What were most of the looks the Titans had on D?

Recommended Posts

I only saw bits and pieces while on the coast.

From a cursory browse of the play by play I noticed some quick stuff.

Multiple sacks on 1st down.

Lots of incompletes to the left side.

Lots of 3 and outs.

First 3 passes to Smitty was like 1,2 and 2 yards.

Just curious as to what most of thier looks were? Because they did an OUTSTANDING job on not allowing Cam to get any type of rhythm or confidence.

They blitz on running downs and sent 3 on passing downs. When they blitzed the pressure, got there pretty fast, and when they only sent 3 the pressure was still pretty constant, with a lot of people in coverage.

I think they took away Smitty and the TE's and dared us to beat them with our Number 2 receiver.

TBH I think a lot of it was Cam being a Rookie and not knowing that the CB/DB was coming. It was multiple Blitzes from the right side that Cam likes to run too and just down right good pressure on the oline. Bell was outmatched all day and Chud made no adjustments. Not only did they use Cams weakness but also Chuds because they knew he would give up on the run when they were down.

Titans didn't blitz much really. The pressure came from 4 up front just beating the crap out of our front.

They did on first down but after that they didnt have too because it was 2nd and a mile. But to say they didnt blitz much on first down would be incorrect.

blitzed on 1st down, while Chud kept calling deep passes (with Smitty jogging a few yards down field and then standing in place), leaving Legedu to take on the entire secondary...

Cam couldn't scramble because Byron Bell gave every Titans defensive player an invitation and directions to Cam in the backfield.

Titans ran a lot of nickel packages (not the 3-4 that's been mentioned here) They blitzed the nickel several times since our gameplan only called for our #2 WR and bad-day-to-have-a-bad-day TE to get the ball.

All in all, the Muppets could have played D and won.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
