The inexperienced quarterback holds his second tenure for a game at stake.
Next Saturday the Titans will face the Jaguars for an AFC South final, with the key to the division title and a place in the playoffs at stake. In a press conference, Mike Vrabel announced that his attack will be led by Josh Dobbs to this critical match, in the absence of Ryan Tannehill. Rookie Malik Willis will remain on the bench.
The coach justified his decision by explaining that in his eyes Dobbs gives the club more chances of victory, and that he will allow more varied calls to be made in this playoff match before the hour.
“I think he’s ready for this opportunity, and he’s looking forward to it,” Vrabel told The Associated Press. ” […] I think it will allow us to add things, and maybe try things that we have prepared in training but have not called on the field. It will be good to have a full week, to be able to review the first, second, and third attempts, to emphasize the actions in the red zone. Since he hasn’t been there much. I think we have to really look at his understanding of the red zone, and everything that’s happening on the pitch. »
During his first career start against Dallas, Dobbs had 20 of 39 passes attempted, 232 yards thrown, 1 touchdown, 1 interception and 1 fumble lost.
