TitanRedd Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 1 hour ago, TitanLegend said: It's clear that Smith's biggest inspiration came from LaFleur, who is of course a Shanahan disciple and runs mainly their style of offense(their being Mike and Kyle, suppose you can throw Kubiak in to the discussion at this point as long as he's been doing it and the tweaks he's made over the years), which that is their passing offense. There's never going to be drop back and pass without heavy roll outs/play action in this style of offense. Bootlegs and zone run are the Shanahan offense staples, and always will be. That style of offense has been successful since Shanahan and Elway started running it together in the 90s and it's showing no signs of stopping, Mike Shanahan truly doesn't get enough credit for his offensive genius. Kyle gets all kinds of love now, but he's really still just running largely what his dad did(obviously some twists and turns over the years, but the base of the offense is still the same). What you bring up is one "downside" to it. People watch the QB play/passing play in the offense and thing it looks dumbed down or unimpressive, even if it's successful. John Elway had already built a reputation as an elite/HOF QB before pairing with Shanahan, but you look at the QBs who have had success in the offense over the years and they're all guys that despite performing well in the offense, received little to no credit. The Plummers, the Schaubs, the Cousins and now the Garoppolos of the world When you compare actual success running the offense vs praise received from the outside, it's extremely disproportionate. All the credit goes to the run game/RBs in these systems, even though it's been shown you can literally plug and play any RB in the Shanahan offense. The exciting thing for us is pure talent wise, Tannehill is probably the best QB to run this offense since Elway. Your only two other arguments being RG3 and Cutler, and obviously those experiments ended for different reasons prematurely. Tannehill has the arm talent to put the ball pretty much anywhere on the field, and isn't just mobile in the pocket, he can actually run, which is something only really RG3 has ever offered a Shanahan offense, and we saw what his one healthy season of play gave to it, before he was ruined by injuries and apparently ego(of course RG3 is a better runner than Tannehill, but you get my point). We'll see if Tannehill's performance matches his talent level in this offense(like it did over the last half of last year) or if he "settles" in to being one of the Schaubs of the QB world. If he continues to match his talent, the Titans being a top 3 scoring offense like they were once he took over is a definite possibility given how this offense works. I agree somewhat to what you said & by somewhat I’m say 80%. The difference in kyles offense vs his Dad is kyles passing concepts come from John Gruden. He did an interview the yr atl went to the Super Bowl & said John gruden was once of his biggest influence far as teaching him the game of football. He stated he knew the run game night & day being around his dad & kubiak but when he got with Gruden is when his understanding of the passing game took off. That’s why you can say the 49ers & the rams offense are more the same & the titans & packers offense are more the same 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was never much of a chance of a deal getting done before they could get him in the building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeluxx3 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 As crazy as it sounds...with all the excitement around AJ Brown from last year, tied with Simmons not playing the entire season, it's almost easy to forget that we have ANOTHER 2nd year player that has All-Pro (and beyond) potential. A defense consisting of: Simmons, Jayon Brown, Evans, Byard, Jackson and Landry as pillars is hotttt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
