Titan's Fisher needs a make over

As a born and raised Tennessean, it's hard to believe the Music City Miracle is already a decade old. The Titans have since been one of the most consistent franchises in football, but no closer to a championship than Kevin Dyson's failed lunge in Super Bowl XXXIV. The NFL has changed since then. Head coach Jeff Fisher has not. While his play it safe, three yards and a cloud of dust mentality will win more games than lose. The obvious fact of the matter is that it is not conducive to winning a championship in today's game. Rule changes and better athletes have turned the NFL into a more wide open game. It is a scoring friendly league now. Jeff Fisher's obsession with the 99 team's philosophy is now rearing it's ugly head in an embarrassing start to the season.

Smash mouth football plays into the opposing team's defense in today's game. Rarely do you find a team now with enough quality corner backs to slow down these multiple wide receiver sets. Even traditional smash mouth fraternity brothers Pittsburgh and Baltimore are starting to open up their offense and let their young quarterbacks (no pun intended) make plays with their weapons on the outside. Tennessee, if nothing else, has a young athletic quarterback that can be used in more creative packages. Maybe in spot duty, he can help spark some energy into a season that has an alarmingly decreasing pulse. Forget what you did last year, last week, or yesterday. Your team is 0-4 and starring down the barrel of a loaded and undefeated Colts team. Change is the only think we can predict about the future. For Jeff Fisher and the Titans, there's no time like the present.
