quick thoughts on the terrible titans game

Our linebackers are going to get a finesse label. Okereke, did he sit too long? I’ll give him the season at least. Our passrush still lags. So many draft picks spent on dline, will no one emerge?

We have a strangely built team. I feel like we have some good players but not in the most influential positions. Our purported strengths don’t look like strengths to me. We don’t dominate… ever. I’m mean your strength should have some dominant games every so often. Maybe when healthy? We have Taylor but don’t get him enough carries. Hines should have a minimum amounts of touches in space. Pittman is showing up which is promising.

We are digging a deep hole. I hate to say the season may be done by week three, but man we’re in a hole. Hopefully a win against the Phins will restore some faith. We may have a bad year and what sucks is we will probably lose our first round pick anyway.

wentz has been in the league long enough to not see ghosts out there. he should know where to go with the ball quickly. he doesnt

I believe Ballard is still “collecting talent” not building a team. That’s why he’s ok repeatedly going into seasons with obvious holes or just gifting positions to young players. I think in his mind they are still not ready to compete. He’s still looking to the future, not today.
