Why Vrabel’s handling of Malik Willis was good coaching

Tennessee Titans Head Coach Mike Vrabel yanked rookie quarterback Malik Willis two plays into the third quarter. It qualified as a strange occurrence given that Willis started the second half. To add to the weirdness, Willis was pulled after gaining 17 yards via an exciting scramble. Willis didn’t appear to pull up with an injury on the play. Vrabel clarified the reasoning for inserting Logan Woodside in the middle of a drive. It was classic Vrabel.

Vrabel on taking Willis out after the second play of the third quarter: I wanted him to throw the ball.
