I�m sure everyone knows the Titans

lost their third straight game earlier this morning Authentic Will Compton Jersey , so let�s just get to our thoughts on this 3-4 team as they mercifully head into the bye.Marcus Mariota has had his share of criticism, but I don�t think he�s played as bad as everyone seems to think. The Titans� offensive line, primarily the guard play, has not been sharp as of late, and the receivers haven�t been close to consistent in either separation or catching the ball. To me, Mariota�s accuracy has been fine. I�ve been vocal about my criticism of Derrick Henry, and he hasn�t looked right this season. Still, it�s odd how he wasn�t involved on the two-point conversion attempt today. Dion Lewis needs to continue being involved in the passing game as well. Matt LaFleur has been bad the last few weeks, but we have to wonder if the absence of Delanie Walker and a hole at receiver have affected the quality of the play calling.On defense, guys like Jurrell Casey and Harold Landry stand out, but the secondary has been a disappointment. Adoree Jackson has been the best defensive back, but Kevin Byard has taken a step back while Malcolm Butler has been a disappointment. I think Mike Vrabel needs more time to build the defense he wants, and as a head coach I think he has the right idea about being aggressive, but this defense is not ready to be above average.I would definitely trade for a wide receiver. Perhaps Amari Cooper would help Youth Dion Lewis Jersey , though he�s had drop problems throughout his career. If this team expects to compete for the AFC South title this year though, you could do worse. But this team is in free fall mode, and fortunately they have the bye to figure out what the hell they need to do to save their season.Coaching Snapshot: Offensive Line Coach Keith Carter A look into OC Matt LaFleur�s offensive staffName: Keith CarterRole: Offensive Line CoachNFL Coaching Experience: Five seasonsPositions Coached: Offensive Quality Control (Seattle, 2012-2013), Assistant Offensive Line Coach (Atlanta, 2015-2016) and Running Backs (Atlanta, 2017)Collegiate Coaching Experience: Undergraduate Assistant (UCLA, 2005), Tight Ends Coach (Wagner College, 2006), Offensive Line Coach (University of the Redlands, 2007-2008), Tight Ends Coach (University of San Diego, 2009) http://www.titansauthorizedshops.com/authentic-malcolm-butler-jersey , Offensive Line Coach (University of San Diego 2010-2011) and Offensive Line/Run Game (San Jose State University, 2014).Coaching Track RecordSeattle SeahawksTitans new Offensive Line coach Keith Carter�s coaching career at the NFL level began in Seattle. After spending nearly a decade in the college ranks, Carter was brought on to Pete Carroll�s coaching staff to help out on the offensive side of the ball.Carter worked under Carroll, Assistant HC and OL Coach Tom Cable and OC Darrell Bevell in the role of the team�s Quality Control Coordinator. The 2012 Seahawks finished in 2nd place of the NFC West, posting an 11-5 record and earned a playoff road win after being winless on the road in the postseason for years. Seattle yielded six Pro Bowlers - four of which were offensive players, including QB Russell Wilson, C Max Unger, OT Russell Okung and RB Marshawn Lynch. Both Lynch and Unger also received All Pro status, completing the quartet with defensive teammates FS Earl Thomas and CB Richard Sherman.Carter�s second season on the Seahawks coaching staff ended with the team hoisting the Lombardi trophy after a 43-8 shellacking of the Peyton Manning-led Denver Broncos.Although Seattle�s reputation centered around the Legion of Boom, the offense was a well oiled machine that took advantage of opportunities the defense provided. Of the five touchdowns scored in that Super Bowl, three were produced by Russell Wilson and the Seahawks offense. In his second season on an NFL coaching staff, Carter understood the hard work it took to build a championship team and had the jewelry to prove it.Atlanta FalconsAfter the Super Bowl season, Carter spent a year as the offensive line coach for San Jose State. He returned to the NFL sidelines to coach under Atlanta Falcons HC Dan Quinn - a man he coached beside during his time in Seattle.Carter assisted with the offensive line, working closely with OL Coach Chris Morgan Rashaan Evans Jersey , beside QB Coach Matt LaFleur and directly under OC Kyle Shanahan. Despite starting off hot, the Falcons finished 8-8 and didn�t make the postseason. Atlanta did manage to knock off the undefeated Carolina Panthers in week 16, but had to watch their division rivals play for a Super Bowl that season.Carter - in almost identical fashion to how his second season played out in Seattle - helped the Falcons reach a Super Bowl while assisting Shanahan, LaFleur and Morgan while putting together an offense that was explosive - averaging 33.7 PPG. The Falcons scored 35 points or more in eight of 16 regular season games.The Falcons continued the scorching pace, scoring over 35 in both the divisional and conference rounds of the NFC playoffs. Atlanta was a quarter and a half away from ousting the New England Patriots, but instead found themselves on the wrong end of one of the most improbable comebacks in Super Bowl history.Carter stayed on the Falcons coaching staff following the 2016 season, but was tasked with mentoring the running backs. With Shanahan now the main guy in San Francisco, Carter spent the season coaching under OC Steve Sarkisian. Atlanta would reach the postseason, but were unable to make a return appearance and were sent home in the divisional round by the eventual Super Bowl Champion Eagles, who would do the the Patriots what the Falcons couldn�t.The tandem of Devontae Freeman and Tevin Coleman would combine for 12 rushing touchdowns, 1493 rushing yards, four receiving scores and 616 receiving yards. Carter worked with a talented offensive line and offensive weaponry during his time in Atlanta. He added to his experience of coaching a championship team, but didn�t have another piece of jewelry to add to pair with his hardware acquired in Seattle.Titans OC LaFleur knows Carter is knowledgeable and familiar with some of the terminology he will implement in his new offense. He is comfortable with Carter, which will make it easier for coaches to communicate areas in the offense that need to be fine-tuned - beginning in the trenches.Tennessee TitansCarter has big shoes to fill in replacing the legendary HOF OL Coach Authentic Marcus Mariota Jersey , Russ Grimm. He also has a tough assignment ahead of him. His best offensive lineman, LT Taylor Lewan, is currently holding out for a new deal. The opposite bookend tackle, RT Jack Conklin, is recovering from the torn acl suffered in the divisional round the playoffs. His timetable for return is uncertain.C Ben Jones will aim to bounce back from a down season. �Huggy Bear� Quinton Spain signed his tendered contract and Josh Kline inked a four-year deal that would seem to suggest his starting spot is secure. Fresh faces Xavier Su�a Filo, Kevin Pamphile and Corey Levin will battle for consideration as alternative options on the interior. Dennis Kelly, Tyler Marz and John Theus will compete for a shot to be the band aid at tackle while Conklin continues to recover and rehabilitate. Pamphile could also compete on the outside.Having worked side by side with LaFleur under the same Shanahan-system, Carter has a firm understanding of what the blocking scheme will look like, but still doesn�t have a clear picture of what his personnel group will be come week one. The picture will be less foggy by the preseason - or at least we hope it is.
