[Lyons] Clearing the Smoke: 2024 Titans Regime [FREE]
14 comments
I thought this article was a fantastic one, and honestly one that I needed to read. Zach does a really good job of highlighting some of the process and results and frankly gives a little hope into this regime (maybe more confidence in Ran moreso than Callahan, but still gives good insights into what he’s doing well)
Also, very interesting insights into the rumor portion of what shaped the team today. Including Isaiah Wilson being more of Vrabel/Arthur Smith pick
Finally a common sense article! The season lives or dies by Levis, it died. We can move on from him on the cheap and work on getting better players too.
I don’t know why everyone wants to fire the or the coach cause of 1 season and their armchair accusations.
As usual Zach is right. I did get a chuckle out of Mike Herndon posting an article today about how the cutrent regime can’t be trusted to select a new QB. Frequent F Words listeners know that mike is always wrong! 😤
Who?
Honestly any article that starts with “rumors” without sources can pretty much go in the disregard pile.
“This guy that agrees with our takes is right”
How the sub sounds, now.
Next year if we suck you’ll hear it from those of us who are screaming for change, now.
I like his points about the players still fighting hard and believing. Obviously you can go too far in relying on the players assessment and end up with Antonio Pierce as HC but it helps. At the risk of turning this into a Vrabel argument one of my big red flags about him was how many players left the Titans hating him(Robert Woods, Wesley Woodyard, Ty Sambrailo, Fulton, Tart)
Hell, When we traded Hopkins he did a TD celebration honoring the Titans lol. The players had a lot more bad stuff to say about us under the other guy.
Saying that penalties are not a marker on the coaching and pointing to Green Bay and Baltimore as counter examples (“see, these are good coaches with lots of penalties”) is the equivalent of me saying smoking isn’t deadly because my grandfather lived to 90 on a pack a day habit. By that I mean, just because he lived to 90 doesn’t mean smoking isn’t deadly. GB and Baltimore having excellent head coaches doesn’t mean they are blameless for penalties.
Penalties are on the coaches. It’s just that Baltimore and Green Bay’s coaches can offset that liability with excellence elsewhere (something Callahan has not shown to date).
This article headlines with “patience,” just as Ran asks for it. “Trust the process,” blah blah blah.
This organization isn’t entitled to patience, nor should the fans give it.
Ran is clearly not the guy. Fire him and CaLLahan.
Just finished reading it, and man, that was a really, really good article. I’d definitely recommend anyone that has the time to read it.
There were certain parts that really felt like they were directly calling out members of this sub and other twitter writers. The sections about not letting the current regime pick the next QB (Justin Melo/Mike Herndon said this), blaming the head coach for penalties, the current state of special teams, and everything about Levis did a great job at dispelling all of the wild things that have been said about those topics.
One thing that I appreciated was Zach calling out all of the double-standards and conflicting statements that Vrabel truthers (or as he called it, Vrabel-holics) have been saying. Vrabel was a solid coach, but he wasn’t fit for a rebuilding team, and he had really reached a breaking point with the franchise were both sides needed to go their own way. Anyone acting like the team would be that much better had we kept him is lying to themselves.
TL;DR- The article made me feel a lot better about our team’s outlook and future. Is everything going as we would’ve hoped? Nope, but Ran showed enough in his first “real” draft in 2024 to make me feel confident about his ability to rebuild the foundation of our roster. Callahan has a ways to go, but his scheme has improved the offensive statistics from the previous two years and he’s kept the locker room afloat despite all the losing we’ve faced. This whole regime could end up not panning out, but fans need to have more patience because a rebuilding team is gonna need time.
Glad someone posted this. At this point I’m preferring Zach’s opinions over Mikes.
Great article. Really appreciate the objectivity in this one. Also reading this and Brian Callahan’s stick up for the team is getting me excited for the future.
– Agree with the thought he had about the OL. Felt the reason they didn’t address much in the offseason is they put stock into Bill Callahan coaching them up, specifically for guys like NPF and radunz. It was mistake so let’s move on and find guys Bill can coach up.
-Positive light for Levis. He’s not our guy but his career isn’t totally over. Agree the Geno route would be perfect because it seems the guy has the traits but not fundamental pieces of being an actual QB currently. Some team will bring him and let him sit behind someone. He makes a ton of sense with Tampa Bay to sit behind Baker and Liam Cohen (former OC at Kentucky).
-Very interesting about the penalties stat
He’s a fan.
Lol I love the part about Cally being labeled a qb whisperer. I see so many comments that say that. Oh “some qb whisperer he is”. Turns out. The dumbass fans and local media are the ones who labeled him that and then are upset he isn’t one. Great article.
Good article, but holy typo somebody get Zach a proofreader lol
