Thatā€™s perfect. I agree. Itā€™s fine to let them knowā€¦..and Iā€™m sure they do by now.
Everyone can do their thing, but I donā€™t agree with the, ā€œIā€™m doneā€ crowd.
Iā€™m hoping for the bestā€¦just not expecting it with Levis.

I canā€™t speak for everybody, and I only really became a titans fan when I moved there like 5 years ago. But for me, I canā€™t follow another team with poor management. We saw it with the Vols from the mid 2000ā€™s until 2021. Weā€™re seeing it with the titans now. I stuck with the Vols through some dark days, but just canā€™t do it with another team. Poor management leads to poor choices, underperforming, and heartbreak.

I just donā€™t understand what theyā€™re thinking. They still have Henry and Tannehill, so the playoff window is still open. Draft o line, defense, and WR. Go for championships. Instead itā€™s like they went into rebuild mode. But they didnā€™t even trade up for a franchise QB, they got an immature kid who throws tons of picks and underperforms. Also heā€™s disliked by anyone who likes the Vols. Then they got a RB with no acl when tons of good ones were still available. No WR? No defense? I mean they really threw this whole draft in the garbage. If they would have used the Levis pick on a Wr then used the next on defense, they would have given themselves a good chance to win this year, then maybe go for a QB they liked next year

i dont have an issue with that double steal. the miss st pitcher is having control issues and i think they were trying to catch him sleeping or catch him too deep in his head.

it didnt work that time, but if it did it would have been sweet.

Not sure if Maui hesitated there or not.. just was not even a close plus and the catcher has to reach across his body then throw to 3rd.

But since you follow baseball... why have we backslid so much this season? I know we lost a lot but I also know we have a ton of talent.

Just hard to bring in an entire line up and not miss a beat. IMO, last years team really over achieved (similar to football this year) and so I donā€™t think this team is doing poorly at all.

Plus we played 3 series in a row against top 5 teams.. to be over .500 in SEC after today is big

Apparently Vrabel sat Will down with cutups of his worst INTs to see if Will knew what he did wrong and his answers made Vrabel a fan. That's the explanation out now which is just beyond sad because that mean Vrabel saw 3 Ints to our secondary and zero TDs and was ok with it.

The last thing for the baseball Vols to figure out is how to win on the road. Everything else is coming together nicely. Baseball's a different deal, need to be patient as all the new talent on the field gains experience. Burns moving to closer is also huge. Sewell is coming on strong again.

They have locked in on their line-up and have a bunch of guys playing limited roles who will be studs next year and beyond. IMO the best story right now is Christian Scott. Elite on D with an absolute gun in RF that nobody will challenge. Now he is hitting well.

The whole line up is learning to hit where it is pitched, to go the other way and not try to pull everything.

Ok. If thatā€™s true I canā€™t argue with Vrabel. Heā€™s a good coach. And Iā€™ll admit my extreme dislike for Leviā€™s is playing into this. But I donā€™t understand taking a QB at all this year unless itā€™s like round 5. They are paying one tons of money and have tons of holes on the team. Would rather them build the team and play someone like Dobbs if Tannehill got hurt. Then trade up and get a better QB next year. Hell Dobbs almost beat the Jags without any real offensive weapons.

That's copium. Titans will be better the moment they get a real QB. Not a guy from central casting.

I think the new lady that owns the Titans wants to move the franchise, so she is purposefully tanking this draft. That is the only reasonable explanation for drafting Levi's and a RB with no knees.

This is everything. 1-10 on the road is scary. But they've faced some top notch road games too.

Get that right and we're right back.

But I'd still say finishing in the top 16 is going to be critical. Would rather not risk it at another team's place post-season.

100% agree. Looking forward to seeing how they finish the schedule.

Yep that makes the most sense

You'd think they'd do what makes sense right?

Nope. They don't believe in quarterbacks that can read a defense and they don't believe in wide receivers.
