I’m not mad at Fenton for that play. I’m furious that Honey Badger didn’t do anything.

If he helps make that tackle we stop them.

Jones goes to DE and kicks inside on passing situations
Pennell, Saunders and Nnadi split reps close to evenly at DT
Breeland sits and The top 3 CBS are Ward, Claiborne and Fuller
Ragland at Sam Hitch in the middle and Wilson start in base package
Thornhill comes in on passing downs and is almost exclusively used in single high looks
More aggressive calls, twists and other strategies to get pressure on QBs more consistently.

We face a lot of statues in the last 6 games. This front 7 needs to earn their money down the stretch.

Looking at you, Chris Strahan.

Not really, he even did it earlier in the game; it was his tackle for a loss, IIRC.

And Clark did it in the DEN game, the BAL game a couple times, and the DET game, off the top of my head. His recognition of the play is at that level. Jones is a great DT and pass rusher, and I'll even give him credit that he's not bad against the run most of the time, but his recognition on those two plays were not very good, period.

I believe that he just doesn't have enough experience at DE to recognize some situations, rather than he doesn't care. When he realized that Henry was cutting back on that 68-yarder, Jones reacted by charging the gap hard, diving at Henry, and then getting up and racing downfield. If he didn't care, I don't think he'd have gone to all that trouble.

He made a couple mistakes that cost TDs, but at least for now, I'm going to give him a pass, because I think they were honest mistakes.

But Clark never gets beaten in that fashion. At least not through the first six games that I've reviewed. In fact, if you try a cut back run like that, Clark usually sees it coming and closes the gap before the runner gets there, forcing him back to the inside.

Clark ran himself out of the play on a 3rd and ten, allowing Tannehill to run for a first down. He did his classic move- run too far upfield, then spin like a cruise ship making a U-turn.

I would tell the offense to score at least one TD for every FG. Problem solved.

PFF grades vs the Titans

Highest
Hill 79.9
Mahomes 78.6
Hardman 78
Kelce 76.4
Nnadi 70.7

Lowest
Lucas 25.9
D. Wilson 34
Erving 35.1
Ragland 35.8
Hitchens 41.9

Overall 66
Offense 73.8
Defense 48.3 (lowest of season)
ST 54.5

I know it’s still early in his time here, but the Titans game was the first major eye opener for me that Spags might not have what it takes. How on earth do you make Pennell inactive in a game everyone knew the Titans would run the ball as the backbone of their offensive attack? Especially after the performance against Minnesota.

Seriously. If the guy just carbon copied his game plan from Minnesota to the Titans, we run away with the win.

Clark
Saunders/Pennell
Nnadi
Jones

That needed to be the DL and they needed to be a lot more aggressive.

Spags is a Trojan horse obviously

If guys continue to freelance and miss assignments/fill gaps, you bench them. I dont care who it is.

There are guys not on an NFL team at this moment who are athletic and smart enough to follow through on their assignments.

The Cowboys DC sits players if they don’t hustle. We should do the same

What good does it do to sit players? These guys aren't twelve years old. The team is very emotionally driven, when something bad happens, they fall apart. Maybe they don't trust each other, maybe they have gotten paid and don't really care about winning, maybe they don't listen to coaches or maybe they just aren't that good.

Players on both sides of the ball make mistakes that should be correctable.

I havent rewatched or done any analysis, but the defense looked light again. It's like they went back to what they were doing a month ago and again, it didn't work.

Our defense can't even slow down the run unless we've overloaded the box.

Well, Spaggot loves his zones.

You've heard of Cover 3 Zone?

Spaggot has the Queer 3 Zone. It's where the defenders bend over and grab their ankles.

You are so ****ing clueless... What were we running at the end of the game? How did that work out?
