Ya have to understand. Its not Julio Jones we gonna miss so much. Its the fact Raven artful dodger qb really needed J Jones. The man was a tight end at wide receiver and what scatterarm jackson need. Scatterarm can throw but most only to tight ends. He need to see the catcher one on one and open. Scatterarm don't read no defenses. He Hate That. He Hate that most. Julio was about Scatterarm. Julio was the tonic. Julio was the good medicine to get Scatterarm to focus. I miss julio jones already.

Draftin catchers from Minnesota nevah gonna compare to a catcher done good in the NFL. Everyone know, the Ravens dont draft catchers or qbs that well. Julio was gonna be Raven Brass chance to do right by Anquan Bolden. It was a second chance to give a qb security and keep that security there. Take away ya Bolden Jones and you got qbs in a spiral down da toilet bowel.

That was Bill Belichicks defense. The seeing ghosts line was really blown out of proportion, all it meant was the patriots front was throwing all kinds of exotic looks and he couldn’t identify the pressure.

that said, I was never high on darnold to begin with, not at any point.

While this is true, he also struggles when teams get any pressure on him whatsoever. I understand the vast majority of QBs do worse with pressure than without, but players like Darnold massively suffer from it

Lol I never know when to take you seriously or not… or at what percentage I should be taking you seriously…

The Titans getting Julio is gonna make it even funnier when they inevitably lose in the playoffs.

"Bills, Browns, Ravens: Or name your preferred AFC team hoping to take down the Chiefs, who have represented the conference in the past two Super Bowls. Buffalo, Cleveland and Baltimore were the AFC's other playoff semifinalists in the 2020 season but, all things being equal, there's a good chance at least one of them won't return to that level in 2021 if the Titans live up to their heightened expectations."

Many think Julio is gonna transform the Titans. Hope the Ravens meet them in the playoffs, cuz people gonna be there. Hope ravens come out of an ever increasin tough division to make playoffs without Julio.

I miss Julio already

I don’t know if “seeing ghosts”, as Darnold said before, is exactly fixable though.

Case #1... David Carr

Exactly. Of course with Carr, and this is an honest question, did he ever have much help at the skill positions either?

idk not to me - tannehill's been extremely efficient since becoming a titan and they run a pretty vertically based passing offence

I think the question is... will they continue to do so, now that Smith is no longer there?
I never thought Tannehill was a bad QB, but I think he's greatly helped by a coach that I think is on the McVay level of getting the maximum out of QBs. And I want to see what that looks like in 2021 and going forward.

And I agree with others... very play action-favorable offense. And that'll still work quite a bit because they have the run game to back it up.

We will see. There’s a new OC in town. Vrabel is no Andy Reid with offense, to the point of him being the own shot caller on offense at an elite level. The QB coach is the same though

Serious question: At what point does Derrick Henry start to lose steam and break down? He's carried the load so many times for 'Bama and the Titans that you have to wonder how long he can keep it going for. He hasn't shown any signs of slowing down yet, but RBs tend to have shorter careers nowadays. If the Titans lose Henry for any significant amount of time then they'll be in trouble (even with the addition of Julio).

Hard to tell. Some of your more "bruiser" backs can tend to be mildly effective for longer periods of time (see Frank Gore) because they're less hampered with speed, which declines rapidly.

That being said... keep in mind that Henry's workload for the first call it 2-3 years in the league was actually kind of mild (or at least, not in the "workhorse" realm). He had 215 carries in 2018, which is a good amount, but it's really only been the last two years where he's been just a bellcow. I think you could probably see maybe 2 more years of 300+ carries, and then they'll need to start thinking about more timeshare and complementary work, mostly. With his size and strength he'll probably be able to play 10 years in the league, though.

I think the Titans probably realize that 378 carries in a season is too much. In a 17 game season, you're talking close to 400 carries. You do that, and regardless of how big he is, he'll eventually get hurt and breakdown.

arthur smith's loss cannot be understated for sure

gus bus staying in town for 3 more years

this means both gus and JK are contracted until the end of JK's rookie deal - that's gonna be one hell of a 1-2 punch

Agreed. Even after adding Julio I think the Titans are due for a regression. Their defense does not look very good to me, I don’t buy bud Dupree as a guy who’s gonna save any teams pass rush on his own and Harold Landry has been flaming out and not looking like a first round worthy player, they do have Simmons, evans, and byard though, but I just don’t see how they improve from their pretty shitty defensive performance last year, and then with a QB like tannehill you really can’t discount Arthur smiths importance. Tannehill is certainly much better than he looked in Miami, and even when he was in Miami I thought the team was ruining him and not the other way around, but Arthur smiths offense really made his job as easy as any qb I’ve seen. Also jonnu smith is a very underrated loss for them, they’re gonna feel that one.

Agree. They'll compete with many teams on offense, but they will live or die based on how good their defense is.
