Week 13: CLE @ TN... "there's thirteen hundred and fifty two Guitar pickers in Nashville"
-
Final Practice reports...
And Titans report...
- Simmons looks to be on track to be a game-time decision... same for starting OG, Saffold.
- Starting OT Wilson, TE Smith and CB Jackson are all Out.
- Remainder, including Brown, Kelly and Landry are ready to go.

Quessenberry is playing LT right now....did pretty good last week. We wish we still had Jack Conklin but he was too expensive after we didn't pick up his 5th year option.
Dennis Kelly is a reliable RT but not the same talent as Conklin. But Kelly is easily the best trade (from the Eagles, for a WR who is out of the league now) that the Titans have gotten in recent memory.
As I said before, Isaiah Wilson will probably never play another snap as a Titan. Too much trouble, on and off the field.
We need Saffold to play...if not, it may be a long day on the O-line.
-
Wilson is turning into the Titans version of JFF & JG.? What a waste of talent.
-
Not even close to being important. Isaiah Wilson is well on his way to being the biggest bust in Titans history. He's only seen the field once, and that was in the last game in the last few garbage time plays. He's had two car wrecks, a DUI, COVID list twice including one where he was caught at a college campus party and nearly jumped out of a second story window. And then he's never been on Vrabel's good side in terms of actually playing football. He's well on his way to being cut.

Sucks to have a pick wasted like that. We been there. We done that.

Yes, you have. And it was bigger news since it was your star QB. At least no one is talking about our whiff at the draft outside of Nashville.
-

But beyond Johnny there were so many more 1st rounders whiffed upon. You don't get to suck as bad, or for as long as we had without being bad at the draft. It took a herculean effort by our owner to make sure he hired a litany of bad coaches and GMs.
You think Tannehill is better than Baker? I can't argue that, as I'm not sure how good Baker really is....but I really wouldn't want to have to count on either of them having to take the team on their back to win games. I think they both need the running games that they've got.

Your owner is well known in these parts. It's amazing that he was a pretty good at the truck stop business....well, federal indictments not withstanding. His brother was a much better governor.
Tannehill isn't Mahomes, but who is? But he's proved his mettle around here and I'll take him against most opponents we face. Having Henry in the backfield does make his life easier. But you still have to connect with receivers and make good decisions. His TD/INT ratio is still excellent.
He's still not the most physically talented in the AFC south....that honor still goes to Deshawn Watson who is having a good year now that their coach was fired. But it's probably too late to sneak into the playoffs considering their start.
One thing about our defense....every now and then we make opposing QBs look like they belong in Canton, regardless of their skill level. I'm hoping it's not going to be one of those games.

Mrs. Wife likes the Dolphins. I didn't think much of him while he was there. But he's on a solid team now and is winning. Mayfield has been keeping the int's down of late and is winning. Stronger arm, but airmails guys.
Our defensive secondary is decimated. If Myles can't force Tannehill into mistakes it could be a long day for us.
Our owner seems like a crook. (like so many high level business men) How is it that Jimmy and the janitor are the only two guys that didn't know what was going on?

Ooh, that is a good point, the Browns were in first place in November back in 2014.
I wonder who on here were big Johnny Football fans?
Who??

Not having to face Jonnu makes a hell of a difference.

Not on the polyboard where I have reached Darth Vader status.?
I was thinkin.... Alfred E. Newman status.
Man. Baker Mayfield sucks. He is so average.
I wish the "experts" in sports who said that would have it brought
back up to them, and they would have to own up to it....

That will never happen. Those guys have the easiest job in the world. They come up with these "hot takes" say whatever they want and move on.
That muppet Mel Kipper and Tod McShaw are even worse. How they get paid for "draft analysis" and neither one of the are ever close to anything makes me wonder about western civilization.

Tannehill did well against us. - There's no quit in you guys. - Good luck the rest of the way.

This game will be won or lost in the trenches. Whichever OL is able to impose its will to the greatest degree wins.
The way to stop... or at least slow.... Henry is to bottle him up and not let him reach the 2nd level with a head of steam. He needs a hole to be where it is supposed to be. Stuff him early and often and get a lead, then we effectively take him out of the game. And that tees up our now bookend DEs...
Easier said than done? Absolutely... both Titan OGs are having good years so Ogun and Richardson are going to have to be at their best to disrupt and keep our LBs clean. But if we can shift the burden to Tannehill, then we have favorable matchups on the edges and Tannehill is affected by pressure. He needs to be because Brown and Davis scare me going against our 2ndary.
A little stat look-see...
Titan Offense ranks:
- 6th in scoring offense averaging 29.5 ppg.
- 3rd in rushing averaging 158.2 ypg and T-5th in YPC (4.9)
- 22nd in passing averaging 227.5 ypg and 7th in YPA (7.4).
Titan D...
- 20th in scoring D allowing 25.9 ppg.
- 16th in rush D allowing 115.5 ypg and 4.3 ypc (16th best).
- 28th in pass D allowing 268.5 ypg and 6.7 ypa (T-14th).
We can do this...
- 28th in pass D allowing 268.5 ypg and 6.7 ypa (T-14th).

Kevin took due note of that factoid Tour.
"You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind............................................"?
Browns apparently brought a load of kryptonite to Nashville with them. Who'd a thunk it.
(Bonus question? Did Gipper & Vrabel have classroom desk together in this Akron classroom?
)
Well....it was Norton (which included Westside Steve in my class) not Akron , and it was Vrabel's Dad Chuck who was a teacher/football coach there. I never had him as a teacher nor did I play football....so to be honest, I never really interacted with the man. He later went on to be a school principal at like Buckeye HS perhaps.
If you had wanted to share a classroom desk with Mike Vrabel you would have had to have attended Walsh Jesuit HS in Cuyahoga Falls.
I'll have to ask my pal's son if he ever crossed paths with Vrabel. He would have been a freshman at Walsh when Vrabel was a senior....
Here are picks from one site. 4 of 4 pick the Titans straight up and 2 of 3 pick the Titans giving away 5.5 points.
And they all totally blew the upset of the week when the Giants shockingly beat the Seahawks.

Ah, I'm going to take you off ignore soon Cal. I'm deserting that other forum shortly. Yall can believe whatever fantasies you want to over there. Had to reluctantly put my Mod hat on- after a Ghoolie wannabe couldn't control his potty mouth.
