QB draw bro. Works with Mariota in Madden every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 13 minutes ago, RuskieTitan said: Yup. Pretty close to throwing in the towel on Mariota at this point, he's had a new OC almost every single year. Alex Smith had like 7 in 7, I believe. He was salvaged. Don't lose hope!

Heinz D. Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 As a Bears fan, glad it wasn't Gase. But...still should be a solid hire. I was praying for McDaniels, but, oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans fans will rest easy knowing that some day, Mariota will go elsewhere and look pretty good for a couple seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess I could see it - if it was based on performance and tape, it's not really close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and Monken has prior HC experience. I guess the Pack preferred West Coast over Air Coryell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's strange... why would Monken or any other coach not be okay with a DC like Pettine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
game3525 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 1 minute ago, TheKillerNacho said: I honestly don't see the hype. What did the Titans do so great offensively this year to warrant LaFleur being a top candidate? Sure, the Rams offense last year was great but that's probably mostly McVay. Do people view him as being a top candidate thinking he will be able to bring over McVay's success or is there other reasons of merit I'm not seeing? To be fair, McCarthy didn't have much success as an OC with Niners in 2005 and he had a pretty good run with the Packers. Also, we don't know what attributes he showed behind the scene.

Yeah, scheme fit might have been the same reason why Monken was passed over. It's just kinda curious that he was a strong candidate though if the scheme fit was bad.

Spartacus Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I'm still of the firm opinion that talent wins out 9/10. You can only polish a turd so much. Maybe the packers thought he overachieved on the titans? Do they have much talent on O? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Walker for the year week 1, Jack Conklin was bothered by injuries all year, Mariota didn't have feeling in his throwing hand for half the season, and it took Eddie George knocking some sense in to Derrick Henry for him to play like he should. So yeah, I'd say there's arguments he overachieved at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I wonder about Monken is he doesn t have a problem calling out players. Can that ruffle some feathers, even when justified? Sure can. I think it helps LaFleur that he is viewed as more vanilla personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
