    To me guys like Verner fit into any scheme, heads up plays is the name of the game, and thats whats earned Verners his name. Usually being crafty beats being faster than your opponent.

    Ill agree with you thinking hes gone next year tho. I think too many people including GMs put too much stock in size and speed.

    The things you cant see win you games, just ask anyome who said we wouldnt miss Cortland Finnegan last year.

    I hear ya...I wasn't one of the supporters. I knew the dude didn't have it in him the first time I saw him play, but we just kept on trying now didn't we?

    It never hurts. Verner loses a few snaps. Oh well.

    The upside of him actually progressing would have been immense tho.

    Campbell can play, he's just not Verner.

    He'll get his time in games to show what he can do.

    He has moments. Hopefully he makes a few splashes when he gets his chances considering machups

    idk why anyone ever got gassed up on him in the first place. What is he, 7th round pick? And the Colts loss against the winless team two years ago...the one some of you are so fond of blaming on Munch...didn't Campbell have something to the tune of 3 personal fouls in that game on consecutive special teams plays? Dude has never done a damn thing for me. He's tall, fast, and sucks at football.

    No brainer, Verner is so much better than Campbell.

    If our depth was better at CB, Campbell would have been cut.

    I'm glad the Titans coaching staff figured it out, and got it right.

    Verner is a solid CB, and will be serviceable on the outside this year. We will most likely target a true #1 CB either in FA or draft next year, then we can either move verner inside, or let him walk ... but D was not really the focus this offseason, so we just have to deal with what we have for now. We won't be an elite D, but if we can make enough plays then our O should be good enough to win us some games IMO.
