    They both are bad, but at least one of the picks was on Downing for calling the same WR screen enough for a DB to jump it.

    Don’t forget that 2020 actually gave us 4 starters/HQ backups. Fulton, NWI, Teair Tart and Brewer. JRob crushed UDFA that year.

    Dowing is largely to blame for those 3 picks too.

    Appropriate place for this, 2022 titans already made the series “dumb decisions”.

    It is unbelievable how dead on accurate this video is calling out EXACTLY what we all said.

    Couple numbers brought up, before that carry, Henry 20 carries, zero negative yard rushes.
    Over the previous 3 seasons, Henry n 3/4 and 1, reached First down 31/40 times
    Previous times Vrabel called TE handoff, both were 3rd and 1 and absolutely stuffed.

    Possibly the dumbest play call Vrabel has ever allowed and likely cost the game.

    Brewer doesn't need to be a starter. But obviously for a UDFA, he's doing very well.

    Can't argue with any of that...Henry should get the ball on most if not all 3 and 1 and 4 and 1s...Vrabel needs to stop trying to get cute, it bites him in the ass more times than not

    So a 98.5 and 83 rating under Art and it drops to 66.7 under Downing, and it’s “Downing Hate?” Maybe you need to learn how to observe football and numbers both. Anyone who has watched this team could tell the offense took a major downturn starting week 1 last season and has been flat ever since. That’s the reality. It started out I was the only one criticizing Downing, now the entire fan base is. Maybe eventually you’ll figure out I know what I’m talking about.

    Bad play calling and play design leads to picks. And they certainly did in that game. In order for that WR screen to work, Tannehill had to make the throw immediately. That was the play design. But like most of Downing’s “special plays” it was poorly designed and poorly timed during the game and it failed like they all do.

    There is nothing to execute most plays. If you go to the games, you can see he rarely has a receiver open, but when he does, he’s accurate with the football. I love how everyone loved Tannehill under Art, then we get a new dunce coordinator that not only destroyed Tannehill, but the entire offense and now suddenly Tannehill can’t play. Get real. The proof is in the pudding.
