Nash Posted Tuesday at 11:56 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:56 AM In the TK system, NWI could be a small tight end , he blocks some, he catches the ball , and he has reasonable speed for that spot.. depends on the matchup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingTitanFan Posted Tuesday at 12:38 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:38 PM I was glad when we signed him back. I always thought he played at 100% and gave everything he had, he was just too limited physically to be a true 1 or 2 WR. Rotating him around the field, he gives you a good set of hands that the defense isn't paying close attention to. I think I'm a little shocked how much he is seeing the field, but nothing else that he has done has been a surprise for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongo59 Posted Tuesday at 01:21 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 01:21 PM NWI knows the offense well and he is durable. DHop and Burks are not 100% healthy. So TN is relying on the guy who can move the sticks. I also think not playing starters in TC is a PROBLEM. They need the snaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudsOilers Posted Tuesday at 02:25 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 02:25 PM As a 3 or 4, he is fine. He's just not a 1 or a 2 and there's nothing wrong with that. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bongo59 Posted Tuesday at 02:26 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 02:26 PM He is more than fine. In the redzone he has always made plays. He is solid on third downs too. freakingeek 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not flashy, just a lunch pail guy, but makes catches. No question. It’s pretty obvious he was injured last year because he looks like a different guy this year. I think he’s faster than fans realize, he has “sneaky speed”, and a nice large catch radius. I also like Chris Moore, who has real burst. Hopefully Kyle Phillips will stay healthy when he comes back to. For as bad as the OL was last year, I thought the WR’s were just as bad. When Burks was out RT just had nobody who could get open & it exasperated an already bad OL. Basically the OL & WR’s were bad, but together they made each other worse. It’s nice seeing a functional passing game this year….. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanPoke Posted Thursday at 12:17 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:17 AM My biggest gripe with him is that when Tannehill tries to force him the ball he never comes back to it. Otherwise he's been an excellent addition for a guy who went undrafted. He is fine depth but we are in trouble if he has to be a 1 or 2 which in all likelihood, will probably happen at some point this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted Thursday at 12:33 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:33 AM He's a good #3. I'll never understand why people complain about him. It's not his fault the Titans have asked him to play above his talent level. If you man him up against a #1 CB, yea, he's gonna get taken to task but in the right situation the guy has been a solid weapon for them. He's on pace for 680 yards on the year. In this offense, I'll take that all day from a #3 or #4 WR. IsntLifeFunny, and Mythos27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clowned on that idea pretty hard and probably said some not so nice things knowing myself but NWI is a true Titan that has been available and dependable in an era where most of the players we praise have been unreliable for various reasons. That means something to me. I'm big on NWI and think he's great for his current role. Justafan, and freakingeek 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
