Tony Brown's stupidity Continues

Bruce Smith, always offsides. At first it bothered me. But on the last one, when the penalty is half the distance, it's not a bad gamble. You don't lose a lot. A couple of yards. But if you gamble correctly you change the game. So I'm a split on this one. The others, terrible. This one, not so bad.

 

Trust, I understand D-line, and I KNOW, offsides is not a part of D-line play. Also, I love it when we get sacks, but if it's a the scarafice of giving up 5 yrds on 3rd and short several times a game, I'll settle for a batted ball, or a QB pressure, in place of the sack.

Hey, on a side note, does everyone else see AH now always trying to leap over the top of the o-line when there's a goaline situation?? He thinks that since it worked the one time against Jacksonville last yr, it will always work, which now it doesn't b/c everybody and their mother has seen it.

 

exactly. if anything, that would be the time to do it, the risk is worth the reward.

now against the colts when he flinched on 4th and inches, that was ridiculous.

 

I got annoyed with it in the Jags game, particularly when the cameras showed him laughing when we were down by 11, but he came back out and played a heck of a half. To get big plays, these guys are taking risks. I'll start yelling at Tony Brown when I see Washburn doing it (more than normal).

 

As far as no penalty is acceptable... I actually heard AH on the radio the other day, and the topic of conversation was contrary to that.

Basically, if you are going to play very aggressive on the D-line, it is acceptable and almost likely that the D-line could see 1-2 penalties a game. Obviously, you don't want that, but if you are going ultra-aggressive on a d-rush, then coaches know it's likely to happen.

It just can't get out of control. And it can't happen in crucial situations.. like third and less than 5 on the Titans side of the field.



How bad have Tony Brown's penalties been? Just wondering because I can't recall off the top of my head.

 

IMO, not very bad at all. Sure there have been a few untimely calls, but to me the reward is worth the risk of the penality.

 

I think this thread is kind of useless. We all know that this is going to be addressed. As for Tony Brown, the guy has over performed to a level higher than what almost anyone may have expected. He's been a bright spot even if he has things he needs to work on. And knocking the guy because he tries to stay upbeat and positive isn't right. It's not like he's shoving Washburn and telling the papers he doesn't care.

 

I would be OK with him spitting on Donnie Nickey though

 

Based on his post game interview and his reaction to things on the field i just think he is a flacke and has a few loose screws. I have few problems with his play penalties and all.

In the post game interview he answered questions like this. You guys really got run on today brown with a smile on his face "Well of course". He answered many of the most negative questions beginning with "well of course".

Look i think that while he is a little odd his attitude is good for the team because while we want our guys to be mad from thde loss we don't want everyone down. If you asked if this team would have a loss in the first 11 games you would say of course.
