Post-Game Thread Titans 33 - Seahawks 30

We better get some calls our way this week. The Juliio Non-TD and the No-safety call were just outright egregiously wrong. Like not even close wrong.

 

One big adjustment in the 2nd half was we started throwing to the RBs more. We should always have Henry on screens but we saw short passes to Henry and McNichols where on occasion they were able to get up field and McNichols got a couple of crucial first downs. In fact Tannehill needs to be a little quicker on his outlets because he had an easy first down on one play where he did throw to the TE but he was already being hit. Let a TE help with pass blocking and slide off as an outlet. Same with RBs. Notice those work well when you have Julio and Brown getting attention from the Ss.

Pruitt had a real nice game and Rodgers also contributed as the 3rd WR. Just too many weapons for the defense and we saw it come together. They also brought Brown in tight and used him as a blocker which he is pretty good at. Helped spring Henry on his long run.

Great game with everyone contributing.

 

We should sit Henry on First downs instead of 3rd downs. He should be playing every third down with his pass catching ability / threat along with how he keeps the defense honest cuz they have to watch the run which Arthur Smith never used even tho it was obvious he could catch

 

Henry was tremendous at doing the things that he doesn't normally do and that is picking up the blitz and catching balls out of the backfield.

Pruitt was awesome and will certainly see more playing time.

Swaim is a very poor blocker because he was consistently getting shoved backwards....unless the plan is to have his guy push him back 2 yrds to open a run lane

My fears about Molden are coming to fruition...he is too slow to chase a speedy slot wr in man coverage...2 weeks in a row has been responsible for giving up a big play....I like the kid and feel that he will be an impact player for us, but as a coach you have got to scheme to protect his lack of speed

Really looking forward to seeing how our pass rush is against a QB who isn't really a threat to run...my feeling is that Landry and Dupree have been coached to really set the edge on their rushes to make sure to not lose containment and they have done a good job with that...I'm expecting them to go after the QB more this week and I expect to see some stunts with them taking an inside route to the QB

 

Don’t forget the first down they gave Seattle when the guy was more than two yards away.

 

Still can't believe Vrabel didn't challenge that 4th down call.

 

Yeah. They've clearly been playing to contain. And it worked, Russell had to step up where Simmons was waiting for him.

Can't wait to see those guys against either a hobbled Wentz or Eason next week.

Eason is really really bad. If he gets the start, should be fun.

 

Same but the way the refs were working they wouldn’t have overturned it

 

be careful backup qbs have a history of torching the Titans. Hopefully that trend has ended though

 

Did we lose to a backup in week 1? The answer is no. So this team doesn’t have a history of getting torched by backups.
