I wasn’t sure about posting this because I didn’t want to kill the vibes, but I think it needs to be discussed. If Levis didn’t ball out, I think Vrabel would have continued switching between him and Malik and today we’d be talking about how absolutely stupid that was. When he said he was going to do it, I think most of us thought he was trolling because of how obviously wrong it is. He shouldn’t get let off the hook for this. I love Vrabel, but that was an absolutely terrible decision and he is lucky Levis pretty much made himself un-benchable or I think we’d be having a very different conversation today. Just had to get this off my chest because as happy as I am that Levis did well, Vrabel was ready to hamper him by killing his momentum and putting in Malik for some unknown reason and I’m still pissed about it.
What most people do not understand is Malik playing was not Vrabel trying to play 2 QBs. It is clearly a “wildcat” package to use a few times a game, which I am all for. Putting Henry, Spears, Malik, & Chig all in the backfield is a scary sight. That package can and IMO will be very effective for the Titans this year.
