SPONSOR: Jasper’s is the next evolution of the Sports Bar. One of my personal favorite places to go, they’re taking bar food to a whole other level. Ridiculously cold beer, and fantastic food. It is 100% Zach Lyons tested, 1000% (not a typo) Zach Lyons approved.
CONTEST continues through September: I am personally holding a contest for our listeners:
- Goto Jasper’s for drinks, dinner, lunch, or brunch
- Take a picture of your drinks and/or food
- Upload it on Twitter, & tag @FWordsPod, @JaspersNash in the tweet (Important: not the picture)
- Save your receipt!!!
- On the first podcast episode in September, I will draw from Random a follower who tweeted at us.
- If you are drawn you will get up to $50 from me personally towards your bar tab (your tip not included in total)
- If the receipt shows you went on the date and time during a Titans game (2 games left in August), I will bump up the limit to up to $75 dollars (not including your tip)
- This is why the receipt is necessary
Zach & Mike … great show, men. Thanks.
Tracking your thoughts about Caleb Farley. I think you’re very much on point (Zach) with the idea that Caleb just needs to play and get reps if he’s ever gonna become good or even just show what he’s gonna be. Vrabel said himself that Farley needs reps when asked about why he was playing so deep into those late preseason games. And frankly, I believe his snap count will increase soon. If not this week, then perhaps after the bye.
It seems like Vrabel & his staff are much less linear than most coaches in how they they perceive player development timelines. They have their evaluation, and (for now) they have decided that Farley is too prone to free-lancing in ways that he hasn’t earned the right to freelance yet. So the staff just went over the top – even to the point of risking another L to a bad team – in order to drive home to him “you will do it our way, or you won’t do it here.”
Think about it. If you’re Kevin Byard, and this young cowboy disrupts your ability to do your job because he thinks he sees something to jump underneath, I bet you’re having a conversation with your coach to say, we gotta break that. Safeties get to freelance in ways that CB’s don’t – especially all-pro safeties.
So my take is that this is an issue similar to when Vrabel benched Malik Willis right after a long first down scramble.
Go, Titans!
