2015 Titans Achilles heel: Right Tackle

Honestly Brave, I think they HAVE to get one of these guys and slide Poutasi to Guard. They are idiots otherwise. It is a win win. Get rid of Levitre, stick Warmack and Poutasi at Guard, let the rookie C battle with Schwenke, and then you have Lwean/new RT. Line complete. We are in deep crap otherwise. Thank god it's not the blind side, but still......

 

JCBrave's achilles heal: starting bad threads.

 

Tie between RT or LG

Poutassi should not be playing tackle, but I hope he does over Bell. Byron Bell was AWFUL last year, worse than Oher. Levitre sucks, we all know that. But, I think he's finally healthy, for the first time ever in TN? Worried Mariota is going to spend alot of time running from pressure. Good thing he has some speed!

 

Am I the only one who thinks we got slower on offense this offseason?

QB speed notwithstanding, our new RT has guard feet and is probably 30lbs heavier than he should be. David Cobb has no lateral movement and isn't the fastest guy going forward. Jalston Fowler is much slower than Battle. Hakeem Nicks and Harry Douglas are probably a wash with Nate.

Should be fun watching Whiz incorporate some of Oregon's offense with slower personnel...

 

RT is most definitely our weakest spot, and I am pretty concerned about it at this point.

I really don't hold out much hope for Bell to be an upgrade over Oher (although I think Bell played LT last year, maybe he will fare better at RT)

I also don't think we can assume that Poutassi could just 'slide over to guard' and immediately take Levitre's spot. I know we all hate Levitre, but I can't just assume that a Rookie will automatically be better ... I also heard Webster on the radio the other day, and it sounded like Poutassi was going to get a shot at the RT position first.

I also don't think we will pick up anyone else in FA at this point. People keep clamoring for Barksdale, Long, etc ... but there is a reason those guys haven't been signed yet. If the FO really thought they would be an upgrade, then I think they would've already signed one of them.

Our only hope is that we see continued improvement from Lewan and Warmack, Levitre steps his game up this year , and the competition at C/RT brings the best out of both positions.

One thing I do fell a bit better about at this point is the depth of the OL though. By the end of last year we were starting guys that came straight from the street ... I think if we have injuries this year, at least we will have someone on the team to backfill ... that is a small upgrade at least.

 

Maybe we can work a deal out with the Cowboys and trade for one of their OL ... they seem to have more than enough

 

It's going to be an interesting year...

 

Not even. He wouldn't make so many then!

 

I was so pissed when they got La'el Collins. Not because I wanted him to come here, which would have been nice, but because they took my sleeper in OT Chaz Green from UF in the third. NOW HE'S NEVER GOING TO PLAY.
