I gave you a like on the rest of your post. I think the brutal nature of the sport demands gtd pay.

Fano if he gets past the Titans.

China is the country most dependent on the Strait of Hormuz for oil imports, receiving roughly 37.7% of the crude oil and condensate passing through the strait. While Asian economies as a whole are highly reliant (receiving ~89% of the transit), China’s massive manufacturing base and high volume of imports from the Gulf make it the most vulnerable to disruption. ------------ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_war The war began on 7 October 2023, when the Palestinian militant group Hamasled a surprise attack on Israel, in which 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals were killed and 251 were taken hostage. Since the start of the Israeli offensive that followed, over 72,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–Israel_conflict 2024 Direct confrontations included missile and drone exchanges, with Israeli bombings of Iranian targets in Syria and Iranian retaliatory attacks on Israeli territory. ------------ https://www.wionews.com/photos/us-iran-nuclear-talks-which-countries-depend-most-on-the-strait-of-hormuz-india-is-on-the-list-1771503908251/1771503908252 India imports a majority of its crude oil, with a significant share sourced from Gulf producers whose shipments transit Hormuz. Any closure would impact fuel prices, inflation, shipping costs and strategic petroleum reserves across the Indian economy. -------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_war On 28 February 2026, the United States and Israel launched a war with surprise airstrikes on sites and cities across Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several other Iranian officials as well as inflicting dozens of civilian casualties. Iran responded with missile and drone strikes against Israel, US bases, and US-allied countries in the Middle East. _______________________________________________________________ Shits complicated. We live good. Our poor people have more material wealth than average citizens in many countries. I want to keep my shit. I got a refrigerator full of not so healthy food, but I bought it. I had a choice. 72,000 is a lot of deaths. It could be wrong, but does it benefit or hurt me? We just had a snow storm. No Heat. Damaged property. That was very uncomfortable for 10 days or so. What if my home had been blown up. You see the bees. Work everyday gathering pollen to make honey. Go home and there's a bear eating all their shit. Trump's big point in his cabinet meeting was "Do we want to fight them over there, or over here?"

Cam's had it tough all through his career. TX, **, WA, FL. He's been mowing down the opposition. He's got a helluva story and that's why we love him. I just don't want them to mishandle him. As you mentioned, bc/paw were about the worse you could do to a team. A R-QB, disaster. First of the season, it looked like Cam couldn't understand the plays. We still don't know about the line, all that lego shit paw had could have ruined some development. Just a lot of variables.

This is the hardest football time, worse than waiting for the first game. The damn draft. The amount of time spent trying to figure out who you are going to get is torture. I mentioned this before, I think adding a superstar RB to the offense is gong to up the pressure on Cam. Accuracy. If Ayo bobbles and drops a ball-Boo Ayo. Cam's ball has to be better placed. I believe in Cam, but if I'm all the way honest he left plays on the field. He's young. He can throw a football and I believe the accuracy is coming. They got him WDR, #14 WR in 2024. Ridley is capable, but he's missed about 30gms in his seven year career. That's a lot of receiving talent. What are you expecting? What would PM do with Ridley, WDR and Love coming out of the backfield? They have used Mahomes as a comp for Cam. I think that's leaves not many excuses in the mind of avg fans. A reasonable season for a 3-14 team moving in the right direction is 6gms, 7games. Question? What are your expectations? Titans offense Cam, WDR, Ridley and Love will win how many games?

He's a special weapon. Weapon gets broke-then what?

YES SIR! The Titans were rolling. Even after Henry went down they had the best record in the AFC. That team was beating up opponents. They somehow lost to the Jets early in the season, but they were hard to beat. Tannehill won games. He won eight games with the top RB contributions of 86, 68, 29, 30, 47, 31, 132 and 69. The 86yd and 68yd total was with Henry. I think Henry hurt his foot against KC because he was running funny against Indy.

How much is the pick worth? Love? If he's as valuable as people are saying, what could the Titans get in a trade? I just don't like taking a RB in round one. We just went through RB dependency and a broke foot cost a real shot at the SB.

moved.

A backwards bounce pass? That's some...

The IA is winding down. I remember when it started, I was cool with it. Now it's an outlaw. The feds are making companies pay pennies for a problem so serious it's killing American's youth. Don't just think of children who have committed suicide, their number is probably what , fifty times fifty other 10-16yos suffering from being shamed on the WWH. I grew you got picked on at school, you went home. All fun. Today's kids have it on their phones and we live in a mean/angry time. A.I. says it will enhance and elevate whatever we are doing or wish to do. Sixty percent of Americans use it and it just a baby.

The Titans didn't punt that much when he was in TN, they preferred to kick FGs.

He didn't look different when he played here. If he looked like that video, he'd have gotten a nickname. All they ever talked about was him wearing a Rolex when he punted!

They shouldn't have done him like that.

I am sure this mock will not happen. So sure I promise the board $150. if that's the order of the draft. Every player we wanted in on the list except QB. Styles is next. We need to keep doing what we do, OT-this time a lefty.

The Titans just signed WDR* in addition to Ridley*, Ayo, Dike and Helm. That's a big step up. There will be a lot of pressure put on Cam by fans who expect the team explode.

I bet the Titans could get some good picks if Love is on the board. The Titans fans aren't the only ones excited about an elite RB. Some team that needs just one more elite offensive player might give the Titans a lot. There's a tackle that will be left, Monroe Freeling. IMO, Freeling will still be starting when the Titans become an annual perennial contender.

