Bongo59 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I think we are fine at OL. We have the depth in place and have a ton of money to get a vet if we want it. I think LB is the target at 69 because of Saleh's D needs. Grey is fine but Barton is not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legaltitan Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Plaxico Burress was a highly touted, elite wide receiver prospect in the 2000 NFL Draft, selected 8th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers out of Michigan State. Standing 6'5"–6'6" and weighing 230+ lbs, he was praised for his immense size, long arms, and ability to make contested catches, functioning as a "tight end" sized playmaker. Wikipedia +4 Draft Profile and Scouting Report Measurables: 6'5"–6'6" (98th percentile), 230–231 lbs (97th percentile). Strengths: Exceptional height and catch radius allowed him to dominate defensive backs, especially on deep balls and inside routes. He was described as a competitive, athletic receiver with great blocking ability. Weaknesses: Entered the draft with only two years of major college experience. Draft reports noted a need for refinement in route running, and he faced some questions regarding maturity, clashes with coaches, and missed workouts at Michigan State.

OnsideKick Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I'm going to back the selections by Borgonzi and his evaluators. Better than the JRob injury special or whatever Carthon was doing. Both players dealt with some personal tragedy and came out the other side intact. Not sure if Saleh wasn't sold on Reese/Styles and/or Daboll and Ward won out and got who they wanted. Trading up will always cost you something but the extra contract year should work well with Faulk's youth. Still some holes to fill so we'll see who comes in tonight and tomorrow.

The only similarity is high pointing. Just because I'm bored I went and checked out college tape of Burress. First two catches were balls he let get right into his chest. Juxtapose that to watching 160 targets for Tate and didn't see that a single time lol. Burress had bad hands. Tate is the opposite. Basically polar opposite mindsets and players. I've seen worse comparisons from Bongo though...at least they have one thing in common! Callidus 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burress had drop problems - Tate's best quality is his surehandedness Burress had attitude and work ethic issues - Tate is the opposite. Burress a poor route runner in college - Tate's next best quality is his route running. begooode, NashvilleNinja, Pragidealist, and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Just finding out Tate lost his mom to a drive by...damn. Welp, after watching his tape and hearing about that he's become my favorite Titan. Fully on board. Go become a HOfer, kid. Legaltitan, NashvilleNinja, Callidus, and 1 other 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to be the case or the team is not being run well. If you grade a WR as being worth the 4th pick, which they did, there is no RB valued higher no matter how good he.

Tate’s on-field game is polished perfection compared to Burress as a prospect. And you’re also correct about character concerns coming out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite his questionable hands Burress showed flashes of being a quality WR. The Steelers are tradionally very good at drafting. But as I remember it was the character and wortk ethic, more than anything, that sealed his fate. Didn't the retard shoot himself in the foot (literally) or am I confusing him with someone else.

The way they whined and cried about Carthon's firing, the constant bitching about how Callahan needed to be fired and then acting flabbergasted when he was, the bitching like petulant children because AAS wouldn't present herself to them as a punching bag, and the absolute dribble-from-chin display of cuckery when Vrabel came to town for the game this year. And that one is especially cringe given everything that's come out the last few weeks. How many hand jobs did Buck sneak in while he was here? It just keeps going and going and going. Idk what other fan bases have to deal with. Maybe it's the same all over. God help. titanskick8851, TheBisco, Justafan, and 3 others 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
