On execution as the buzzword after the Titans' Houston debacle
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After a debacle like the Titans had in Houston, it’s very important for some of us to dole out the blame. It’s part of how it works, certainly, but it also lands us in some dizzying circular arguments.
When a team gets blown out, much of the conversation among fans afterward tends to be about whether it was ready and if it quit.
Hey @PaulKuharskyNFL how long will the @Titans allow Mularkey to hide behind excuse of bad plyr execution instead of his piss poor coaching?

Is bad player execution on the players who didn't execute or the coaches who didn't get them to execute? Hop on that merry-go-round and it can be hard to jump off.
No, the Titans weren’t ready for the Texans. They had plans that didn’t work and they were unable to adjust in a way that made any difference. While Mike Mularkey pointed to the late effort, it’s pretty rare for a coach to say a team stopped giving maximum effort at the end.
