If you watched the 4th quarter of the stealers/titans game, I noticed anew a trend that annoys me to no end. After the stealers scored their field goal to tie the game, titans get the ball with about 2:40 left to win it. What does Dick Lebeau do? Orders a full out blitz instead of a passive D. What happens? after a first down, collins throws 3 incompletions.

Now the stealers get the ball. what do the titans do? Play that passive 4 man rush, drop 7 into coverage zone CRAP. It was so obvious that the titans couldn't get the rush they needed--their guys were gassed. Yet the coaches kept calling it. and rothlessworthlessburger had all the time he needed to complete passes and win the game. Heck, they would have won it in regulation had ward not fumbled.

why do most coaches call this d late in the game? seriously? it doesn't work. are they afraid of losing their jobs? are they afraid of fans/media questioning them if blitzing doesn't work? why?

while i am not a fox basher by any means, i GUARANTEE that's exactly the D he and meeks would have run in that situation. and the result would have been exactly the same.

Warren Sapp on NFL Total Access post game watching that series said "3 man rush at that time should be outlawed!"

And he's right. They were getting to Ben all night...4 sacks I think and lots of pressures and they decide to go passive? Genius. Look...are they tired...yes...so are they. You have to overcome and push it. The team that does wins more often than not. So many games are won/lost in the final minutes of NFL games...

I don't think that the Titans have the ability to rush the passer, nearly as much as the Steelers.

It's one of the many strengths of the 3-4 Defense.

Umm it's a personel issue, not to mention LeBeau is HOF Coordinator.

any scheme will work when you get the right personel

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By TD alt · Posted

      That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
