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.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
