Julio Jones' Personal-Foul Penalty Ripped as 'Dumb S--t' by Titans HC Mike Vrabel

Julio Jones had a forgettable debut with the Tennessee Titans that included a 15-yard personal-foul penalty that upset head coach Mike Vrabel:

Mike Vrabel was rather critical of Julio Jones' personal foul call that resulted in a 3rd &amp; 1 turning into 3rd &amp; 16. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Titans?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Titans</a> <a href="https://t.co/Bh8m60skuI">pic.twitter.com/Bh8m60skuI</a>

"That would fall into the category of doing dumb s--t that hurts the team," Vrabel said of the penalty.

The incident came in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals with the Titans already down 10-0. Jones got into an altercation with opposing cornerback Byron Murphy, leading to a flag that turned a potential 3rd-and-1 into a 3rd-and-16 and an eventual punt.
