The Official Tennessee Titans thread IV

[Vols4us]

As much as I want to weigh in on the O makeover, I have to temper it until I see the OC hire. I know what I want to see. We need both the draft and FA to hit the jackpot this off season no matter which way they go. If Vrabs is going to play favorites and just dawdle along doing what he has been doing on O, it will not matter IMO.

The O-line sucks - just plain awful. Having Henry is meaningless without an O-line that can block for his style running because he does not pass pro. The D's know he is to be featured in the run game and used as a receiver in the pass game when he is in there. The scheme telegraphs it - he doesn't block. I do not believe they can remake the O-line soon enough to dominate the D-lines in the league before Henry's usefulness is over. That is how they had their success before, they could then play action pass effectively. If they attempt to do just that anyway, they have to invest big in the O-line and hope to grab a speed WR that can stay healthy. It will mean less investment in the D and I simply do not believe they can afford that and still win at a playoff level.

If the O scheme evolves to current times, trade Henry while he can still bring good value. To me it is the key to the lock. I would rather increase the emphasis in the passing game with talented receivers and an O-line that accommodates it than grind out yet another .500 season with Henry. They can wait on the franchise QB or sign a Purdy type to be ready to step in when Tanny's time is over or he is injured.

What in the ever-living f*** has Ryan Stonehouse done or not done to be passed over TWICE for the Pro Bowl spot?? Unreal.

Pro bowl is a joke. What does the average fan know about who the best punter or right guard is?

Case and point Tyler Huntley is headed to the Pro Bowl and only threw for 648 yards and 2 TDs.

 

[Burhead]

There's a couple guys in that bunch that could help if the price tag is reasonable.

Be interesting to see if we bring in any San Fran guys now Carthon is our GM.

Turf time: Titans say ditching grass helps health

While I prefer natural grass, I'll support this because the field at Nissan Stadium has been terrible for years.

Not a 2nd incident. This presents as a 2nd issue.

Which begs the question why wasn't he fired on the spot?

Not sure it truly mattered, but we lost every game after that arrest. No answer to your question other than they may have just followed procedure/protocol.

Vrabel was tanking without actually tanking

Yeah but you don't typically get mandatory jail time with 1st offense.

In Williamson County you do…….

I really hate this move to turf. Most players in the league hate it and it usually leads to an increase in ACL injuries.

Damn. Good for them

In TN you get 48 hrs I think

But isn't that part of the reason we're switching. We've led the NFL in players used the last 2 season.

Please

Please

I agree. Go with the real deal instead of a Liberty Flame-out who could not win the job at Auburn. It's time the pro team in this state recognizes and drafts the obvious players that fit them from down the road that the rest of the NFL knows about. How would we feel about the O-line if they had drafted Trey Smith as an example. We would say one spot is held for a decade by one of the very best G's in the league, go focus on the other positions. Now we have an often injured RG in Davis who is due an extension and nobody at LG to go with a good, but nearing retirement C and no LT. Brilliant.

HH, Darnell Wright, and Jalin Hyatt. Even Carvin and Young should be on their radar for positions of need. I hope they wake up, but doubt the do since they never have before.

Better than Tannehill, that’s for sure.

It could be the complete opposite, but I've seen several articles come out that athletes hate it because they believe it leads to more knee injuries.

Is there actual data to back that up? Because you went from it's an increase in injuries to athletes believe it leads to more injuries.

While I don't doubt the players prefer grass, I can't imagine any of them preferring the condition Titans' field has been for years over this new turf. I'm pretty sure Titans' field has been voted one of the worst in the NFL for years.
