titans0021 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I’m genuinely concerned about Vrabel. Defensive HC carried by the offense who won’t admit his mistakes or learn lessons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTitan Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 The only way I was willing to accept no outside DC hire was if they made Bowen the DC solely and removed him from OLB duties. But I don't know how you can think fielding the worst defense in the league equals no changes to the defensive staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensive HC carried by the offense who won’t admit his mistakes or learn lessons. as far as i'm concerned, he's on the hot seat. he's not going to sniff a super bowl with this attitude, so why waste our time with him?

TitanLegend Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Does promoting Bowen to the role imply Vrabel was the one running it/callling plays last year and now it'll be Bowen? Or is it going to be the same thing just different titles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTitan Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Yeah. We had a lot defensive injuries. Yeah. We didn't have an off-season. Yeah. We didn't have a pass rush. But- Guys were completely lost on defense at times. Byard completely forgot how to play football. Evans was a mess. I can see how Vrabel thinks the system was ok, when you call a double team and both players get beat on the double team. lol You call a blitz and none of them beats their man. Players were a problem last year. But so was coaching. I guess Robinson is gonna sell out and try to fix the defense and we can all look back at this thread in December and say "we were right." lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hope- Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 another great thing about this is that it signals that teryl austin (and likely pep too) was definitely just a rooney rule interview. shameful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titans0021 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Butler was the only player to play above his career average on the entire defense. Byard, Vaccaro, Jayon, Landry, Clowney and Evans all have far and away the worst years of their careers. Clearly the personnel is the entire problem.

-Hope- Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 defense will probably improve a little bit due to sheer regression to the mean, but i have no reason to believe it won't still be a bottom 10 unit. offense will likely regress just because derrick won't rush for 2000 and we don't know how downing will do. that sounds like 8 wins to me.

Why have Terrell Austin when you can have the 30th best DC from 2016 and the 32nd best DC from 2020? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
