Jonboy Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 John Glennon @glennonsports 3m Mettenberger says needs to get muscle strength back in leg. Has worn knee brace two months. John Glennon @glennonsports 6m Mettenberger says knee still not 100 percent, but felt good today. He has no limitations on knee. Paul Kuharsky @PaulKuharskyNFL 10m Was strong crosswind at #Titans today. @mettshow threw darts through it. John Glennon @glennonsports 42s Lewan said he played some RT as well as LT today. Said there's a big adjustment between spots. Jim Wyatt @jwyattsports 48s Taylor Lewan said he got reps at left and right tackle today. Said he's going through "growing pains" #Titans Jim Wyatt @jwyattsports 10s Lewan is ticked off he was the third tackle off the board in the draft. Said he has something to prove #Titans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrus Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Someone better go remind Lewan that Mettenberger is a 6th round pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reo Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Someone better go remind Lewan that Mettenberger is a 6th round pick. Having poor odds doesn't mean he won't succeed... just makes it unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Having poor odds doesn't mean he won't succeed... just makes it unlikely. His odds of succeeding are not tied to which round he was drafted in. It's tied to him as a prospect and the environment he's coming into. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reo Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 His odds of succeeding are not tied to which round he was drafted in. It's tied to him as a prospect and the environment he's coming into. Correlation does not imply causation which is what you're missing. The odds of a 6th round pick making it are there regardless of why he was a 6th round pick. Doesn't mean the odds of him making it depend on the fact that he was a 6th rounder. The odds are low regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

N/A Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Reading those comments about Mettenberger in practice, this is already starting to become clear: I really truly think, unless injuries, Mettenberger will run away with the starting job. The writing is on the wall. ANd imagine as they get further into a new playbook: Locker (based on his development so far and having a weakness of not understanding complicated plays) will probably be struggling with the first few pages of the playbook, while Mettenberger (who excelled in one year with Cameron pro-style college offense) is helping get other players up to speed on it.

reo Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Seriously, I really truly think, unless injuries, Mettenberger will run away with the starting job. @IsntLifeFunny What was that you were saying about no one saying Mett was the future and that he'd win the starting job?

tgo Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Seriously, I really truly think, unless injuries, Mettenberger will run away with the starting job. Locker will probably be struggling with the first few pages of the playbook, while Mettenberger is helping get other players up to speed on it. Hmmmm, I really like Mett and think he has better NFL traits than Locker. But it will be Locker helping Mettenberger with the play-book. He's had much more time to get up to speed on it. The issue is executing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scine09 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 The thing with Locker vs Mettenberger is Whisenhunt almost can't lose. Locker has pretty much been written off as a bust so if he goes w/Mettenberger week one everyone will say that the Titans (in the media's eyes, rightly so) are giving up on Locker and playing the promising rookie with the strong arm. And if he goes with Locker then it'll be about trying to give the once promising player one more chance and him trying to turn his career around or that Mettenberger just isn't ready. Great position to be in IMO. And probably one of the main reasons he chose Tennessee over Detroit (freedom at the QB position). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
