JCBRAVE Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 The messurables are impressive, but we need professionals, not kids who act out. He is however changing his tune which is good to hear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanruss Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 the titans dont draft these kind of players anymore. we draft model citizens and will continue to do so until we have a very strong locker room with great leadership that can deal with one or two idiots... or until we get a new FO/coaching staff.

FightinTitan Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Most of the people I've spoken with regarding his stay at TTU have said he was still a living, breathing shit stain. No thank you. I know a few of the players there and you are wrong about that. He is never going to be confused as Johnny College or Mr Congenial, but he was far from being a problem at tech last year.

Legaltitan Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 There were zero games where all three were together. That is kind of what I thought but didn't want to go out on a limb like that without doing the research. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legaltitan Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 The Vawls were such an absolute dumpster fire the last couple of years it is difficult to say anything definitive about any one player. It sure was fun to watch, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1TitansFan Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I wonder if the Titans talked to him at the combine; he indicated that he had to go through some tough interviews and that he tried to take everything head on. He'd be much less of a risk at our 3rd or 3rd compensatory pick than Patterson or Austin with no. 10 with a similar potential. Having said that, I think it's more likely they go with Patton if he's available at the right pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshimitsu Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 He had issues with going to class. Professors and staff complained a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercalius Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 http://www.knoxnews.com/videos/detail/darick-rogers-on-uts-pro-day/ He says in the linked video: "Leaving TN was a wake up call. I had to go to TN Tech and I was humbled. Being there with guys that would've killed to go to UT, that humbled me." They're just words, but they're absolutely perfect words for a guy in his situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercalius Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 And for what it's worth - I'm extremely skeptical of guys with the amount of red-flags he has. I tend to bring up those questions around draft time, like with Mallett and recently Bray, wondering the tradeoff on talent vs risk. 95 times out of 100, I'd tend to opt for the safer route. In this situation though, I do think he's worth the risk. He's amazingly talented, and could be an absolute steal if he's truly put his past behind him.

rugbyflank Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Most of the people I've spoken with regarding his stay at TTU have said he was still a living, breathing shit stain. No thank you. I live in Cookeville, TTU alumni and actively involved with TTU Football, and I find this to be nonsense. He might have been treated a little different b/c of who he was and what he had already accomplished by coming to a small school as TTU, but he was never a problem for the coaches and was a good teammate.

FightinTitan Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Rugby, as I stated, I have 4 people on that team that I know personally as well as the head coach. As you stated, he was a very good and humble team mate. He attnded class enough to keep the coaches off of hs back during football season. He was one and done at Tech from day one and the coaches knew it too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 The questions going forward are what is he going to do with a few hundred Ks in his bank account and why would you want to risk it? Pass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
