There are so many formations, so many different plays, so many blocking strategies and yet I feel the offense is not fooling anyone.

It makes me wonder if Vrabel and Smith are milking the organization and skating thru their contracts. They seem to be putting their burdens on the QB as if he were some sort of scapegoat.

I believe this duo has made the OL look terrible. Defenses seem to know this offense like a book even to the point where it can't move the ball.

I know that both Vrabel and Smith are greenhorns but it may take decades or an eternity for them to learn how this game should be played. Too much inexperience and it shows.

Why not look at veteran coaches who are experienced play callers?
 
@TitanJeff can you move last couple post to the MM8 thread. This is to vent about team in general but last couple pages have turned in a straight MM8 argument topic.

“Mary stretched the field”! In comparison to what actually happened is misleading.

A 10 yard IN that the WR caught and made into a big play isn’t “Mary stretched the field.” A -2 yard screen pass that went to the house... isn’t “Mary stretched the field”

There’s 1 throw where we can say hey Mary stretched the field. And that’s fine. It’s good to see us trying to push defenders off the LOS.

“If Mariota can continue to stretch the field, it will do wonders for the offense as a whole.”

Perspective matters.

Not a single throw over 20 yards in the air for Tannehill. But you can’t stretch the field that way am I right?

PeRsPeCtIvE or something like that...

Did you happen to watch the game today? He had velocity on the ball we've basically never seen from DuckBoi. I don't even really like Tannehill, I'm just glad to see our team have a QB who can complete simple passes because it has been so long since we have seen that. By the way while I've got you, fuck Marcus Mariota and the five years he stole from all of us. At least Locker had the decency to go away and never come back after 4 years. Fuck Marcus Mariota.

You clearly don’t understand what you were responding to.

To simplify for you I’m praising Tannehill for his play today and simply showing another poster you don’t have to throw downfield to stretch the field.

Good for you though. Good post.

YEP. 100% mea culpa, entirely misread there, no doubt about it. But. While I've got you, fuck Marcus Mariota and anyone who ever wanted to draft him.

And I followed that up by saying there are multiple ways to “stretch the field”. Look around the NFL happens every week.

Perspective.

Sure there are.. but acting like that was some major Mary ‘stat’ is disingenuous.

“Mary STRETCHED the field” while the Rb or WR runs for 3/4 of the yards is a completely asinine way to attribute his contribution to the play.

You might as well say Art stretched the field.

Any historians here remember that time Mary stretched the field by Spiking it on 3rd and 2?

That was the defining moment I realized that under no circumstances is MM8 serviceable as an NFL QB.
 
And BTW- completing slants and quick outs, locks the safeties and CB's and cools off run blitzes. So having the nuts and arm to get the ball out with decisive accuracy buys time in later plays to go for some downfield throws. I'm certain we will take our shots once the opposing D's quit with the 8 man fronts and cheating DB's up.
 
I know most don’t want to talk about the “p” word, but titans currently sit #9, 1 game behind Houston, .5 behind Oakland, lost tie-breaker with Jax.

Right in the thick of it despite the end of the world-ers.

We probably need 7 of the next 10 to even have a shot. And gotta win those division games.

Tall order. Gotta take em one at a time.

When did I say anything about Mariota stretching the field? I was simply letting you know that you can do that without throwing the ball deep constantly. You just like to spout random stuff on here and claim it as “perspective” or something.

YAC is a huge part of most explosive offenses... this really isn’t difficult to understand.

In the original comment that YOU replied to, was in regards and referring to Mariota. Follow along.

Goal Posts... or something.

It was in regards to you saying that him having 40+ yards plays is misleading because of YAC lmao. You should follow along here bish bish.

So I let you know YAC was included in the other years stats too so it’s not misleading. Then you started to “inform” us on “stretching the field”

Yes considering the original statement “stretch the field” it was a misleading stat. You just want to argue. Enjoy.
