What is the sound of zero hands clapping?

Per sources, former Cowboys coach Jason Garrett will interview with the Tennessee Titans for their vacant head coach position.

.@Titans @Jaguars @GrindSimmons94 is he the VERY BEST DT in the NFL today? He disrupts every offense every week...An absolute menace to all of the genius offensive coordinators in this league. #BaldysBreakdowns

Dan Quinn tried the "fire both coordinators" trick in ATL, which we covered in one edition of @fboutsiders Almanac. Spoiler: it didn't work. If you're canning both OC and DC, just fire the HC as well and flush for a full reset.

#Titans received positive news on Cam Ward. AC joint sprain. Surgery has NOT been recommended. They feel it’s best-case scenario. I don’t know if tests confirmed initial report of grade 3.


Titans players who played more snaps on Offense or Defense Week 18 than they did Weeks 1-17 combined (snaps w/ TEN only): QB Brandon Allen WR Bryce Oliver OL Jackson Slater DL Cam Horsley OLB Ali Gaye CB Micah Robinson SAF Erick Hallett + Sanoussi Kane + Jerrick Reed

Expectation is that Cam Ward's shoulder injury is "significant," but it requires further testing. If Grade 3 is confirmed, here's what you can expect, per a shoulder expert I just spoke with.

With that completion to David Martin-Robinson (penalty is enforced from downfield spot), Brandon Allen FINALLY passes Cam Ward in passing yards. Took him 9 possessions & 26 attempts to exceed what Cam did in his 3 passes on 1 drive.


Lesson of the day: if you want to go walk over and yell at the zebra, stay a couple feet away from him


Cam Ward played 1 drive and STILL has more passing yards than Brandon Allen through 45 minutes.

Brandon Allen is 11/20 for 44 yards and a Pick 6 heading into the 4Q
