This was expected. Now, they will make Bowen official.
Yeah, when I saw Hamilton going to the Texans I was pretty sure.You called it. I guess the Special teams coach is gonna get promoted to DC now.
I would guess one reason he was hired is so the playbook doesn’t change. I think the key will be in-game adjustments next season. We were not consistent in that area on either side of the ball. We need to be better prepared when our battering ram approach gets slowed down.Not a good way for me to start the day lol. I just don't get it. Will he even change the playbook? I mean.....this is what we waited for? This really sucks.
I like it. Some dummy fans were calling for Lincoln Riley like he was going to give up $7.5 mil a year to be an OC. And I don't really want some veteran OC that is going to change everything up to do it his way. We have the pieces. Continuity is important. ...and the year he was OC in Oakland was the year that Amari and Crabtree were hot garbage and dropped everything.
Now DC is a different story. We need a reboot.
I don’t know, a 6 game swing from year one to year two is more than dropped passes. But, I hope it works out. He was clearly the best on staff pick. If we go Bowen again, I’m gonna need stronger meds.I like it. Some dummy fans were calling for Lincoln Riley like he was going to give up $7.5 mil a year to be an OC.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
At least Downing has been an OC before (ranked 15th in passing, 30th in Rushing with the Raiders) and there will be continuity with the playbook and personnel.
One thing I am interested to see if there is actually any change in the run % on first down. This season, the Titans ran at a rate of nearly 65% on first down when the league average is closer to 50/50. In 2019, the Titans ran on first down at a rate of over 60% and in 2018 it was just under 60%. This has been a huge issue since Vrabel took over.
For comparison sake, under Mularkey the Titans were nearly even in terms of pass/run on first down. In both years the Titans threw the ball slightly more often on first down than ran it (like 49/51 or something)
