I hope I'm wrong but this Titans team is gonna disappoint a lot of people if they keep playing the way they are.

I am starting to think we fired Mularkey way too late. Other than coordinators, I dont think have we the quality coaches we need. For example: We have a bunch of college coaches, our RB coach came from WV and WV doesnt even run the ball. Our O-line coach used to coach RBs in Atlanta. Our QB coach used to an offensive assistant for the Texans. Maybe I'm ranting and overreacting.

Two things are pretty obvious to me.

Mariota still has trouble reading defenses and getting his team in better looks.

We still have issues with pass rush, in fact we may very well take a step back.

It might have something to do with Casey, Orakpo, Matthews, Walker not playing.

The Browns won all of their preseason games last year, then proceeded to go 0-16 in the regular season. That's the best example of the preseason not being important.

The 08 Lions did the same thing. I have no idea why anyone cares about preseason games other than it's some football to watch.

What the heck is wrong with Evans? When will teams learn to not draft Bama players early? Warmack was enough and there are plenty of later round players that have vastly outperformed Henry thus far, im afraid Evans will probably be added to the list. One year starter just like Kevin Dodd.

I'm sorry, I really don't see how Walker and Matthews not suiting up has any bearing on Mariota's ability to recognize an obvious blitz package that was in no way disguised and check into a play that had a chance at success.

The fact we have zero pass rush at this point is an issue. We can hope the two draft picks on D can fill the need. Orakpo when he returns will be great but he needs help and we have had no one step up in his absence.

Yes this is the preseason and these are throe away games but the entire division should be better then last year. I don't see a team right now that looks like it will translate to an improved squad on the field and that is what we needed to see if we want to compete. Can't depend on getting lucky like we did last year, it just doesn't happen regularly in the NFL.

Henry had over 700 yards rushing last season you bozo in a backup role. What did you expect, for him to lead the league in rushing? LOL

I meant they were both only one year starters in college.

I misunderstood, my apologies. Although, it would seem like him being a one year starter would benefit us since the argument for drafting Bama players tends to be that they are used up by the time they get to the NFL.

I watched the first three series and then went out to do yard work. I finally start scrolling twitter later that night and its Mariota this and Mariota that. I'm like what did he do after I left during those first three drives the biggest problems I saw was the O-line and not Mariota.

I don't put a lot of stock in preseason games, scrimmages etc. but the Offensive Line looked terrible. IMO

Henry can't run up the middle to save his life. 1/3 of that 700 was long runs in garbage time. I don't expect him to lead the league in rushing, but I do expect him to use is 6'5" 250lbs frame to get the hard yards. He hasn't shown that ability yet. Hopefully he does this year though