Kinda makes you wonder about taking one #4. We have already established it's chancy. RB have short careers. Welcome to the 2030 SB. Cam #1 Ward and Jeremiah Love vs tonight's losers...

Rebuild or Reload? What should our goals be for 26', 27', 28*? Are we all about making a surprise run to the SB this season? I like Robert Saleh, but I don't think he's the coach to take the 3-14 Titans to the Super Bowl in 26'. I'm looking at a 4-6 win team. Six wins is it. The key will be the team's development under Saleh and Company. They have brought in a good group of coaches this year and last year's draft was good. Still, a lot has to happen before they start rolling over Indy, Jax and Houston. 2026 probably 1-5? Cam Ward needs to be developed. He spent his first season under a coach who got fired for incompetence. Cam Ward was sacked twice as many times as SB winner Sam Darnold. Cam's just starting to play professional football, so he needs to be protected enough for the Titans to decide if he's a real NFL starter. Can he figure out where to throw the ball and throw it fast/accurate enough for a completion? I think there are different ideas about how you solve this problem. Use the #4 pick on a RB/WR? Get the best Edge available at #4? Or trade out to get more picks? Is there opportunity later in the first to pick a different RB? Or, is there an OL later in round one that could help keep the QB clean?

Opinion and Question. I like Wan'Dale a lot. I am for building the offense. I think the Love talk has everybody excited like we are going to zip to the playoffs by getting an explosive offensive player like him, but that's a long way from a given. I think they need to get a LT, now. I imagine everyone's opinion is we have enough. Sko. JC. Moore? There are some good OL coming out, but some are highly rated RT's. The Trade back and make strategized picks. Perennial elites? RB has to be the least successful position at producing them based on pre-draft thinking . He will help Cam. Cam needs time in the pocket to develop. What about trading back and drafting tackle late first, high second. Develop him with the two good young ones Sko and JT. Get a young foundation to have jelled when the run starts. IMO, they did a really good job last year. The fourth round picks showed a lot of forward thinking. Develop your QB. Protect your QB. They can be fragile.

28.2sec. foul 26.4sec TN 73 VA 71 2pt make it 75-71 imo VA is done. Airball. WTF airball???? Get outta here!

The Big Orange is taking names and kicking ass. ELITE 8!! I want them to win it all, but making the Elite 8 is huge for the program! Last night was textbook, play who you got. Barnes kept changing his lineup the first half and into the second to get the right guys on the floor. Barnes knows his talent. The game started tough for TN w/Iowa putting clamp coverage on the Vols. It was scary, the Vols couldn't score. Barnes just kept sending players in. The dike broke and the Vols made some shots to finish the half. Then second half it was over. Iowa did what? They ran out of gas. The starters were cooked playing that lockdown D.

I made a lot of posts in 21' about how Tannehill stood in the pocket, got the hell beat out of him and still guided the Titans to the best record in the AFC. Vrabel HCOY. Henry Broke foot. Tannehill had to make it work with his game. "I'm standing here on my spot and I'm going to throw this football. I don't give a shit if I get hit." It's amazing he survived without injury. I spoke about that a lot. But some fans didn't see that. They saw other RBs putting up yards similar to Henry. They criticized the HC for doing what he did in 2019,2020,2021 pre injury. What do other coaches do? When a player goes down they run their same offense as best they can. Why? They have worked on their game plans since the end of the season before. The personnel fits what they do. They can't just go get KC's or LA's playbook and run that. But no, somehow when key players are missing the team should function exactly the same? They run to PFF* looking for flaws. We were a fierce team during that time. KC. Buffalo. LA. Baltimore. Walked off the field beat by the Titans. Those Buffalo games where the best. How do you see all that and come to the conclusion the HC sucked? smh. bc sucked. Mike Vrabel took one year off and took a 3-14 team to the SB. 'He played an easy schedule.' I wish they had won to hear, 'well the NFC was weak this year.' I'll tell you what's weak. Saying Derrick Henry, aka da King isn't a NFL great. Then refusing to give a NFL HC any credit after he wins HCOY twice and takes a three win team to a SB in his first season. That's just a disingenuous way of shaking up old peoples.

THIS^^^ Unfortunately, there is a dwindling group of posters who refuse to acknowledge a Titans great. Henry is also a NFL great. Comparing the two. Who among us didn't fall in love with Tannehill in 2019? RT was da shit. How long? How long had it been since we had a QB throwing beautiful, catchable balls all over the field. Catchable balls. Tanny was a for real NFL QB. JRob swindled Miami out of a QB for us. He drafted Henry after passing him up twice(?). I imagine teams figured he didn't have much left. JRob got us a big bad boy named Jeff. Talked the owner into letting him take him. Byard-elite NFL safety. Adoree returning punts. Davis catching balls and blocking way downfield to help other players get yac. Big Jack. Lewan. Player after player. We played like a loaded team. So many people were involved, it's hard to credit them all. JRob hired a young coach everyone said would be one of the best. At the same time he hired ML considered one of the best coaches in the NFL. Dean Pees. Arthur Smith. That team and that coaching staff was one of the best in the NFL. BUT. There was then, now and as long as they have professional football players a few that are just special. A player who is an unusual great. Anyone who loves the game and fails to see greatness on their own team leaves me dumbfounded. Especially when led by one of my main guys from wayback. Google is your friend. Google chances to make HOF. Put Ryan's name, then Derrick's name. I don't know why I even bother. I don't shit on players. Isaiah and a few others are exceptions. In your words "everything was working that team was SO much fun to watch" But here we are. Vrabel, JRob, Derrick don't deserve the credit they earned. Run down da King? That dog just don't hunt.
