And they didn’t like him as much as we thought they did, but more than Spain. I’m not sure why you’re dying on this hill. Obviously the FO didn’t like either of them. japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This had to be why Kline refused the pay cut. I'd guess it was a large pay cut and his spot on the roster wasn't even safe. tgo, AussieTitanFan08, titanruss, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) It’s interesting that he mentions Pamphile first as a RG option. He started two years at LG with the Bucs. It would be literally like having 4 OTs and a center playing on the line haha. No player below 6’5 310 except Jones. But of course I expect them to draft someone to play there (eventual starter) unless it is a pure center like Bradbury.

Nash Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Who might be the swing guard?? Assuming we draft a center, Grasso might very well be the backup center, or even start until the new guy is ready.. that leaves Jones, Pamphile, Levin, and Stinnie competing for the starting Right guard and backup /swing guard position .. Pamphile has an injury history. Working against him and experience and versatility working for him.. Jones has experience, and versatility , but I’m waiting to see how he plays at the rg spot.. and Levin played center much better than guard last season as I recall.. so the focus should be on Jones and Stinnie . Stinnie was a tackle in college, undrafted, and now becoming a guard.. his progress will likely determine what happens there..all the way from starting or being cut depending on his performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomachek Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I'm interested in what they are going to do with Dennis Kelly, he's clearly deserving of a starting position. However, is he too big to start at guard or do we move Conklin to RG (even though it's been stated he's our RT by JRob)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Several things seem certain, there will be a pocket to throw from, the oline will be much better at blocking the outside zone which is Henry’s strength, we will see more screens for Lewis.. all of which means that we spread the field by threatening to run or screen outside, and counter that with inside receivers like Humphries, Walker, and Smith.... we still need an inline te . And it will be interesting to see if Pruitt cAn be a backup for that spot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I’ve not been a proponent of drafting IOL at 19. However, after the Saffold signing... I can envision a scenario where JR swings for the fences and goes all in on a truly dominant O-line for the next 4-5 years. Drafting an OG at 19 or 51 would likely do just that.

TitanRein27 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I think it's fair to say for every thumbs-UP about releasing Kline before the great Saffold upgrade to fill that other spot, we'll simply call the entire group including (Mr. $Lewan$) as underachieving one-hit-wonders. Just for the sake of consistently berrading Titans players who've always played to that very word. I wanna be like Tom Brady and that cool kid coaching the team from LA with the swirly-thing on their helmets, too. Hey, how's that Levitre guy doing??? At least LeFleur did a hell've lot more offensively than Robiskie and that Mularkey guy. Go Jonitans! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get a 2 or 3 for Conklin you do it and start Kelly at RT and have Pamphile as swing OT. RT in this scheme is friendly. You can find a solid starter in FA or draft. We could even draft his replacement to compete in 2 or 3 this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle021 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Conklin is the kindve upcoming FA we can tag and get a 2 from or let go in FA and get a comp 3rd for. Look at what Trent Brown got in FA. Conklin blows Brown away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
