    I've heard rumors lately that if the Titans trade back for multiple 1st rounders that maybe we would pull the trigger on Gurley or Gordon with a high pick but that seems to be a tough pill to swallow just a year after spending a 2nd on Sankey. I was unable to watch any games last season (out of the country) but I know our O-line was decimated by injuries and Sankey wasn't very productive. Was he really that bad or do you think it was the patchwork O-line that could be blamed?

    Sankey can be great if he's got room to work. First half the year he was good, by the second half we sustained just too many injuries for a guy like him to succeed.

    I'm fully behind Sankey, good player.

    I'm not convinced he'll ever be "great". I'm sure he can be plenty serviceable with good blocking though.

    I really doubt he's our starter in 2016.

    Our OL sucked. Sankey was covered up quickly when he got the ball. He will have a good future here if we can create at minimum "middle of the pack" OL and a passing game worth a flip. Mett will do better this year in that area, Again, OL needed for that as well.

    OL sucked big time for sure. However Sankey showed very little to make me believe he is special in anyway. I think he's probably gonna be one of those guys who is only as good as his OL. And those guys are a dime a dozen.
