tgo Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 3 minutes ago, Titans279 said: Assuming that he's heavily weighing trading for those two seems like a massive unfounded assumption. Haha probably, but why wouldn’t he at least consider it and run scenarios at this stage? Would seem to be negligence if he wasn’t doing that or at least making inquiries. If you said we should trade semi premium capital for a safety, or guard, or even OLB/DL I’d say no way that’s dumb. But both WR and CB are positions where they can majorly improve - esp if Vrabel has trepidation about Molden’s speed and durability. As far as Ramsey, I think he’s a selfish punk from what I’ve observed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had a ton of injuries, though he was never hurt in college. But Shanahan and lynch raved about him for multiple years. There was even a point where they thought he could do similar stuff to what Deebo does. Who knows though, the kid might just be done with football.

Jamalisms Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Wilson, Stafford and Cousins are a group that shows even better QBs in that class are showing strong signs of age and wear down. It's as good an argument to move on from Tannehill as I've heard yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans279 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 I find it interesting how collaboration really ended up being the the differentiator. Carthon's people skills and ability to work together probably really set him apart. Robinson really must have become intolerable to work with I'm curious if Robinson started ignoring Vrabel's concerns about the roster or players. Really would love to know what all happened after the extension. Did making it to the AFC Championship (but losing) make him go crazy? Did the extension cause his ego to get way too big? "His background is special, but he just has tremendous people skills – you enjoy being around him. He makes an organization better because of his attributes." Lynch, whose team is preparing to face the Cowboys in the Divisional Round of the playoffs this weekend, said he talked to the Titans – and Carthon – throughout the process. Lynch said the Titans were very pointed in their questions about Carthon, especially after the initial interview. Some of it, Lynch said, centered on the dynamics of how Carthon and Vrabel would work together. Over the weekend, Lynch said 49ers CEO Jed York also talked to Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk at length about Carthon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenj Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 I'm still of the opinion that Amy Adams is a fucking boss. There are a lot of shitty owners. I think we've got a pretty damn good one. I know some didn't like her delay in handling the media after JRob, or letting Vrabel answer questions first. But I don't get the vibe the JRob thing was some angry overeaction. She seems the right amount involved -- not dictating day to day decisions or deciding draft picks, but also not so hands off that people can ignore her and their responsibilty to the franchise. She clearly wants to win a Superbowl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the committee approach to interviews was a really solid approach - Strunk + Adolpho Birch III, Ken IV, Nihil, and Werly is a pretty good group for decision making.

nine Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Everyone saw the sudden and dramatic shift in Vrabel’s demeanor after JRob was fired; I think he was just as stunned as everyone else…and not in a good way. He certainly didn’t come across like a guy who had just won a power struggle or been given a bigger voice in the team’s direction. He basically looked like a guy who had just watched his boss get the axe ….and who knows he’d better come up with a way to right the ship or he’ll be next.

Totally agree re: demeanor - and probably the distraction that it was for the team was a big challenge. But clearly there were some philosophical conflicts that were inhibiting success as well.
