? The list of short because our players have genuinely been trash in the past. But Aaron Brewer became a much better player when he went to Miami. While everyone who comes to Tennessee just seems to play worse. It's very unlikely that there isn't user -error involved in the constant underperformance of the OL, especially with all of the user errors that we saw on the field yesterday which stressed any weaknesses that we had to the absolute limit Edited September 8 by TerryBoats rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been boneheaded his entire career. I think it's the coaches fault that he's not been held accountable for it. He wasn't even pulled from the next play. That's candy ass coaching. When your best defensive player who is in year 6 is allowed to repeatedly make the same stupid mistake that's the coaches fault.

I'm watching guys lose their one on one match ups. For example; what exactly should to coaches have done to prevent Latham from nearly giving up a safety on the goal line by not even getting a finger on the rusher? Seriously, where did the coaches mess that one up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, a total failure on the operation no doubt. I think PK did push him on that a bit and he just kinda repeated himself, taking the blame, so it's a possibility he was being a shield for his guys. But he could also just be FOS like rns90 said. I'm not chucking the dude over this one thing, though. There were plenty of other things to criticize him on, deservedly so, but everyone's focusing most on this. It's all worth zeroing in on and questioning him about. At the end of the day, they didn't play an entire 17-game season yesterday. They just played the first game. It's all a big sour noteworthy red flag, but it's still just one game. If we come out and run roughshod over the Rams next week half of everyone ripping him today will be scobbing his knob this time next week. So we'll see.

And they aren’t signing/drafting these guys without his input. He inherited Skronski . No one expected him to turn Jaelyn Duncan into stating material. But he should be able to turn good decent OL into better ones. TerryBoats, and DCTitan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still went on to be a walking penalty flag for the rest of his career. He would go on twitter and seem very contrite, then do some more dumb shit a week or two later. Undisciplined players are who they are and the only way to really stop the penalties is to bench them in favor of someone more disciplined. We don't have that luxury because we suck.
