By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – December 23, 2018) Some wondered where this piece was last night, but it didn’t make sense to write something that could be rendered outdated or obsolete within 24 hours due to results of other games. So, now that we KNOW quite a bit more, let’s talk about what happened yesterday…… more
By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – December 16, 2018) Two games remain in the Tennessee Titans 2018 regular season. As much as we still might not know about this team, we definitely know this: They’ve got to win both of them, and they’ll play both in front of what should be a pair of good home…… more
By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – December 6, 2018) AGENT NINETY-NINE No intro to this piece. Derrick Henry IS the intro to this piece. It’s only happened one other time in NFL history, and that was by a guy named Dorsett for the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football nearly 35 years ago. Derrick Henry had…… more
By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – November 26, 2018) I mean seriously. THAT effort after last week against the Colts. Yes, the Texans have won eight in a row, that defense is legit, Watson is dealing, Hopkins is outstanding, and Lamar Miller has had a great a season. But this was a 17 point loss in…… more
By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – November 24, 2018) Well, it’s over. By “it,” I mean Tennessee’s 2018 college football season. At 5-5, Jeremy Pruitt and his team had two opportunities at bowl eligibility and lost both in convincing fashion. Outside of the Florida performance, no two efforts were less impressive than last week at home…… more
By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – November 18, 2018) Shortly before Sunday’s kickoff in Indianapolis, I tweeted out “Don’t Buffalo this.” While I was fully aware the Colts were far better than the Bills, it was more about the road letdown after a major home victory. After three straight wins, culminating in the overtime dub over…… more
By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – November 18, 2018) Yeah, that wasn’t good. I said on Friday’s Big 6 program that of the multiple similarities between the Titans and Vols, the biggest is the frustrating consistent inconsistency. When you least expect it, these are teams that will either rise to an occasion or get absolutely embarrassed.…… more
By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – November 11, 2018) Um…what? It’s not that the Titans won on Sunday for the second time in six days, this time against the vaunted New England Patriots and arguably the greatest quarterback in NFL history, because it can happen. It’s HOW they won. This was domination, and every time you…… more
By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – November 3, 2018) Embarrassing. How to get six takeaways from one of the most uninspiring performances I’ve ever seen from a Power 5 football team at home? I have no idea, but I’m going to try. THE OFFENSIVE LINE It’s bottom of the barrel. Charlotte absolutely annihilated the Vols…… more
By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – October 27, 2018) It was a dramatic game, well-played on one side of the ball throughout much of the game, but it was also an infuriating night for Jeremy Pruitt and likely for Vols fans across the nation. Why? Well, because in a game that was this close, self-inflicted mistakes…… more
