We lose virtually nothing as the starter while we groom the new QB for a year. Interesting idea but it feels like a reach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may but I hope not. If Henry has that much production it likely means we sucked through air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could get 1500 yards and only average 20 carries a game, that would only help the passing game. Edited March 16, 2019 by Huston Mythos27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't bet on that. Mariota's best year so far was with Murray winning the AFC rushing title with close to 1300 yds.

Titans279 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 IDK if this was posted, Saffold was on The Ringers list of top ten offensive FA's this year. Our deal (four-year, $44 million deal with $22.5 million guaranteed) was a little off what they listed. At this point it's not really new info but it's a good summary. Quote Rodger Saffold, G Why He’s a Free Agent: The megadeals for Aaron Donald and Todd Gurley have kicked in for the Rams. With less than $30 million in cap space and several holes that need to be addressed, GM Les Snead may think it’s unwise to spend upward of $10 million per year on a soon-to-be 31-year-old guard. But Saffold’s age and the Rams’ significant financial investments elsewhere are the only two reasons they’d let him walk. He’s been excellent in Sean McVay’s offense over the past two seasons, and he’ll provide any team that lands him with a standout up front. His Potential Market Value: Three years, $33 million ($20 million guaranteed) At his age, Saffold probably won’t command a deal with much guaranteed money after Year 2. Yet the going price for top guards in free agency is trending north of $11 million per season. His production fits that bill. Potential Landing Spots: Giants, Jets, Texans, Broncos, Bills, Vikings Several of the teams looking for tackle help could also use a boost at guard. Houston is better off at its interior line spots than it is at tackle, but Saffold would represent a significant upgrade. Another team that could give him a long look is the Vikings, who struggled inside last season. Minnesota has a limited amount of cap space, but teams have done more with less in the past. Trading cornerback Trae Waynes would free up more than $9 million and provide Minnesota with some wiggle room to make a move. https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2019/3/8/18253989/free-agency-top-10-offensive-players-nick-foles-leveon-bell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, not necessarily. Are you one who prefers a 350+ yard/1 or 2 td kinda guy or a 200-250 yard/3-4 td kinda guy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the latter but over the last few seasons in TEN a RB getting enough touches to put up big numbers has led to too few passing attempts and production. If Henry can be as efficient as @Huston proposes and put up 1500 while averaging 20 attempts per game then sign me up. As always Mariota is the key here.

headhunter Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I think this is the biggest upgrade so far into the season. We need another guard but we can turn this weakness into a strength shortly. titanskick8851, and titanruss 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marginal improvement is greater than trying to turn a strength into something stronger. One of the reasons that I think JRob goes IOL in the 1st. RG is currently the biggest weakness on the team. That was evident by JRob cutting a guy who had part of his base salary guaranteed. Now they have no one of consequence.

Titans279 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hard to believe any serious football mind would say Spain and Saffold were similar players. Blake's media "career" has done a lot to illuminate why we were so bad for so long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 2 hours ago, Soxcat said: He probably meant we won't see a huge difference overall and he might be right. Saffold is a better run blocker. They are closer to the same as pass protectors (Spain actually graded out better). The best thing is Saffold will probably not make as many mistakes. We’ll see a big difference for sure. They didn’t sign him to to an 11M APY contract to not see a huge difference. Unless of course you just think Robinson is patently stupid.
