I don’t like to criticize what players teams use because I don’t see practices but according to PFF Hooker was the 2nd best slot they’ve graded in the 6 years they’ve been doing college. He finished exactly .01 behind Minkah Fitzpatrick in the ratings. He really wasn’t a safety despite being listed there, at least in passing downs. He was strictly a slot corner on passing downs & an excellent one. We’re in real bad injury shape this week. It looks like at best only 1 of our top 4 WR/corners will play. Its ridiculous to stash Hooker as the 3rd safety while they have Chris Jackson, who wasn’t a pimple on Hookers ass in college, as the nickel. I know the board is high on him & Jerry Juedy is a real tough draw, but he was in way over his head. Hooker played in Dime packages last year & covered pretty well. He’s a much, much better cover player then Jackson right now. Im actually very confident in Fulton on the outside & I’m excited to see him play. I think the best trio would be him & either Joseph or Tye Smith on the outside. I’ve always been a Tye Smith guy & JJ, despite his seemingly low popularity around here, and he did drop off a lot last year, played at a very high level as recently as 2018. its like Kalan Reed, the titans coaches just don’t want to unleash the secret nickel weapon, not until they are down to their last option! japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a solid coverage grade on PFF. Didn’t play great in the playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed was a small school kid with great traits who was the last pick in the draft. Hooker was a celebrated college player on an Iowa team that perennially has great secondaries & it was shock he was there in the 4th rd. Im not saying the kids the answer or anything but he was an excellent cover guy in the slot & safety in college with great instincts, and we traded up to get him. When healthy IMO the slot & SS are our problem areas in coverage. With the injuries at outside corner on top of this Id feel way better with him at the slot then Chris Jackson this week.

Fulton really excelled in zone in college, Hes excellent playing the ball. He’s obviously known for being a great press man guy but he also really does a great job breaking on the ball & defending it. There was some stat that he batted away an insane % of very accurate throws, which is a good sign for pro translation. I’m just not a fan at all of him in the slot & hated the idea from the get. To me he’s the quintessential strong, fast outside corner. I agree BTW, about playing a lot of zone. Especially if VB and/or Roberson play. Clowney is at his best rushing inside. I’d love to see him & Simmons inside playing a lot of Seattle or Tampa 2 type stuff this week..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the plan for Fulton this year is to rotate as much as possible, with him taking over for Butler next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

About to cripple the teams season before it even began Maker, I want to congratulate you for the consistency of your messages. There are very few if any posters besides you who display the kind of messages that you show, and we all know the value you bring to the board. You show exemplary negativity to the hopes of success by TR posters. It will be a pleasure to await your future musings on the travesty that we and you call the Titans.

Ramsey will shutdown CD and I think Yannick and Campbell will slowdown Henry. Pair that with a solid game from Fournette and the Jags may make this a respectable game.
