    Vrabel came out and put most of the blame on the players and Vrabel rewarded the person who apparently ran the defense last year with the defensive coordinator title (Bowen).

    Obviously, the Titans coaching staff (and Robinson) believe that the defense's lackluster performance ultimately fell mostly on the players, not the coaching staff. I do not necessarily agree, but most of the offseason moves made by Robinson support the organizations' belief that the players were mostly at fault.

    The question isn't whether Vrabel has an ego, the question should be whether Vrabel's ego hurts the team. Vrabel kept Bowen as DC and I would imagine he has some input as to what players on defense he wanted to upgrade. If the defense fails again, similar to this past season, the focus would most likely shift to him and Bowen to explain why the defense continues to struggle despite Vrabel/Bowen's scheme being retained and supposedly better players put in to execute the scheme. It's not like Vrabel can keep pointing to player execution as the primary factor in the defense struggling.

    Time will tell, but I do think we have seen Vrabel's stubbornness hinder the team at times.

    Answer this... is the title of this thread correct? Is what the original poster said Woodyard said correct? Just answer those questions please.

    I’m curious.. I must have missed the press conference when Vrabel blamed the players.

    So if the Titans defense is much better this season you will admit you are wrong about Vrabel and Bowen. That it was the players?

    Title is a stretch, he never said that. Most of the OP is correct (I’ll assume “same game” was meant to be “game”).

    Sure. This year. I don’t understand why you are dying on this hill. It’s pretty obvious that Vrabel, and I guess Bowen, did a poor job last year with the same group of players from 2019. You really believe that every defensive player not named Malcom Butler just decided to suck last year?

    I think Butler sucked. I think Vrabel sucked. I think Bowen sucked. I think they all sucked on 3rd down. Because we had NO PASS RUSH. I dying on the hill that 2019 wasn’t much better. They were better on 3rd down. That’s it.

    What? I’m responding to a thread that was started in a fan forum. What am I supposed to do? You happened to hear the interview. I would bet no more than 10 % of the people who have responded heard it.

    The fact that Bowen was hired as full time DC and the secondary was gutted, I'd say the players are getting the blame...Clowney and Beasley signings didn't help either
