Titans Work on Passing Game

I love watching Vince running around but, i also want to see him passing the ball as well. If Vince can go 70% passing, 30% running or, when ever it calls for him to get away. It would be awesome to see but heck "VY" keep on doing your thing if nothing else works. GO TITANS....

 

What amazes me is that although VY is a superb athlete he can't seem to do something as simple as set his feet properly when making his passes. Sure there are times when he has to make an off balance throw because he is trying to escape the rush but when he drops back and fires the ball he doesn't seem to have any coordination. Even little league baseball players can be instructed on how to properly step and throw. It really isn't that complicated and the throws he is having the hardest time with are the 20 yard or less throws.

 

I keep saying this....and I have to keep comparing him to Steve Mac. It took Steve Mac a better part of 3 yrs to become a real "Pass first" QB, and become consistent. I honestly believe that he already prefers to throw the ball first, but probably a combination of the following he has displayed a little inconsistency:

1. Receiver's slow to get open
2. Slow to diagnose coverage, make reads and go threw progressions
3. Complete understanding of the offense and plan of attack passing
4. Medicore offensive scheme/Coordinator (Chow)
5. Lack of a "Go-to-Guy"
6. Bad footwork at times

I really believe that as he gets his footwork down consistently, and he develops a relationship with a receiver (appears to be Scaife early on,.... see Steve Mac/Frank Wycheck), and the other recievers step up, I KNOW he will become the true "Dual Threat' QB he is.

Until then, expect a lot of teams to take the Patriots approach, and Blitz, Blitz, Blitz him. Nothing like being thrown in the fire & brimstone to help forge metal.

"Be not decieved VINCE YOUNG IS PURE STEEL.....BETTER YET......TITANIUM !!!!!

 

The screens, and throws to the Flat he struggles with, and your right it's all because of his footwork. It really erks me to see him throw one in the dirt, but don't be fooled, it's not as easy as it seems when you have 300lb linemen bearing down on you, and the blitz is coming hard. He'll get it down pat.

 

I don't see that happening. Blitzing Vince is very risky. You are generally putting your defenders in man coverage down the field and if we pick up the blitz, Vince is free to run for big gains. I think the Patriots bitzing the other night was more trying out assignments for their defense than any specific game plan for our offense.

I think you'll see a lot of underneath zone coverages, where defenders will all be facing Vince and force him to make the right read into the zones.

 

well if we woulda locked up one decent receiver this offseason we might have wide outs getting open faster and catching the ball.

 

It's funny, because I think the Pats took KB's statements personal, and rarely do teams blitz like that during the pre-season. They were obviously coming after our QB. They employed that same defense when we played them last season and it worked both times.

The flip side of it is Zone worked as well in defending VY when the Jaguars played us, but i believe it's b/c they have a D-line capable of pressuring the QB w/o blitzing.

Someone else played zone on us too and was pretty effective at it, but I can't remember who>>>

 

Great analysis from everyone!

Vince will be fine! He was fine last year he will be fine this year. everything is going to be fine! Of course we are working on our passing game because every team does and has to. When the season starts we are going to play kickass with the afc south!
