Fixing the D

Interesting read on Adams....connection with Clark who played under Lebeau...adding him with our early 1st and then a CB with the later one would do a bunch for improving the secondary

McCourty preparing to be cut

http://www.espn.com/blog/tennessee-...-say-if-this-is-the-end-with-tennessee-titans

all signs pointing to him being gone IMO
1.) no cap hit if he is cut
2.) he basically sucks now
3.) costs $7M

3 strikes and youre out, see no reason hes here past next week.

But he was a good guy you wanted to see succeed all the way to the end. Unlike some assholes (Griffin)

 

I don't think his job is safe by any means but right now he's got 1 thing in his favor to stay, vet with no vet to replace him.

JR can't just give this secondary up to a bunch of young guys that have only to this point proven they aren't very good.

 

Question, when we go Nickel, our 4 DL is Orakpo, Casey, Klug, and Morgan. If we get another interior pass rusher, which of those 4 is not gonna be rushing or not on the field? In other words, who are you going to get whos better...Allen? The difference in impact between Allen or whomever you're thinking vs the difference between a Mike Williams over a Sharpe or a Tabor over McCourty.....which is more important or gives us the most bang for our draft pick buck?

 

True...but what if we look at it this way. We can pay McCourty $7mil to be average or spend another $5mil ($12mil/yr) to get an above avg CB?

Theoretically JRob could go sign Berry at S and Johnson at CB and easily cut McCourty as we'd have 2 vets at least to hold down the fort. Add another high draft pick or 2 and our secondary could be as good as anyone's!

 

I'd absolutely be all for that move.
Not sure of the timeline though. I don't think we can sign either of those 2 until after making a decision on keeping McCourty or not. I know he would just become a FA and we'd have the opportunity to resign him but so would any other team.
I just want to see some veteran leadership out there in the secondary but don't care if it's McCourty.

 

Makes CB even more important in FA and the draft.

 

0% chance they sign Berry

 

if we got Adams id crap myself. im an LSU guy so im a huge fan of his, but I doubt we pull him, i dont think our picks line up right. If we were 8-9, id think it would be possible. I wanted Ramsey last year I think adams can be a long term playmaker in our secondary.

I dont know where JROB is at though. I mean we have a bunch of needs, and hes only drafted once for us, and that was a mess of trading picks up and down, filling needs, etc.

I wouldn't be shocked if he pulled a WR with the first pick and went secondary with the second pick.

Wouldn't be shocked if he went DB with both first rounders.

I guess free agency before the draft should tell us what hes most likely to do in the draft.

Count me on Team Adams however it shakes out though.
