Football Gameplan's 2012 Wk 4 Texans vs Titans Video Preview

Thanks Em

Some of us were kind of worried because you didn't show up last week.
Nice piece as usual, but come on. Suggesting that CJ1.4, Ringer and co. of the Titans even come close to the Texan's RB is preposterous. Just saying.

Thanks Austrian.. I don't look at stats when breaking down personnel..I look at skill set. And I think "Skills-wise" there's talent in both teams' backfield

Seriously? What the hell man? Are you a professional troll now?

The Texans are 5th in the league in rushing per game as a team with 451 yards, the Titans are 32nd with 117.
The Texans have rushed the ball 117 times this year (1st), the Titans only 45 times (32nd).
The Texans are averaging 3.9 yards per attempt (16th), the Titans are in dead last with 2.6.
The Texans have 5 rushing TDs this year (3rd), the Titans have ZERO (32nd).

You can't get much more disparate than that. Skill or not, their O-line or their runningbacks do not deserve to be considered a wash against the Texans counterparts. Maybe you need to study up on what those advantage checkbox forms are for.
 
did u skip the texans denver game BTW i love your videos

and i agree the titans got a pretty good oline

EM, you're using "skill set" like some folks use "upside" or "potential"; neither means a damn thing unless and until they don't translate into MEASURABLE RESULTS.

Texans have the best backfield since Hershel Walker & Tony Dorsett. How's that?:doot:

Clearrrrrrrrrrrrly I stated numerous times that I don't use stats when looking at personnel..Its more of a skill-set type of thing and showing where the liabilities are. And as a former RB, I know that numbers don't tell the whole story.

Fine, putting aside the dodge of "I don't use stats," CJ has not demonstrated his skill set in the last 19 games (other than I think 1 game last season). Skill set from three seasons ago which hasn't been demonstrated since isn't a current skill set.
 
Why look at stats when you can look at Madden ratings to get an in-depth analysis of player "skill sets?"

Actually it makes sense now, CJ500 is the fastest RB on Madden so that's all that matters. Foster's speed rating on Madden isn't as good therefore CJ>AF in the all important speed skill set.
 
Thank for video as always Em. I thought you had some kind of a health issue last week. Anyway, nice to see you again.

Go Texans!!!
 
After seeig the third video I realize this is nothing more than comedic relief. I respect everyone's hustle though usually no matter what it is they're doing so more power to him.

Skill set????

Lemme guess...Michael Vick > Matt schaub in your world.

Kind of hard to take that analysis serious. Skill set would have Jamarcus Russell on par with Steve McNair.

I confused as to how you think that's good analysis. Maybe chris Johnson remembers who he used to be or half if who he used to be, but chris Johnson and Jevon ringer are equal to Arian foster and Ben Tate?

Even Titan fans would disagree with that.

Dorsett was pretty much washed up by the time Walker was on the scene. Foster and Tate are probably the best combo since the Jags had Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew.
 
These previews are nothing more than hedging bets so that the reviewer can say he was right no matter which team wins.


FAIL
 
i'm with diggy, skill matters - results dont. jerry rice was too slow, we should give ted ginn those records. polamalu isnt big enough to be very good, from now on taylor mays is the best strong safety. jamarcus russell should be the highest paid player in football for just sitting on his couch, that dude has a cannon! schaub? noodle arm, slow, and just plain goofy looking ... david car though, that guy has a big arm, good feet and great hair - why havent we brought him in yet?
 
Thanks Em, always appreciate your work.

First of all, the Oiler reference to the Titans is as offensive as it gets. Real Oiler fans hate the Titans.

Spread the 3-4? You know, the talking heads are all talking about "Revis Island" as the best defensive player in the league. The best D player right now this season is JJ Watt. And I don't care what the possums do to spread out the 3-4, JJ will be lockin up some Jake on Sunday!

Thanks man!
 
I enjoy the occasional Em Diggy video but at this point it's obvious that he is trolling Texans Talk for the hits.

Nobody who has ever watched a game of NFL football thinks that Tennessee and Houston have equal RB's and O'lines. The comment about "more of a skill set type of thing" are disingenuous at best.

He had Bush/Thomas as a push against Foster/Tate in his Miami preview as well.
Click to expand...

The funny thing is that at least that comparison, while still totally flawed, actually has played out somewhat evenly. Bush has been decent this year. The miami run game has been ok.
They are ranked 4th overall, we are ranked 5th overall. The key though is they are averageing 5 yards per carry, and we are at around 4.

But the Titans? Of all the teams? The titans? Chris Johnson has the lowest ypc of any player in the NFL that receives multiple touches a game
 
I swear, when I clicked on this thread I was going to come in here and type "Texans/Titans running game is a push. Just messing with you EM, I know you know better than to write something like that

Mike"


and holy cow... he actually said it? Not sure what's a bigger disappointment this year, EM or the Saints. Was your producer caught up in bountygate or something? Should I just wait for next year?

