Bongo59 Posted July 18, 2024 Report Share Posted July 18, 2024 These concerns are ridiculous. SWEAT played more than any other DT in college and was dominant. His teammate went in one and Sweat is a better player. Cookie, and No1TitansFan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if we played Sweat on 1st and 3rd downs rather than 1st and second? This way we can take advantage of his run stopping ability on 1st, then he gets a blow, then he comes back on the field pretty fresh to take advantage of his pass rushing ability on third. Obviously if second looks like a passing down you keep him in then and possibly take him off on 3rd. Highly unlikely and I'm not sure if any player has ever been used like this but just a thought that popped into my head. Could be a creative way to maximize this player's skill set at least until he gets in good enough shape to play all 3 downs. The way the NFL works now, you get your best rushers in on 3rd down. So you kick one of the base EDGE or DE's in. That would be more of a concern than the snaps total which will be limited anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My scenario is assuming they feel he's one of the best pass rushers and provides that crucial interior push on 3rd down. When he's fresh he completely collapses the pocket. For me, Sweat succeeding, at least initially, is about maximizing the snaps that we can get out of him rather than the gross number of snaps. It might be helpful to employ creative thinking.

Sweat is not going to be in on every 3rd down, but he’s going to rotate in and out. They aren’t automatically taking him off the field as if he’s just some run stuffing NT.

Callidus Posted July 19, 2024 Report Share Posted July 19, 2024 (edited) Idk if anyone else posted it but I just saw Mike Keith said the Titans are only going to wear the oilers throwbacks once this year. Week 18 vs the Texans. Edited July 19, 2024 by Callidus OILERMAN, and Supernope 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think there's a point though that they will want him in some pass rushing packages. We lost Autry. Key can move inside sometimes. Are we going to play Sebastian-Day over Sweat? I doubt that's the plan. He wasn't drafted as a 2 down run stuffer like Irish said. We literally turned down a 2nd rounder and extra pick for the kid.
