Ruh-roh. Hopefully that's not codeword for "pay by the pound" quarterback bounties. Seriously, I always considered Greg W. 's defenses to be aggressive. I loved the "99-2000" Titans defenses.

He went from being the smartest guy in the building to the lackey on Lake Erie.

It was a fluff piece but the insight on his character was encouraging to hear

I don't know if this article has been posted but I thought it was a good read and insightful information. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/why-titans-first-round-pick-jc-latham-can-be-an-all-pro-before-you-know-it/ar-BB1m3Pdu?ocid=socialshare&pc=U531&cvid=52816b0a4c644710841bb962ea7e21a4&ei=51

NWI knew all the WR routes, didn't have many drops, was willing to block and could be trusted to be in the right place at the right time and not screw up. He was a good soldier and he was also cheap.

Should have been called Run 'n Punt under Vrabel.

Gotta factor in the Vrabel effect too. Vrabel had too much power and wanted more. Buh-bye Mike!

The Titans are turning their roster over at a fast rate. According to Jason from Over The Cap, the Titans have the one of the lowest percentages of players returning from 2023, sitting at 63.2%, which ranks sixth. Then take into account the coaching staff changes and you have a near total makeover from last year's dysfunctional organization. I would guess the over/under on wins this year to be pretty low. It may be worth plunking a C note down on the over.

Jones has some injury history. Familiarity with the OC doesn't move the needle much either way for me.

I'm talking about his size and body not what his combine numbers would be

Personally, I think Sweat will turn out to be the steal of our draft. Teair who??

Truth is, the NFL draft is a high priced crap shoot, even when picking in the top ten. Top ten picks raise the pressure to make a solid pick and not gamble. Unfortunately, the draft didn't fall our way to get the most likely pro ready LT so we went to plan B which was Latham. It sounded to me like they fully expected Alt to be gone so I'm sure they looked at Latham under a microscope prior to the draft. His measureables were off the charts, he comes from an Alabama program that churns out pro-ready prospects and we have one of the best Oline coaches in the game so while it's a gamble, it was one they felt was worth taking. They obviously believe that he can transition to LT. Unfortunately it's not what we as fans want to hear because we just sat through two terrible seasons of watching horrid LT play and QBs being injured because of it. This draft wasn't the perfect case scenario, but I do believe we drafted a valuable piece of the future offensive line. Sometimes the slotted value and positional value be damned.

A valiant effort in game six but you can't win in the NHL without scoring goals. The defense played well but the Preds couldn't score on the Nucks 3rd string goalie. I was pretty sure we would take the series back to Vancouver for game seven but it wasn't to be. Especially being that this Preds team was the highest scoring team in Preds history. The talent was there but couldn't make it happen. Interesting that the road team won every game in the series.

The critical areas that needed most improvement was the offensive line, WR, and CB and I thought we killed it there. With some improvement at the QB position I think we win 8-9 games. Still some holes to fill on the Dline but I think we had a solid draft/offseason.

That's true. The guy hadn't even played any football for an entire year, was still rehabbing injuries, had well known serious back issues and we had other huge draft needs that could/should have been filled. I hated the pick on draft day and it kept getting worse. At least Wilson was given the thumbs up by the Georgia coaching staff despite being a raw prospect.
