    That’s because it harder to throw an interception when you run it.

    everyone here knows that.. now how many times did he call a rushing play on 2nd down after already calling one on 1st?

    probably 200 out of 276

    I think too much criticism is laid upon Tannehill. It is hard to be successful when the opponent always knows what you’re doing. He constantly faced 3rd and long due to predictability on 1st and 2nd.

    Downing's offense sucks but I don't see an issue with running the ball a lot on first down when you have the best running back in the league

    The Titans being way too run heavy on first down isn't limited to Downing's tenure as OC. It has been an issue since Vrabel became the head coach and has spanned multiple OC's.

    Until Vrabel changes his offensive philosophy, it does not matter who the OC is. The Titans will run way too much on first down. This overreliance on first down puts more pressure on the offense creating many 2nd and 3rd and Longs for the offense to overcome.
