I assumed this original post is aiming at the offense only... because we certainly are nowhere near where Titans are on coaching, defense and special teams.
First off, no way in any hell we could have ever shut Lamar Jackson and Ravens offense down like Vrabel's defense did.
Much as been talked about Ravens and Pats defense, but Vrabel's Titans defense has proven a helluva lot
And it's fabout coaching and scheme.
*Game management, decisions, preparation, making in game and halftime adjustments, the HC making both asst. coaches and players accountable.
* there's no me before we, ...there's no players defying and going against the coaches play calls, plans and wishes, players tapping out for breathers in critical red zone.
* there's no confusion in all phases and areas of the team (HC, defense, offense, and yucky pecial teams)
* no rifts between coaches and eventually players giving up on the coaches, ..
* there's no key critical players mysteriously sitting it out on the sideline 4th and 8yds in red zone with the NFC East title and playoff hopes on the line,
- As far as "built like Titans' , that goes in according to coaching and scheme. - you don't see Derrick Henry lined up in RPO shotgun formations
and taking RPO draw-play handoffs as the means to fuel the run game .. you see him lined up deep in one back formation and getting hand offs from under center.
They want him seeing-sensing the developing holes early before he gets to the line, and they want him to have a chance to build head of steam momentum.
they don't resort to anything else that is not his strength. They stay with what he does, ..until you can prove capable of stopping him.
Coaches play to their best players strength. they don't cur away from that for the sake of creation somewhere else.
and the Titans don't abandon the run either. You don't see 12 carries in the first half ..and 3 carries in the 2nd half.
