    Let's face it folks. What we saw against Pittsburg doesnt come close to what this team has the potential to be. Practice is one thing, yeah Corey Davis looks GREAT in practice, but why cant him and Mariota get on the same page in a game?! Well, preseason gives us a little time to figure that out. Nothing replicates real game reps.

    Personally, I think the first string offense should play in the next game to try and get some god damn momentum going into games that count. Thoughts?

    Preseason is really still just practice that the NFL has figured out how to monetize. Its hardly all its cracked up to be.

    This is when you want to get mistakes out of the way.

    Now if we come to week 1 and Mary is sailing balls to nowheresville then sure call him out. Hes been pretty good not to make the same mistakes long term.

    But were talking about practices right now.

    Preseason is important for Refs to get "real game" experience.

    This all day long. Preseason means nothing. Joe Thomas was on the DP show the other day and was ask what we can really learn from watching pre season and he said “nothing”. There is no game planning or prepping for an opponent, no tendencies to attack or take advantage of, no mid game adjustments...these factors change every thing. Make judgments after a few weeks of the real season...not now.

    I remember 1992 week 3 preseason ( forth game for the Oilers ) , Oilers at Saints. Man we looked great in that game , firing on all cylinders. This , THIS was going to be the tale tale sign of how the season would play out. You know, because it's the "dress rehearsal" for the season. Finished a "STRONG" 4-1 during the preseason.
    Then week 1 reared its ugly head , you know when the games actually count. What a F***ing let down aginst the steelers. We lost at home to a div. Opponent to kick start the season 29- 24.
    If only there was a way for that Ever Important Dress rehearsal preseason game to prepare me for what happened in the playoffs that year ...
    That was the very last time that I ever put any stock what so ever on preseason games.
    All I care about is no injuries ...

    The only positive I see in preseason is for testing out the new offense. Not necessarily plays we will run a lot during the season but at least the foundation of the offense and see if players understand what they are supposed to do.

    Now obviously the offense still has plenty of work to do. We already knew this. That's why the Mariota farewell thread is freaking retarded. The whole offense is learning a new system. Mariota isn't the only one making mistakes out there. Hell if you go back and watch the play where he threw the int it was apparent that either Williams or Taylor ran the wrong route because they both ran the same route to the same side of the field. Its the growing pains we will surely see for now.

    Oh and one more thing about that 1992 season. Cowboy fans were freaking the f**k out during the preseason because they looked "Bad" ... They ended the season as Super Bowl champs.
    But hey, the preseason is "Important" ...

    3 Reasons you're dead wrong
    -Titans S Jonathan Cyprien injured in PRACTICE
    -Titans CB Kalan Reed injured in PRACTICE
    -Titans CB Tye Smith injured in PRACTICE

    For every player lost in preseason action, 10 are lost on the practice field. So by your reasoning we shouldn't practice either?!

    Game reps: different looks, different players, different defensive techniques, etc. These are the things that you will face in the regular season. These are the things you can use as much preparation for as possible.
