WR Jacoby Ford joins the Titans

That seems like a very simple explanation that can be gathered just by watching, but there must be much more to it than that if the players are having such a hard time telling if they are improving or not. PK published a link to a Nate Washington / Kendall Wright interview where both said the system was much different than anything they had been in before. Doesn't seem that much different than what Palmer tried to do in his last few months here really. However, we do not know what Whiz is requiring of the WRs so it's really a guessing game. You have to think there is much more to it than run deep and catch it or the players would not be second guessing themselves so much.

It just seems like if things were headed in the right direction two starters would know where they stand in the system.

I am not saying it will not eventually work, but I have to question communication.

 

I really dont think it's that big of a deal. When learning anything, you start at chapter 1. Sure, you know you are taking a class for ____ 101, but you dont know the ins and outs of it. You take it a page at a time to learn and build. Then you expand.

You dont start teaching anyone, anything, by looking at the end result.

 

What happened to that Preston WR everyone seemed to like?

 

can't teach 6-5 213 with speed

hard not to like him

typically for the Titans for reasons known only to people who never speak Preston didn't get snaps so now hes a fish

 

During the course of teaching that "101 Class" if the slow kid in the class doesn't understand don't you take the time to show him how to do it correctly?? If he is still not doing it correctly don't you then say, hey kid you are not getting it. You need to put some more study time in on this part of it???? If the kid ( Wright & Washington) have no idea if they are progressing, doesn't that say something about the teacher & the teaching method???

As I have said before, I am not saying it is not going to work. I am saying that this year two starters not knowing where they stand is not good. The method must change for progress to made with the people you are teaching.

 

No, they fail out of the course and find a new major.

They just dont know how far along they are.

Not being hard on you, I just disagree. Where they think they are doesnt matter, just run the routes (without slipping) and catch the ball.

 

Hey I am not taking this as an argument, I enjoy the back & forth as well as value the opinions I get from guys like you who respond with passion like I do on most accounts.

To some extent I agree. However, when one of the guys has been your most reliable pass catchers for 2yrs & all the sudden doesn't even know where he stands; I see that as a communication issue. I do not lay it all on Whiz. Wright should be able to stay on his feet (As well as others). However, the HC is responsible for the product on the field. I think the GM is even more responsible. So when a guy that caught nearly 100 passes for your team last year cannot stay on his feet the next year; someone should be talking to that guy one on one. maybe they did and he is just not smart enough to get it. However, I never heard that. I did read the article from Nate/Wright that they did not know where they stood. I hope that Whiz gets it figured out for the teams' sake. I do still feel that the issues we had with WRs should have been addressed with them one on one. Even the slips. The HC should have went to the Equipment Manager & said, hey our guys are not smart enough to stay on their feet. Get some longer cleats in their dang shoes!!! I also think he should have pulled Wright aside & said, son you are not getting done on your routes. Get those cleats I had ordered, do this or that better & catch the dang ball.

I have spent the last 14yrs as a Warehouse Supervisor. My Manager always says that the end result is on me no matter how my guys perform I have to see that coming & fix it before it becomes an issue. Maybe that's why I feel so much falls on Whiz. I do see why it falls on the WRs too, I just feel the ultimate results fall on Coaching in a lot of the issues we had. hey can mostly be fixed easily if Whiz will adjust. I hope he does.
