    Yeah but penalties don't get your QB injured ;)

    Its like choosing between a kick in the balls or a slap in the face.

    Better not to have either.

    Lewan isn't Michael Roos, but he seems better than most other LT's that I watch.

    Well, if forced I'd take the slap... I think we have had below average coaching of the OL since we drafted Lewan. I would like to see how a better coach could help him improve. I am more than willing to see that happen at RT though.

    OL problem..as with several other positions...is we have drafted either projects or guys that are "just happy" to be pros. I.E. they really don't care about winning and what it takes....just getting paid and living the lifestyle. STOP drafting projects...draft FOOTBALL players...and if they haven't shown that "it" factor by the time college is finished they don't have it.

    People here are so down on the Titans that they rip apart everything without really looking at the overall nature of the game. Good pass rushers are going to win matchups. Good receivers are going to get catches on good coverage. People are going make people miss. Etc, etc, etc.

    I can't see where all of our early picks and free agent signings are all bad. When we had a better Oline IMO it came from the coaches we had.
    If we get better coaching on the oline maybe the line would show a better result than what we are seeing now IMO.

    I dunno, I really feel like Schwenke isn't all that bad. He does get overwhelmed from time to time with huge nose tackles, but all in all I really think he's a good player. I mean when you compare him to Fat Chance, Bell, Pusstosai, hell anyone other than Lewan he's hardly what I would call "a problem". I just hope he comes back strong from the injury; I believe he will.

    Whether or not you feel Schwenke is starter material, he's still good enough to be on this team, as a backup at worst or swing man who can be plugged into center or guard.

    I just don't get all the hate on Schwenke, when you consider the rest of the O-line, I feel all this hate is a bit misplaced.
