The Official Tennessee Titans thread IV

[TJVol95]

Willis will probably be a Titan in a few…

 

[CagleMtnVol]

The Titans proceed to draft a punter at 26.

Don't give them any ideas!

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Johnson, right? If Ravens don't take him?

 

[Vol8188]

What’s our win total at 9.5? I’m about to take the under

 

[Vol8188]

Johnson, right? If Ravens don't take him?

I’d go center. He’s the best player left

 

[Orangeburst]

So just months ago..we had JJ and AJ, and now kaput.

 

[TrueOrange]

Well he did have his worst season last year across the board. They may know something we don’t about his health.

Maybe but his worse season was still almost 900 yards while playing 4 less games (3 less if you balance out the additional game).

 

[TrueOrange]

What’s the reason to keep him?

Among the fact that the team would pretty much be stripping everything down and tanking at everything but QB? RB generally doesn't draw as much value in trades because of the way most teams scheme offensively now. Cutting him creates $6 mil more in dead cap. Also the whole cutting superstars/national faces of franchises while they're still performing near the top of the league tend to result in drops in revenues via fan expenditures (ticket sales, jerseys and merchandise, etc).

 

[TrueOrange]

Don't give them any ideas!

You're right. Plus a long snapper would clearly be the better way to go.

 

[Burhead]

Ravens go with Tyler Linderbaum.

A temporary drop in the revenue for a chance to turn the franchise around? Worth it. I really don’t see the down side

Let’s be honest, we never really had Julio.

 

[SDV]

So pissed. Stupid move. F the Titans

 

[Orangeburst]

Let’s be honest, we never really had Julio.

I admit..but we were excited is all my point

 

[TrueOrange]

Well, there goes the Center. So...other OL, another WR, or CB?

 

[Burhead]

We traded out with the Jets.

 

[Vols4us]

Crapola. Linderbaum gone.

 

[Rishvol]

Le sigh. Another horrible draft coming

 

[Vols4us]

We traded out with the Jets.

Probably a good move with Linderbaum gone.

 

[Burhead]

I'm starting to hate J-Rob. We trade AJ and now we don't use our 2nd 1st round pick.

 

[Vols4us]

What’s our win total at 9.5? I’m about to take the under

Under - no doubt.

 

[Vol8188]

Probably the only good move we’ve made in years

 

[Rishvol]

I'm starting to hate J-Rob. We trade AJ and now we don't use our 2nd 1st round pick.

No one worth the money

That was a great deal.

You only read one part of that huh?

RB generally doesn't draw as much value in trades because of the way most teams scheme offensively now. Cutting him creates $6 mil more in dead cap space.

Also if a team tanks but still don't get the first overall pick because they win 1 too many games, it's very easy to end up pretty much in the no man's zone teams like the New York Jets have been regularly occupying.
