I know you guys are are Anti Restslow, but could he honestly be worst then Lockett. Who had one target, and ward was screaming at him because he apparently did something wrong. At least with Restslow, he has a connection with Cam. We all know that he's not a burner, but honestly neither is Lockett at this point. If we go into week two and our slot is MIA again, I really am going to be concerned with the slow (you get it) position. I know people really don't like him. But if he helps win games and revives out slot position.  I'm all for it. So I ask ya'll this. What do you y,all value at the slot position. Speed and acceleration, or great hands that can get too a spot (slowly) and has good route running. @code @OILERMAN

 

Dude... it's ReStepSlo. Get it right, man. Geez.

It's almost as if the gulf between where the Titans are on this map and where the Broncos are is an indication of the mountain they tried to climb this past weekend. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

One more spam post... I wonder if Ridley's issues catching the ball had anything to do with missing that time in the back half of training camp/preseason. Rust?

Hasn't he always had issues with drops? Maybe just who he is.

The project edge rusher we drafted was solid and Jeff was in roid rage mode. The rest of the team sucked though.

I was referring to the offense, where they have invested far more resources.

Throw in the towel if you want, but the Broncos defense is for real. Of course, everyone knew that before the game so I hope it's not really a surprise that our offense struggled against them.

 

The Titans still had their opportunities so we'll see. The Rams are supposed to be a pretty good defense too, but not on the level of the Broncos defense.

Oli Udoh vs Jared Verse might single-handedly result in a loss before anything else can even factor.

Ya this surprised me as soon as it started popping up in the game thread. Everyone expects the team to be bad. Everyone expected us to lose the game. Heck half the forum picked the Broncos in the survival pool which is about the biggest indicator that you thought we were outmatched. 

 

But as soon as the game gets going the haters come out of the wood work saying how much the voach is holding this amazing team back. Its confusing.

Possibly, but he had plenty of chemistry with Ward in camp and in the first preseason game.

I don't care that the Titans lost. They were never winning anything this season anyway. I'm also encouraged by how well the rookies are playing, the defense actually causing turnovers, and STs looks to be fixed for lack of a better word.

 

My biggest concern is that Callahan isn't a guy who will be able to grow into the role. There is a legit concern imo that Callahan just isn't ready, even though I really like some of the coaches on staff. 

 

If Cally can show growth and the roster continues to improve, I think that would be the best case scenario for this team, especially if Ward and the Oline/recievers start to gel as the season goes on.

The counter to that is "it's not *that* we lost, it's *how* we lost."

 

But that's just moving the goalposts and looking for someone to blame. Callahan made himself plenty presentable for blame with some of his decisions and like @OILERMAN said he has unnecessarily made himself a target because of how he handled a largely irrelevant moment in the game. 

 

I say largely irrelevant because the decision not to challenge the catch was a bit down the totem pole of reasons why the Titans lost the game. It's not unimportant, but I think other things hurt them a lot more. But the non-challenge is what everyone and their mother has been fixated on since the clock hit 0:00.

 

It's just not what a bad 3-14 team needed. But no one ever said climbing out of the gutter with one hand tied behind your back would be easy or pretty.

I think he understands concepts and how to scheme open WRs but maybe not how to call plays within the flow of a game.

 

I’ll give him the out of having Levis and a bad OL last year .

 

But at the minimum this team should be ascending/improving on offense the second half of the year .  That is the measuring stick.
