We are in full rebuild mode and only have a top 10 QB and Number one rusher to fall back on so we should just blow it up. Hmmm. That doesn't remotely resemble what I said. I expressed hesitancy but a willingness to do it. Remember, we won 11 games and Henry rushed for 2,000 yards WITHOUT Lewan for the better part of the year. Might be a good idea to not take such liberty with people's ideas... BaddKarma 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want us to trade our best olineman because some people predicted we would suck this year. japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaddKarma Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Lewan way over-valued here for a few reasons... Titans offered a first to TL's deal coming off a serious leg injury? A man that big? With his history of "enhancement"? The Titans would be fools not to take the deal... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzTitan Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 I have concerns Lewan is on the down slope and it could be rapid, but really only as a gut feel sort of thing. I don't think there is a specific reason to think he won't be a top end LT this season and I don't think the likely downgrade at the position a trade would produce is a good idea.

That and this team is built to win now. Can't be waiting on a LT to develop while Henry and Tannehil are in their prime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is taking liberties with what you said. You want us to trade our best olineman because some people predicted we would suck this year. The projection was just part of the calculation-- the last part if you'll notice. You said this: "Yup, just trade everyone. We are in full rebuild mode and only have a top 10 QB and Number one rusher to fall back on so we should just blow it up." EVERYONE? That was your word choice, not mine. I never said we were in FULL REBUILD MODE; you did. You said BLOW IT UP, not me. My thought was with some regret to do the Lewan deal. It's not like we can only win with Lewan installed at LT. In fact, we won 11 games with him missing much of the season. Even without Lewan factored in, the 3 tackles likely to play this coming season seem more solid than the 3 who played for most of last season. I'm not saying Lewan is not a player. He is, but just over-valued. Getting a, PERHAPS, top ten pick from a desperate team is enticing. japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that. I said he was a player-- just over-rated. That 5-0 run was against weak teams-- with the exception of Buffalo. We BARELY won those games, remember... last minute scores as I recall on at least three of them against Denver, Minnesota, Jacksonville, and Houston. If it comforts you to broad-brush it, go ahead. I think facts matter. Winning is nice but how you win or lose is instructive. To finish your story, we went .500 after that opening run... and "that's the rest of the story."

TrueLuvYaBlue77 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 With the way the offensive line played last year without him, rotating his tackle position for what are considered veteran role players, the move was to cut him instead of several others that will inevitably cost the Titans this coming season. I love how some commented about setting up another Super Bowl run. What run? We got lucky during week 17 in 2019 without Watson and played are two best games rising to the occasion like many teams have done throughout the years as overlooked underdogs. Be that it played out, players like Casey, Ryan, Smith, Davis, Correra and Vaccaro were all major factors not on this roster today. Bongo59 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos27 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Fearing stupidity is actually a good thing and trading Lewan right now would be categorically stupid. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
