Some of the main themes of his message were consistency Authentic Josh Kline Jersey , effort, and focus. As usual, the coach refused to point the blame at any individual players, saying that the only two guys that the Titans didn’t need more from against the Bills were Ryan Succop and Brett Kern. It sounded like Vrabel was disappointed in the effort from the defense on the Josh Allen touchdown run. There appeared to be a lack of intensity from some players in pursuit of the Bills quarterback on that play and that’s unacceptable. As Vrabel said, “they can beat us, but they can’t outwork us.” Vrabel was quick to take responsibility for the delay of game penalty that pushed a 3rd and 3 to a 3rd and 8 during a Titans drive on the edge of field goal range. He said that he thought they were going to get it off and didn’t want to use a timeout if he didn’t have to. The big injury question coming out of the Bills game was with regards to Taylor Lewan who left early with a foot injury. He is having an MRI today to see what exactly is going on with the injured foot. It’s something that Lewan said he’s dealt with in the past. Dennis Kelly has a chance to be available this week according to Vrabel. He said that they worked him out before the game on Sunday and the biggest hurdle remaining is Kelly feeling comfortable that he’s ready to play. If Lewan’s injury is going to keep him out for any length of time, Kelly’s availability will be critical for the offense.Vrabel was asked about his feelings about the wide receiver depth and simply responded that he and Jon Robinson will continue to evaluate the roster at all positions, including receiver. I know the clamoring for Dez Bryant is going to ramp back up after Nick Williams let a potential win slip right through his arms in Buffalo Youth Logan Ryan Jersey , but do we really think adding the receiver who led the NFL in drops in 2017 to this roster is going to fix the drop issue? Vrabel praised Jonnu Smith’s work in pass protection, saying that it was much better this week than it was against the Eagles. Regarding his lack of targets, he said that he needs to continue to build trust with Marcus Mariota.The Titans coach had a conversation with Rashaan Evans about the tweet regarding inside linebacker not being his primary position. Vrabel said that Evans can’t have it both ways with regards to social media and has to be consistent with his approach regardless of whether the team wins or loses. Regarding his play in the game, he said that he thought Evans had some good moments, but also a couple missed tackles that he would like to have back. Specifically one where he tried to crush LeSean McCoy instead of just squaring him up and making the tackle. One thing that really struck me from the press conference was Vrabel’s willingness to admit that he doesn’t know everything regarding quarterback and running back play specifically. He admits that he’s never played those positions and therefore he can only make suggestions and lean on others who have. It’s refreshing to hear a coach admit to not being an all-knowing expert on all things football. Mike Vrabel can't remember a game where he didn't have butterflies in his stomach before kickoff. As a linebacker over 14 seasons, he could get rid of them with a crunching tackle.He won't have that luxury Sunday in Miami making his NFL regular season head coaching debut with the Tennessee Titans."I don't think I'll need any hits from the team," Vrabel said Thursday. "We all just stay composed and do our jobs. That's the most important thing."Not much is expected from the Titans this season with the coaching change despite Tennessee winning its first playoff game in 14 years with back-to-back 9-7 seasons . Vrabel has three Super Bowl rings as a linebacker with New England , and the coach who frequently picks up a blocking pad and works with the Titans in practices has made it very clear what he wants.Three-time Pro Bowl tight end Delanie Walker said Vrabel doesn't care what people say outside of the locker room or about Tennessee's winless preseason. Vrabel's focus has been preparing the Titans for the regular season Cheap Dion Lewis Jersey , and Walker said the coach has been tough on them."He's the type of guy he challenges you every day with questions asking you, 'What's the defensive players' names? What's their numbers?' And I think that's just to see how we've been preparing," Walker said. "I'm excited to see how he is when we get down there in Miami and get the game started."Defensive lineman Jurrell Casey, another defensive lineman, thinks Vrabel's attitude of pushing everyone will help the Titans achieve more. Casey sees Vrabel creating a mindset that everyone has to bring more. Even on the practice field, the Titans are expected to jog between drills with Vrabel usually leading the way."That's what I love about him," Casey said. "He's expecting a lot from everybody. The stars, he's expecting more Brian Orakpo Jersey , and the young guy he's expecting you to rise up and become stars."The Titans currently have a five-game winning streak in their first road game of the season, which started in 2013 with Mike Munchak.Ken Whisenhunt and Mike Mularkey kept that streak alive, wins that didn't deliver nearly enough to keep either man around very long.Now it's Vrabel's turn with the Titans gambling that the man long pegged as the next surefire success as an NFL head coach succeeds in Tennessee. Defensive coordinator Dean Pees, who came out of a short retirement to come to Tennessee, says Vrabel has been a professional as a player, assistant and coordinator. He expects nothing less now Vrabel is a head coach.Nerves are part of the job even for experienced coaches like himself, according to Pees who's going into his 46th NFL season."If you haven't got a little something churning in your stomach, I think it's probably something wrong with you http://www.titanscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-logan-ryan-jersey ," Pees said. "You're not very competitive. So it's going to be exciting for him, and I'm excited to watch him too."A handful of Titans made clear that whatever happens on the field falls on their shoulders.Walker said Vrabel and the assistants he brought in have been great, but they can only put the Titans in position to execute. Veteran linebacker Wesley Woodyard said the players can help minimize any growing pains by winning on game day for a man who played for a great coach in New England's Bill Belichick."It seems like he's a little bit more experienced than a first-time head coach," Woodyard said.NOTES: Rookie LB Harold Landry (ankle) did not practice Thursday after being limited Wednesday. S Kendrick Lewis (foot) missed a second straight practice. RT Jack Conklin (left knee) and LB Rashaan Evans (hamstring) were limited. LB Derrick Morgan (knee) practiced fully after being limited Wednesday.Follow Teresa M. Walker at teresamwalker
