Starkiller Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 They need to start Q at LT and leave the rest of the OL alone for now. No idea who they will sign for depth at this point though. Probably 1 to the roster plus 1 to the PS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saffold has played LT before albeit he's better at G. He did give up that notorious sack/fumble of Tannehill to the Jags. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliTitan3518 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Unless we are signing Glenn I say kick Kelly to LT and put Wilson in. That combo puts the best talent on the field. Regardless we are fucked and I would expect a carousel to the OL to find out what works for 2020. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetroleroTitanico Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 The injury bug is really hitting us unfortunately. I would think they’d have to make it a priority to protect Tannehill at this point. Even if it means limiting the playbook somewhat and getting extra help for the tackles.

If he can't even start this late in the season in as dire of a situation we're in - then Robinson probably had one of the worst offseasons of any Titans GM in recent memory. I think it’s safe to say that he has. Nothing from the draft class really and we jettisoned two FA acquisitions midway through the season at areas of need. Depth is a massive issue currently and the kicker situation somehow got worse than last year. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos27 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Put me down for Kelly at LT and Panda at RT. Kelly will do just as well as Ty did and I think Wilson will be a pleasant surprise. Tnasty, and tgo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I also want to see Panda at RT, but the way Vrabel is speaking about him, I don't see him playing single snap this season. But injuries are pilling up, so we can see him either because of lack of players, or if we are losing big. Either way, he's last on depth chart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeater Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Out with the sombrero, in with the Q, and panda’s one snap away. In the immortal words of Apollo Creed, “Sounds like a got dam monster movie!” Hopefully it doesn’t become a real life horror show for Tanne.

It’s not crazy. Saffold was a solid to plus starting LT for 7 years. The question is how injured he is. Just like everybody saying how Kelly can’t play LT....Kelly held up fine at LT last year. The problem is he’s hurt this year. I’m not saying you, but everybody always wants the unknowns to play. The truth is it will most likely be a debacle of epic proportions to play Ques at LT for a full same next to Brewer. I don’t have an answer though. I don’t see how we hold up at this rate. You can’t lose Lewan, Saffold, Ty, and have Kelly injured & hold up for the season. I agree with @tgo, the optimal route is Kelly at LT & Wilson at RT. Kelly has been there & done that & Wilson is an elite physical guy who was drafted in the 1strd for a reason. He’s the only 1st rounder who hasn’t played yet. Enough is enough. They’ve babysat him for 7 months now, it’s time to play him. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don’t think it would kill Vrabel to say something positive about t he kid. We get it, he fucked up. But he’s had a month of practice here, how long are you going to hide him. We’re literally running out of guys here. tgo, and Mythos27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify, a lot people don't know this, but Saffold has played less than three full seasons at left tackle in terms of games played. He has been a guard exclusively in all but 3 seasons in his long career I'm pretty sure, where he played left tackle and then right tackle due to injuries. He basically switched exclusively to guard in 2013. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) I don’t think it’s crazy to talk about moving Saffold to LT. But it isn’t really something that should be considered for now. It’s one of those emergency options. He is a far better LG than LT. And we know Brewer could fill in for him at guard. Also, I have to wonder if Brewer could play LT in a pinch. I mean, we know he played there in college some. He isn’t going to start there over Q, but if Q went down then I could see them playing Brewer at LT over some guy who isn’t even on the roster today. Either way, the team might need to give him some practice snaps there for emergency options if they haven’t already.

Brewer would be the backup emergency guy at LT for when the emergency guy goes down hah. 7th string. Edited November 23, 2020 by tgo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
