Do The Titans still totally embrace a ball control offensive strategy?

I disagree. I think Fisher realizes the days of winning games 13-10 or having your kicker kick 6 FGs are essentially over. The Titans have invested in better WRs, TEs and RBs with the idea they have to score more points to be competitive. I think it is obvious. They drafted CJ, not exactly like Eddie George on paper coming out. They traded up for Cook. The signed Washington and drafted Britt.

Now this offense won't ever be a pass happy offense with a QB getting 300+ yards every game. But they do realize you can't dink, dunk and pound the ball to beat the better teams. Mainly if you look around the AFC the teams we have to beat are very strong on offense. You might slow Brady, Manning or Shaub down some on Sunday but you normally can't hold those teams to 13 points or less. The offense is and has to be geared to scoring over 21 points.

Also, it isn't easy to simply hand the ball off and sustain long drives. Even if you get a few first down you find yourself punting or trying to kick a long FG. If you can hit a few big plays a game either through the air or with CJ you can keep pace and put yourself in a good place to win the game.

The other issue is what do you do if you have a ball pounding offense and for whatever reason you fall behind by a few TDs. Then what?

 

...which might work fine in regular season but after 17 weeks of it the team doesn't know how to go out and win the game. Waiting for the other team to lose isn't much of a strategy.

If there's one great thing that 12-step programs teach it's how to recognize when your solutions aren't working.

 

My concern is Fisher won't trust his QB to win him games if needed. Heck, I doubt he will let his QB throw a pass in the redzone.
