Funchess did not look good today. Disappointing really.

I've had high hopes on him after reading all the camp reports.  But sadly after this week and watching Tenn #4 WR they drafted in the 3rd.  Roast us worse and worse and worse each time we've faced him and watch our staff make zero adjustments on the 3 separate occasions we've faced them.  I'm think our own staff and DBs are quiet possibly the cause for the Funchess hype.

Kalil and Moton both looked good. In fact, the offensive line overall has been a pleasant surprise. In fact, other than backup LT I feel pretty good.

Mike Adams did not look impressive. Colin Jones and Teddy Williams both hopefully only see the field on ST

Worley- got beat pretty easily 

Can you point to a few examples? On TEN's first two drives, I didn't see Worley beat on anything. I'll show a few examples:

I'm sure the first play you'll bring up is the Walker touchdown.

9.gif.3fa03d5e0d2bda3a08299a87007e8acb.gif

First of all, Worley guarding Walker was not his original assignment. Worley is playing two trap, meaning he jumps on flat routes that develop & Walker not on his "to guard" list. Adams was Walkers assignment.

Essentially, this was a pure mismatch of Adams vs Walker and Adams proved to be too slow on the play. Easy touchdown. Worley not at fault because that was never his assignment.

Panthers in man coverage with base defense to start off. Mariota throws a picture perfect pass to receiver who was covered very tightly by Worley.

On the play above, there was nothing the Panthers coverage could've done. Worley was all over his man in a perfect position to wrap and take him out of the play. Mariota just made an even better pass and play to his receiver. Nothing to blame our defense on here.

Panthers in base defense against a spread Tennessee look. Playcall cover 2. Mariota connects with his receiver for an easy reception.

This play here goes on our coverage rather than our defenders. Once again, the Panthers are running base defense. Although it is preseason and Luke's not in, that doesn't excuse the fact that running base defense against this style offense isn't going to work out.

One thing I will knock on Worley is not gaining enough depth on this play in the back. But even so, Worley would've likely been unable to do anything about this even in perfect position. A very tough assignment.

The Titans simply just spread and find themselves an opening in our coverage. Can't do much defensively in that personnel.

Hmm a lot of people not going to like this

I didn't look at the exact matchup just the play overall of the guy getting wide open.  I'm putting 99% of the blame on the staff like I noted of how this week has gone.  There are gifs out there of the same thing happening day 1 scrimmage, then day 2 scrimmage same thing, then today.  Zero adjustments, while Tenn kept adjust each and every time they've faced us and you saw the end result.  They progressed while we regressed as the week went

I didn't get to see the game... can anyone tell me why people are saying Armah is a winner? He didn't show up on the score sheet and I would hope someone blocking wouldn't put them on the winners list.

 

 

also is it me or was our major problem this game miscommunication and major mistakes like rookie DE Hall going into the wrong gap allowing a huge run. Maybe it was just the game we needed to make our team realize we suck and need to get focused. Better now than in the regular season.

    • After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...
    • My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
