Rousseau might be the best player on the team so far this year. Josh is easiy the MVP because of the position he plays, but Greg is having a career year. Re-sign this guy. He's a stud rushing from the left side.

Lamar has been the best player so far. Playoffs will probably be a different story but that's not what the MVP is. Long ways to go and Josh is still +650 on Fanduel for anyone interested. That's easily the best value on the board. Edit: CJ Stroud +2000 is a nice flyer too.

Not what I meant and you know that. The coaching advantage is obviously massive but only might be massive enough to make up for the pretty clear and obvious talent advantage we've had over the last couple years and even this season. Should I assume because you replied in this way that you think we haven't had better skill position players last year and this year? I don't think you'd get much support for that outside of this forum.

I don't think one can make that argument in good faith unless we're giving Mahomes some massive coaching advantage (which might be true).

I really dislike these kinds of arguments. They're never made in good faith. Not only is Mahomes the best player in the league, and has been for half a decade, but he's still playing well this year given circumstances. Chiefs lost Brown, Rice, Pacheco, and Kelce has obviously lost a step. They're winning because of defense, and because every week Mahomes manufactures just enough on offense without a lot of help. This doesn't take anything away from Josh who has been the second best player in the league for nearly half a decade and who has also been great this year without much help. Aikman doesn't like Josh because he fundamentally sees the game differently. Pretty much everyone else appreciates Josh's greatness. There is no widespread media narrative with these two that's way off the mark.

Even Hardy looked like he could play in camp. I wouldn't be shocked if he made the roster at some point. Epic draft class in terms of depth.

The contrast is really crazy. We seem to need not only to be punched in the mouth but knocked down a few times before we start fighting. Some of it is obviously play calling. Our initial game plans suck every week, and then we make good adjustments...usually. I also think, at least defensively, we're built to play with a lead. Biggest problem to start games is stopping the run. We've been better in second half of games where we've taken the lead and then pressured opposing QBs.

Still up three scores. Game over.

Great back shoulder throw and an even better catch by Coleman. Edit: or was it

terrible throw, great catch

Can anyone explain why we always look so bad in the first half but then so much better in the second half? Is it entirely coaching? Like, we're terrible anticipators but very good adjustors??

This review is ridiculous

Left side of the line has had a rough day

Man that looked like a TD if Cook bounces outside

Titans kicking game is elite

OMG that looked like it hurt. Bernard out for a game or two after that.

219 to 90 yards gained from scrimmage. Unreal. We're just flat out bad on both sides of the ball right now.

Chunk yardage plays. Nice. I remember when we used to do that.

Announcers are acting like it's going to be a problem if Pollard can't come back. Titans could run on us with guys off the street rn.

We're getting gashed...again. This team isn't going anywhere until that gets fixed.

He was staring down Mack for a quite a bit before throwing that.

D is in tough vs this vaunted Titans offense.

I wonder how many snaps he's going to get on the boundary (i.e. where Keon has been lining up), and also if we start to spread Keon around a little more. I'd imagine that's where this goes eventually even if not as much this game. You don't get Cooper if you don't intend to use him out there.

Keon has a bright future but I do wonder if some around these parts aren’t setting themselves up for disappointment in the short-term. Prevailing sentiment seems to be Keon will continue as the x and Amari will be the z with Hollins going to the bench. I’m not so sure. McD favours veterans. I’d imagine Keon will see his snap count reduced somewhat before he eventually earns them all back (maybe as soon as later this season). He’ll probably continue to start as the x, just with perhaps fewer opportunities in the short-term. That’s my expectation anyways. Edit: I know that’s not really addressing the point of the thread, but I think it’s relevant and something few are discussing.

I'd like to see us with all our pass rushers healthy and playing well late in the season. Our pass rush is underrated imo. The bigger issue is our size and scheme defending bigger teams.
