Enjoyable read.  

I don't know about the John Fox comment however.  I think that his tenure,  especially the latter part,  was unduly affected negatively by the business side of football,  leaving him with mere facades of complete teams. 

john fox's philosophy was that players should adapt to the scheme, rather than the scheme adapting to the players. aside from the classic run-run-draw dynamic, this was probably the biggest criticism of his actual football philosophy. fox was notorious for trying to shoehorn players into inflexible positions and insisting their failures at that position were a judgement of their value.

fox would've keep running cotchery on go routes until he was fired. shula has adapted... probably part of why gettleman (who has no qualms about dropped the axe on underperformers) has decided he's worth keeping around.

tennessee made adjustments after those first two drives; they went from playing a ton of zone and hoping their front four would get pressure to sending the house on nearly every down. it was a quick shift by the titans and it took shula most of the game to respond.

I'm sensing a bit of hyperbole or are you seriously suggesting that Shula called nothing but go routes for 3 full quarters?

no, not go routes specifically, but lots of long, slow-developing stuff. half those deep routes were punctuated by double moves halfway up the field, probably designed to get subpar corners to bite or get turned around.

not a bad plan really, just needed to be adjusted as soon as TEN started storming the gates every down.

1) Please don't use the term "bro" again unless you're quoting Seinfeld or a white Eagles fan with corn-rows.

2) Don't copy and paste the ENTIRE original post when commenting, especially when commenting about how long it is.

      I hate to burst anyones bubble but this guy played 188 total defensive snaps in three years but 802 special teams snaps. If we do kick the tires, it's probably gonna be for that latter part.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.
