Why would the Ravens let him walk though?

 

Anyway, good article. I think the Titans should try Warmack on the other side first, just to see. Also, he needs to have a workout regime in the offseason that is tight and fatally enforced (yeah...if he doesn't do it, kill him). He should be much better than he is. In college, he was quite good, obviously, and it wasn't just the line he was on. In fact, when he first got here, he made some interesting plays. But he just hasn't become more consistent. I don't think he's as bad as some have suggested. It's a consistency problem. He's very easily tricked by defenders. That swim move Watt put on him? Pure setup by Watt, and Warmack fell for it. Experience can help with that, but only if he's smart. I see no evidence yet that he is.

We should trade Warmack asap. I think he's a complete and utter failure. Was Eugene Amano or Jake Scott ever that bad?

Warmack is better now than Scott was his last year here. Not sure on Amano, that's a close one.

I'd rather have Hali when he gets released than McPhee. But I'd be happy with anyone over Phillips and Wimbley.

 

I know I've seen McPhee line up not as a traditional 3-4 OLB in the past, I was surprised he was listed as an OLB. I think he could be used as a down lineman more, and Hali as OLB. I really want to load up on young talent, and I'm not sure how much Hali has left. If he's likely to be another Shawn Phillips, pass.

* I don't know how much longer the Titans can stick with Chance Warmack, he's too big a problem at this point to try and work around. Half way through his 2nd year you'd like to think he can still be salvaged but there is no evidence that he's improving in the slightest. Levitre will be easy with his huge salary and terrible production he's an easy decision but Warmack will be tougher to replace considering his draft position.

What is the *usual* development time for OLs and in particular Gs?  Yes, super studs are "plug and play" - but Warmack is obviously not one.  You mention that young WRs need time to develop, but there are super studs like the dude over in Buffalo lighting it up as a rookie.

I can think of Brad Hopkins being considered an early bust and then ending ip having a great career. The difference there is Hopkins had unquestioned athleticism. His strength and dedication were questioned. And I remember the OL coach questioning his football smarts. 

 

Warmack just doesn't look like much of an athlete. He will never live up to his draft spot this is for sure at this point. I haven't given up on him being serviceable at guard though. He needs to get stronger.  It might actually be worth it to take a look at him on the left side after Levitre is punted for good. He might be better there. It's where he played his senior year.
