Dude got stiff-armed twice on the same run and was like “nope, I’m out.”

Punks. So glad we got payback, even though I love watching Lamar Jackson play.



Suck it, Baltimore.

LOL - He could help Rb core if the coaches move him back and correct his fumbling issues. He might be our best Rb talent.

IMO Jeremy Banks could be a monster with the O Line we will have next year......he is highly motivated and I think he could be the muscle while gray is the finesse in our backfield...may e be a travis henry and travis Stephens kinda duo......

Joe Osovet on the Jump From a Brooklyn Juco to Tennessee's Coaching Staff | Sports Illustrated
In 2001, we started to do it. We didn’t call it an RPO. We called it a Secondary Manipulation. The basic concept and how we stumbled upon it was we wanted to be in 10 personnel [one running back, four wide receivers]. We always had undersized slot receivers, and there was a physical mismatch between our slots who were like 5'8" or 5'9" and the overhang linebackers who were like 6'1" or 6'2". Our slots were dynamic with the ball in their hands, but if we ran the football they’d have to block these linebackers. We were at a physical disadvantage. So we thought, if they fall into the box [to defend the run], why not throw the stick [over the middle to an inside receiver]?”

Article on Osovet from around when he was hired. Attached quote makes me wonder if this is the type of offense Pruitt wants to work towards. We are recruiting some serious mismatches in the slots in guys like Hyatt, Holiday and Calloway. I think Osovet gets an on the field position this year. Sounds like a guy Pruitt really respects. Wouldn’t be surprised if Pruitt already has ideas of Osovet replacing Chaney down the road as long as he continues to prove himself and climb the ladder. They are both all about explosive plays on offense.

Haha. I was all in when they got here, I mean 110. When the old man died and the rest of the organization just seemed to not give 1 single damn, I couldn't handle it.

If they were really trying, I'd been right there. But with the UT AD already doing the same, just more than I could take. Didn't switch teams, I just turned the whole league off.

(Except for occasionally, accidentally, peeking at the score in the 4th🤫)

I was about the same. I still cared, but not willing to make the same emotional investment that I used too. I can only have one abusive sports team relationship in my life and that belongs to UT.

After turning off the NFL for a time until the SJW stuff dissipated, I have jumped back in with both feet when Tannehill started his first game. FWIW any kind racism and corruption is just so ridiculous and unnecessary. It is also time to put aside all rancor about Ryan's time with the fins. That org has been bad for awhile now. His performance as a Titan has proved he deserves to start with a playoff caliber org. Some on here didn't want them to draft Henry either. We see how that worked out when they finally got a real GM, HC and OC that knew how to deliver a blocking scheme and plays that took advantage of their O-line skillset. Henry is one cut and go who simply punishes tacklers. You can see the D players wilt as the game goes on. That is made to order for O-line maulers using a zone blocking scheme. But it still requires a QB that makes quick decisions, is smart with the football, and drops dimes on receivers when the opponents crowd the box. Enter Tannehill and solid play action passing. It all changed because that is what he has done - deliver. He has made some incredible throws this season and the receivers have given their best efforts to get open and catch them. The whole team believes now.

Regardless of the final outcome of the season it is clear they need to sign Tannehill and Henry. Period.
