Saddened to hear the news about @mrbelding yesterday. I met him a few times as a UTC student and he was awesome.
Here’s an article when he was gracious enough to be a guest picker for a football game when I was sports editor at the @UTC_Echo in 2014.
FYI the Mocs did win! RIP
Cam Ward had Elic Ayomanor open on the deep cross. I'm not sure where Ayomanor's route was in the progression, but this is an opportunity for an explosive. This was the first play of the second drive. One of five consecutive 3 & outs to start the game.
@MFreakinDavis@_dosjay I personally wanted to trade the No 1 pick due to the fact we all knew that coaching staff would be gone in 6-8 games and hurt any QB or Ward’s development….but if we drafted Cam literally so many vet backups were out there that could have started.
@_dosjay@MFreakinDavis We literally could have done that last year but no…Borgonzi had to sign Brandon Allen and force Cam to start.
Raiders are 3-0 doing exactly that.
Cam Ward was adamant on Sunday that he saw Holland and just needed to make a better throw.
This morning, Robert Saleh says he doesn’t think Cam ever saw Holland… 🤦♂️😬
Concerning injury update for the Titans OL:
Starting RG Fernando Carmona still getting evaluated for an ankle.
Backup Jackson Slater has a “pretty significant” foot injury despite finishing the game.
It’s becoming hard to remain a Cam Ward believer, and not just because of yesterday’s interception. The OL is markedly better, the receivers are better, and his numbers are worse. And over the full 20 games he ranks last among all qualified QBs in multiple stats.
The Raiders flipping from 3-14 to 3-0 in one offseason while the Titans are currently on year 5+ of the rebuild and staring down the barrel of another <3 win season. Bleak
@eastonfreeze He didn’t have the TD but he had over 20 seconds, three more downs and two timeouts to work with and avoid doing that reckless throw. Complete situational unawareness.
Just a little accountability would go a long way, but Cam is allergic to it.
We all know that ball had no business being thrown on 1st down and two timeouts left.
Cam Ward said he didn't feel the final throw was reckless. He saw Jevon Holland flash in front of Elic Ayomanor, Ward insisted he just needed to throw the ball a little higher.
I don't think I've ever been more deflated after a single play than that interception from Cam
I really thought he was about to finish the job and lead us to a MONUMENTAL WIN. We really need that man
0-3 and the #Titans are at the Ravens next week 😬
@twotone_podcast Even if he’s tackled short you can go OB or use one of your two timeouts! That’s about 6 seconds off the clock which had over 20 left.
Complete lack of awareness in a clutch situation from the No. 1 overall pick.
Open run lane with two TO’s and over 20 seconds left. Throws a pick instead.
