    The only problem I have with him right now from a coaching standpoint is not running the ball near enough.

    Week 1: Ran the ball 32 times at 4.6 yards per carry with 37:44 time of possession.
    Week 2: Ran the ball 11 times at 6.6 yards per carry with 18:49 time of possession.
    Week 3: Ran the ball 22 times at 4.5 yards per carry with 31:16 time of possession.
    Week 4: Ran the ball 11 times at 4.1 yards per carry with 17:39 time of possession.

    It would be one thing if we had a good passing attack but for a team with one of the worst passing attacks in the league to not run the ball week after week is mindblowing ESPECIALLY when we are putting up 4.95 yards per carry on the season!

    Its killing us on two fronts. Its putting alot more pressure on Locker/CBJ/receivers to produce which to this point they haven't and as a result our already BAD defense is having to stay on the field for 30-40 minutes a game. You aren't going to beat anyone having that kind of defense on the field for that length of time.

    There is absolutely no excuse for us to not be running the ball more going forward.

    All this talk about running the ball and that's exactly what most one here were ticked at Fisher and Munch for. Give Whiz some time. Maybe this season ends up as a wash. Most coaches don't have a 10-6 record their first season with a team when they change the offensive and deffensive schemes entirely.

    Ya you're right we're crazy, lets throw the ball more!!! Lets throw it 50 times a game with a guy that struggles to have a 50% completion percentage. Let's let the defense stay on the field for 45 minutes that will work out swell!

    There is a big difference between Fisher/Munch running CJ up the middle 30 times a game and Greene and Sankey averaging almost 5 yards per carry.

    Wow....it is settled LOL. No Titan coach in the future should ever purchase a house.

    What are we...the Browns? Do we want to start axing coaches after one season now? How about midseason? Or preseason?

    Is Whisenhunt the problem? If you want us to maintain the status quo so that our players feel more comfortable with our system (that has been so stellar for the past several seasons) and want to second guess all personnel decisions from the informed location of your computer screen, then I guess he is the problem.

    Leon did do well last year but awful this year so far..

    Our defense doesn't look like it's starting to gel at all. The Bengals game I somewhat understand because they are an elite team(in my eyes), but the colts definitely are not.... there is no way the god damn colts should be putting up 40+ on us. they are supposed to be a division rival and we haven't beaten them since they Sucked For Luck in '11, and even then we only managed to beat them once!! I hate that the colts dominate us every game, I hate them more than any other NFL team by far. If we can't win any other games this season I pray to god we at least get some payback on the colts....

    I don't know that the Browns are considered an "easy game" considering how well they have been playing. Their defense is finally starting to click and Hoyer isn't aMaZiNg but he also hasn't thrown any INTs yet either. And his pass completion was on point that last game vs Baltimore. Also let's not forget that even when the Jags are at their worst we lose to them at least once every season.

    And finally... Jake better rebound and show us what we saw early last season if he wants the fanbase back on his side. Otherwise I think CBJ will start after the bye week(if we don't have at least 3-4 wins), and then once we are eliminated from playoff contention I hope Whiz would be wise enough to start Mett to see where we stand at QB for the next season. I'd really rather NOT spend a 1st round pick on a QB next season unless it's Jameis, even though he's a toolbag he still has some amazing skills. Not sure how well he fits into Whiz's scheme though.

    Agreed...running is our strength right now. Problem is we keep getting blown out right away making us one dimensional. If we can keep the game manageable we can than try and run the rock with our RB by committee group.

    Good coaches don't lose 28-3 leads in the second half. This hire was a big mistake.

    Just hope that Jake Locker can rebound back and be nursed back to health. As really it is about not just coaching but good players.

    Again, it's the coaches and the players. Just one huge pile of crap. The flies are over head buzzing.

    The Colts ARE absolutely an Elite team. Luck is a rising superstar. You can want it to not be so, but that doesnt make it so. The numbers tell a completely different story.

    The Titans have a LOOONG way to go... its starts with a QB and a defense.
