Film Room: Titans Offense

[ellis]

Time to take a look at the Titans running game on game day eve here. Will have a look at their passing game later on tonight.

It’s formidable. It’s different than what Shanahan does, but it’s no less overwhelming. This was all against the number one run defense in the NFL. 

 

 

[LinvilleGorge]

If Henry doesn't put up 150+ I'll be surprised. We'll probably be the worst run D in the NFL in most if not all categories after tomorrow.

 

This honestly could end up being an all-time bad rushing defense. I don't see it getting any better as our few big bodies get worn down over the course of the season due to lack of depth there.

[Black&BlueBubba]

Let’s see if RR can actually correct this run defense.  

Can I just say that I respect any team that runs 13 personnel.  I love smash mouth football.

Side Note: Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston went one and two.

I say that out loud every once in a while just to remind myself that it actually happened and I didn't dream it

I watched about 70% of the Titans/Buccaneers tape today. My goodness, Winston makes some really, really awful decisions. Not like we didn’t know that, but my goodness. The Bruce Arians experiment, I always felt, would fail. He asks too much. Seven step drops. Holding the ball way too long. You saw what happened in London. When you shut down that run early, you can swarm around him and force him into terrible decisions. They don’t run an efficient offense. They put big points at times, but it’s not efficient. It’s built on the deep ball. You can’t be that one dimensional, with that quarterback, and not turn the ball over dozens of times.

[Mr. Scot]

I've never been that big a fan of Arians honestly, at least not as a head coach.

Having Carson Palmer in Arizona probably helped him a lot more than people think.

Linebackers are going to have to find the right gaps tomorrow.  We absolutely cannot overpursue like we did in SF.

[Ivan The Awesome]

I love your nuggets, Ellis. 

[mc52beast]

Love the old school smash mouth football. I know it’s not popular among the fantasy football geeks but if you can out-physical your opponent in the run game that wears them down. Brings back memories of Woody Hayes and his “3 yards and a cloud of dust”.

[JARROD]

Henry got held to 68 yards and a touchdown.

i would say we are improving.

Helps that their coach decided not to use him for some reason

[Mr. Scot]

I actually did feel like they could have run on us all day. They sure as hell did on that one drive.

Coaching really does matter, folks.

[Mr. Scot]

Related Note: The Titans OC only got the job this year. He's been coaching in the NFL for around ten years I think, but the first few years were spent on the defensive side of the ball.
