New podcast: @bepryor.bsky.social returns to break down the Brian Callahan firing in Tennessee and last night's MNF doubleheader, including how the Falcons and Bears pulled their upset wins!
Right. But now you're taking one of the easiest answers for your QB off the table. Your tackles stink in dropback pass pro on third-and-long, so you want to avoid that. And your QB is a disaster when he holds the ball, so you want to get the ball out quickly. Which leads you to ... screens.
Titans dysfunction example. They ran five screens for eight yards against the Raiders. Here's three. In each case, the Titans have a numbers advantage when Ward decides to throw. These should be easy yards. They all get blown up. Is that subpar play or bad coaching? The right answer's probably yes.
Titans fired Mike Vrabel because he wasn't a great fit with Ran Carthon. Then they fired Carthon. Now they've fired the guy who replaced Vrabel. At some point, it's the hirer and not the hires.

Packers offense played with their food for three quarters against the Browns and lost earlier this season. Suddenly only up by three points against the Bengals, who had 65 net yards in the first half.
Brutal end to the drive for the Rams. Matthew Stafford misses Davante Adams in the end zone for touchdowns on back-to-back plays, and then Joshua Karty pushes a 26(!)-yarder off the uprights.
"Gotta play the field position game!" and then the Broncos immediately march downfield to get back where the Jets punted. When your defense has been terrible all season, counting on it to keep playing well because they have so far is really short-sighted.
