Go look at the superbowl last year and see what having a bad punter can do to a great team
The guy was coming off a bad playoff game where the titans had the no.1 seed and essentially lost a prime opportunity at a super bowl due to his mistakes. He was the starting QB at a press conference where he was trying to show he was focusing on the new season and moving on from that loss and someone asked him if he was going to be mentoring his potential replacement. In that moment he said it was not his job to mentor Willis, it was to win football games.
This year he has been demoted to back up QB. Of course his mentality will have changed. If Willis was able to take advantage of any of the opportunities given to him we would be having this same conversation with him as the starter. Levis came in and took the job, Willis came in and fumbled it.
I assume my question has been part of the reasoning behind this post. I literally said he is one of the best coaches in the league, but was curious to see if anyone else thought his attitude would survive a rebuild. He is a “no nonsense, no fun, winning is the most important factor and i dont care how you feel about it” kind of coach. Players, fans, and the media put up with that for a winning coach, but it feels like it will get old for a losing team. Big Jeff is already on the record talking about needing to find the guys that want to play. Vrabel has a habit of blaming guys for injuries saying they need to prepare better, even though he has not changed his strength and conditioning guys when we have had the worst injury record over the last few years. And there have been a few ex players come out and say they didn’t enjoy playing under him. He is old school. And it is the reason why we have been so good the last few years. I was just wondering if people thought that attitude would cause problems in a losing team. I personally think it will be an issue.
How are you guys mad? That was fun! We are a bad team, but we did not fold up and quit when it looked like we were going to get ran over in the third quarter. I will take todays game over the average play they showed last week limping over the line against the worst team in the league
