I was going to post that, its not ideal but he only misses a couple a year. Hardly burks, caleb or locker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think peak byard was better but I also think both share FS as their natural position. Hooker was pushed into playing more SS becauee of this and has kinda ran with it and been damn good still. When he gets to play deep though he really shines complicating the whole thing. Mythos27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Hooker is the only one of those three I would try to resign. From a team building standpoint I don’t think it makes sense to spend on a nickel CB unless he’s a game changer which McCreary is not and Chig hasn’t really impressed me, even with his athleticism.

Better tackler by a mile, much better in space, way better in man to man coverage, and better ball skills even though KB had very good ball skills too. We really got pay dirt with these two given they were 3rd and 4th round picks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Byard was better as a pure deep roamer but wasn’t as versatile as Hooker and struggled in man coverage against certain WRs. Still a damn good player and one of my favorites from that era. Callidus, and Mythos27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvgJoe Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Hooker is the priority followed by McCreary. Chig is 50/50 pending what happens this year. Not sure pending a massive breakout you would want to give him a second contract based on one good season. But to defend Chig, he’s had Todd Downing and Tim Kelly as an OC and his QB was a mixture of Levis and Rudolph last year IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a damn good player and one of my favorites from that era. I think he read the game much better than Hooker. Hooker plays more off of instincts from what I gather but he's super instinctive an sudden. KB will go down as a Titan great and as I said before, Hooker has not eclipsed him from a career standpoint yet. KB also did things the right way as a teammate/leader/member of the community for a long team. Nothing but respect for that guy. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OILERMAN Posted August 27 Author Report Share Posted August 27 I wonder if the Titans believe David Martin-Robinson is a legit replacement for Chig next year. Athletically he's the same kind of TE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
