@TicTacTitans@MTJ_TITANS4EVER When I feel like being cheap, nothing better than using the app for the $1 large fry deal. Double cheeseburger and a large fry, I can eat for under $4. Can’t beat it.
@eastonfreeze My defense I tell everyone when their team pays somebody top money.. your window to win has become very small to win it all. I can’t think of a player who is top 5 salary cap, win it all in that period.
Look I can't disagree with @AlbertBreer's main points here. Everything written in this piece about Amy Adams Strunk is absolutely valid. However, what I will say is, they have (supposedly) taken the steps to correct this with the new braintrust of Brinker and Borgonzi.
I know many of you dislike Brinker. I'm still withholding judgment there. He may prove to be the next head to roll. If so, then I'm totally wrong and you can disregard all of this.
But what I will say is, even keeping Callahan for these first six games was an indicator to me that they are looking to stabilize. They could've made him a one-and-done hire in January, but they took the patient approach. Obviously, the patience ran out, and justifiably so. The team was terrible and rather than improving, they were regressing. So of course Callahan had to go.
But IMO firing Callahan is not indicative of larger systemic problems, at least not anymore. I think it was one of the final steps towards actually stabilizing things (and the last step will hopefully be hiring a high-floor coach for 2026 and beyond. Obviously it is important to get that hire right or else the stability will not arrive).
Brinker and Borgonzi have at least acknowledged the instability and how debilitating that can be for a franchise to find success. They have preached patience because they know that patience is required for stability. If they're preaching that in press conferences to the media, I imagine they're preaching it behind the scenes to AAS, as well.
So while I agree with Albert that the Titans have been dysfunctional, unstable and chaotic dating back to Jon Robinson's firing, the larger issue has been hiring the wrong people (Ran Carthon, Brian Callahan) as opposed to having a quick-trigger on firings (Vrabel got six full seasons, peaked from 2019-21, and finished his tenure with a 6-18 record over his last 24 games. That, to me, is not a quick trigger, regardless if you feel that firing him was a mistake or not. Jon Robinson also had 6 years, and his last 3 drafts were some of the worst of the century. Did he really deserve more time to right the ship? Up for debate, I suppose).
If this article was written after Carthon's firing a year ago, I wouldn't take issue with it. But I think part of the point of Brinker & Borgonzi's roles is to bring that stability that has been lacking for so long.
Again, I could be proven incorrect in a hurry if Brinker gets the axe next. But I really don't expect that to happen. I think the organization knows how important it is to find some stability and I think that's what they're striving for now.
Here's the article if you want to read it for yourself: https://t.co/BJWFIbEPfA
@eastonfreeze People see big number and get mad. That 1.2B is paid for over the next 30 years with surplus going back to the city through tourism tax hikes. Mark Davis only paid for more of the stadium through private equity funding (yuck)
@eastonfreeze Wow ticket prices have plummeted. I remember buying nosebleed tickets before the 2023 season at the 50 yard line and they were $225 a pop. Now they’re under $100. Times have changed.
@TicTacTitans Studies prove that cohesion makes for a stronger and more effective unit. Cohesion is built through emotion and task orientation. Doing these types of things help integrate rookies with vets. Running 7/11’s are for after cohesion is built.
@jagibbs_23@FantasyPtsData I know he’s benched and won’t be a starter anymore.. but why didn’t we get a Will Levis 20+ air yards cut up? Love all of these videos.
