    I hear you. But I also know many of these same players have played better. Saffold was considered the top G in FA for a reason. He's now regressing just because he has a new OL coach?

    What I am seeing, and I'm far from an expert, are fundamental flaws. These are things these guys have been taught since high school. Stuff like footwork, using your hands—technical stuff.

    This is stuff you refine during training camp. Once the season begins, it's on the player to do what they've been taught.

    I look at this like when Mariota throws a worm burner or sails a ball 10 feet over an open receiver's head. He has been taught mechanics forever. So, when he does this, is it on the QB coach?

    I don't think so. You get that player off the field if there is a better option.

    Right. But to do so means admitting that you as the coach are not capable of getting the players that the same guy that hired you to play at the level they need to play. OR the guy that hired you simply acquired players incapable of playing at that level.

    And therein lies the problem we’re facing.........

    Carter was an assistant OL coach with the Falcons for two years and college before that.

    I'm not an apologist for any coach on this team. I just find it strange when the FG kicker misses four attempts in one game, it's the player and not the Special Teams coach if we're going to blame Carter for OL play.

    It's a two-way street... I'm sure the players get pumped by the fans and play harder, but... the team has to give fans a reason to, at least, care.

    The team gets pretty good... the fans come and get loud to, potentially, propel the team to really good.

    I think we agree there are multiple persons/units responsible. But errors and faults are different from responsibilities. There is a hierarchy of responsibility. We agree it is the HC’s responsibility to provide a method to correct the mistakes/faults and ultimately the personnel if the player can not stop the faults/mistakes. And it is the GM who is responsible for the HC’s ability/performance to manage the coaching responsibility. And the owner’s responsibility to the fan base to get a GM that can handle the gm responsibilities. Haven’t seen/heard much from Amy lately.

    Typical of this organization... we draft Mariota and give him a TE Coach as his QB Coach.

    Titans gonna Titan.
