AvgJoe Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I refrained from posting last night to compose my thoughts. All I will say in regards to the game is I am very proud of the team and believe our window is open. We went conservative and got our asses kicked, hopefully this sticks with Vrabel for some time and he adapts. We shall see. Here is how I believe we move forward: 1) Resign Tannehill. He’s a great QB who has made the throws. The team has to use him more going forward. 2) Resign Henry. For obvious reasons. He’s the perfect complement to Tannehill. 3) Let Logan Ryan walk. You can’t pay a slot corner what he will make and he was exposed a lot with Butler out. Hooker will improve and can play that role or you can look for another in FA or Draft. 4) Let Conklin walk. He can be replaced in FA or the Draft. He’s a mediocre player and doesn’t deserve the money he will get. 5) Defense, Defense, Defense. I am perfectly fine with every single FA dollar we spend and draft pick being spent to make the D better (outside of a backup for Henry and a RT obviously). Robinson has shown the ability to move up and get a player if he wants them, if it gets past pick 16 and a defensive playmaker is there, go get them. We need help on the Edge and CB badly. 6) I’m not sure if he hits FA, but we need to be parked outside of Matthew Judon’s house this offseason. He would be a huge addition. I also would not be surprised to see us go after Clowney if he is free. 7) I would not be at all surprised to see us trade Corey Davis and draft a replacement. An ideal scenario would be a team looking for a WR that could offer either an Edge or CB via trade. Either way, Davis was a bad pick and has not adapted to the NFL game. He can’t separate and he doesn’t fight for the ball. Lastly, we have plenty of cap space to add to this team and we need to defensively. This will be the biggest offseason of Robinson’s career. Handle that and make the adjustments (coaching adjustments as well) and we will be back with a SB chance next year. freakingeek 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans will returm Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 This notion that Hooker can come down and play NB vs 3 WR sets is poor. He has played our 3 S look as the deep S all year- I would feel fairly confident with him matched up with RBs and most TE’s not named Kelce,Kittle,Ertz etc- but to think he can come down and guard WRs play in and out is ridiculous. This team absolutely needs a CB that can match up with other teams WR1’s- we don’t have that. Butler isn’t that. Adoree has been good but he also isn’t that. An elite pass rush would cure all.

INTitan Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 The team doesn’t have “plenty of cap space” For FA additions IF - they pay RT $25-30MM -they pay DH $13-15MM -they resign/restructure/extend several of the young contributors and role players ie Adoree, Jayon, guys like Firkser -they hold back a manageable amount for future years, as they have done in the past they will claw some back with releases of Lewis, Wake, Succop and Delanie. Perhaps the most interesting decisions are whether they release Butler or Casey so they can be players in the FA market, going after younger/better replacements. A lot of cap space to claw back with those releases. *assuming Spotrac.com is accurate SleepingTitan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Casey and he played at a high level for 2 of the 3 playoff games but.... he is 30 yo, with some mounting njury history and the release saves $10MM. It would be a Patriots type move for JRob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudsOilers Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I love how this team has been labeled as great without winning anything. The Titans had a good year. They absolutely had a chance to win the whole thing this year based upon the other teams left in the final four but great gets thrown around here way too often. It will be a challenge just to get back to where they were yesterday. They need to improve in a number of areas in order to do that. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanPoke Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Going to be difficult. We aren't the underdogs now. We will have high expectations next season. Going to be difficult to exceed those expectations, and a losing season could put Vrabel on the hot seat. Need to win the division next year. No question about it.

I'd argue Butler, Jackson, and a new NB are fine if the team fixes the pass rush. No one is guarding the WRs of the Chiefs when Mahomes has all day to throw. Upgrading the pass rush should be the focus this offseason. Starkiller, and AvgJoe 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad you got the point I was making unlike some others here. Spend Logan Ryan’s money on a man Edge/Rusher and add a cheaper NB if not Hooker. We have to be able to hit QB’s.

To me making the AFC Championship moved this team from Good to Great. It’s not barely limping into the playoffs and getting knocked out. They defeated NE in Foxborough and the #1 seeded Ravens in Baltimore. That’s great. Now, how do they become champions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great is not a single season thing. As of right now the team is a cinderella story. Greatness means sustained success over multiple seasons.

Righteous Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Henry can’t possibly continue to put up outlandish numbers. And Tannehill can’t carry this team if he doesn’t. If Henry doesn’t put up huge numbers, we lose. It’s that simple. He is not worth a huge contract. Former_Fan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Jags say hello. They got to same spot as us and then fell completely apart and they had what was a way more dominant defense. We could easily follow their route, not saying we will because I believe Jrob won’t allow it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