Texas Tom, be nice to the guy. It is nice to hear non Texans fan's opinion and sometimes very informative. Although I often disagree with what Em said, it is interesting to know the 3rd party's opinion to see what other fans(Non Texans fan) think of us.

You and I included, the most of us here at TTC are well aware of how BAD ass team we got and that is enough for me. Other fans will eventually find out how good we are. I would say Non Texans fans will find out about us after SB win in February.

Go Texans!!!

I would agree with you except that when he says stuff like that it is impossible for me to compare what he says and take it seriously. "Skill set?" Vince Young had a great skill set.

I hear you Mike. I just take it as no more than their opinion and just let it go when others said something incorrect. Because, we as the Texans fans know much better about our team than the others (non Texans fans). Like I said, we all know what kind of team we got this year and I just can't wait until February. We waited long enough. It is our turn to shine.

After February, I don't think not many people dare to try compare our talents to other teams talents.

Go Texans!!!

Yeah and his argument was that bush, Thomas and Lamar miller were better than our top three...Lamar miller was his big sticking point and he basically said his talent far outweighed forsett's.

Only thing is Lamar miller wasn't even a top three rb for them at that point and was not even active.

And then it was "if they switched o-lines and schemes"...

Well, that made no sense either since they weren't switching olines and schemes.
 
Meh, guess it's a good thing I've never read/watched any of these in the past. It doesn't look like I ever will going by the posts in this thread.

:includeme:
 
I thought it was a pretty decent video. I like how you've incorporated some x's and o's on the board. If there was a way to go even further and incorporate a video of the type of plays you're talking about it would be that much better.

Like I said, "skill sets" don't mean squat if they don't translate into real, measurable performance. Give me a guy whose EFFORT and work ethic translate to production over some guy with "skill sets" that look good in the combine or pro days. If I've got a guy with both... JACKPOT!!

He can't really do that though, because his videos might get DMCA'd by the NFL. They have people that troll through Youtube and similar sites making DMCA claims to force people to go to NFL.com and other sites for their content.

Arian Foster was a UDFA, so what did that say about his "skill set"? It wasn't until he put up some "stats" that somebody said look what we've got here. At some point you have to look at a stat or it's going to appear like you don't have much of a clue, which is apparent in your videos.

That skill set vs. stats thing you keep clinging to is killing your credibility. Props to what you've got going on but I've probably seen my last of your vids.

It's been so long, I don't know last time I remember CJ sweeping around the end for any long gain. In fact, I'm not sure that he has taken anything long in recent history. I definitely looks like he has lost his blazing speed and now is not fast enough to take it to the outside.

Against the Lions, he bounced a couple to the outside, broke into open field, and ran for <15 yards before being tackled. His first couple of years in the league, those would have been touchdowns of 40+ yards.

He's just not the same guy he was and I'm hoping he doesn't suddenly remember who he was against us this weekend.
 
From Walterfootball's 2013 mock draft:

3rd round pick: Tennessee Titans: Andre Ellington, RB, Clemson
Based on the way he's running the football, you'd think Chris Johnson wants to retire and join Dancing with the Stars. The Titans need to bring in someone to push him.

haha!
 
So I guess playing and coaching holds no weight anymore.. Schefter/Schein is more knowledgable about football than me I guess.. Makes complete sense. Seeing my experience doesn't matter.. I'll go start Basketball Gameplan and be an expert in something I've never done before.

Keep your thong out of your cheeks.

We tolerate and actually appreciate your providing your opinion.

We get to disagree. That simple. You're the one who pulled the superior knowledge and I cant be questioned on stats cards.

Live with what you created or bail if you can't stand the heat.
 
Thankfully, I am Deaf and do not have to listen to the videos.

As an aside, please click the CC button in the video. You will not regret it.

So I can't respond to asinine attacks on my credentials/credibility? I don't mind disagreement/debates on scheme/philosophy that's expected and comes with the territory

As far as the 'stats' argument.. Stats only tell a small portion of the story.. Stats would lead you to believe that Emmitt Smith is better than Jim Brown. Although its up to your own opinion, just using stats in that case would be misleading

I have not suggested in any way your right to post here will be cut off.

I personally think your stats argument is lame. Emmitt and JB are two of my favorite RB's. The stats favor each in different ways and then you have to examine when they played and how long they played. I will say if you are one of these Emmitt only thrived off of his OL people then yeah I will immediately throw anything you claim to know in the dumpster.

At the same time, continue to post your analysis. I and others appreciate it even if we disagree with it.
 
Thanks Gang! The good thing you guys have going for you guys this week is that its a divisional opponent so the game will be close. And unlike the Jags & Colts, you guys have talent to actually pull off the upset. I think it will come down to controlling the clock so the RBs will have to step up. The way to stop a rusher like Watt is to run right at him

This is your post on the titans board, I really do hope they decide to run right at Watt.
