David Long out

I expect him back next week otherwise I think they IR him and now we are on Derrick watch.  Looking like Radunz is starting at LT.  Big night for JRob he has managed to escape criticism  all seems toward Tannehill or Vrabel but we should not be scared to death of a second round pick starting in late December but I know I am!

On the NFLN pre-game show Daniel Jeremiah was going through his pre-draft scouting report on Dillon Radunz mentioned that Radunz had off the charts football intelligence.

Do they play with six OL and one less receiver

Dillon Radunz’s performance tonight is the final piece of the “Is Jon Robinson Elite?” puzzle. Bake your takes extra hawt for me. I want my tongue to blister after I take a bite out of the postgame threads.

Need to be realistic about Radunz today he probably only had 12hrs notice that he was starting probably has done very little work at LT since arriving at the Titans and will be playing his first competitive game (non preseason or exhibition) in 2yrs.

He also has been with the Titans for 8 months every other teams first and second round picks start day one but not the Titans because they draft injured guys or guys who can’t play

Common sense points to Radunz struggling tonight for all the points you just made. Prepping for guard and at last minute your playing LT against Nick Bosa. 

 

But don't worry, when he struggles we won't hear people calling him a bust or calling for Jrob drafting another bust. After all, rookies on short notice playing against Nick Bosa usually perform well.

TRIAL BY COMBAT!!!!

[rns90]

That being said, I'm not opposed to him getting the trial by fire test here today.  Like it or not Radunz will be starting somewhere next year.  And B) he can't be worse than Hart or Quess.

Yep. Him playing well goes a long way to easing some concerns going into the off-season.

Its absolute rubbish that every team "starts" their first/second round picks right away stop with that nonsense, a lot of them start as either special teamers or rotational pieces early in their careers.
