Jones Not Trying to Replace Haynesworth

Good to know. 15 more pounds to disrupt opposing O lines with. Hopefully that won't come at a cost of some of his speed and shiftiness.
I doubt he'll lose any speed. Can't wait to see what he does this season.

This tells me that Cecil may have Washburn switch players around whereever. I bet we see more of KVB lined up at DT, switched around with JJ who would be lined up at DE. I could also see them lining up in a 3-4 'look' with KVB playing out like a pass-rushing LB.
I think Cecil will have this defense a lot more versatile than Schwartz did.

 

What would be the purpose of that? That would make no sense at all.

 

It's also contradictory to one of the reports in the Tennessean last week that Washburn said that his tackles would be tackles, and his ends would be ends. He implied that there will be LESS position shifting, not more.

 

i really, really like jason jones! no, he is not gonna replace al, even if he really wanted to, but this guy has great work ethic and a motor that just won't quit! i love his passion and his attitude, it was very reflective in his play last year, the sky is the limit for jason!!!!!

 

Did you even watch a game last season? Multiple times I saw KVB and Al swapped. Al was playing end and KVB was playing tackle.]

The purpose? You really can't see it?
Here...
1. to confuse the offense. same reason the O lines up in different formations. I guess by your logic, the slot WR should never, ever be lined up anywhere but the slot?
2. to create mismatches. the smaller end might have a time with the C and OT, but the DT lined up on the smaller OG, especially if he's quick would give the OG a hard time.
3. in case you forgot, KVB is only an inch shorter and actually about 5 lbs heavier than our current DT, Jason Jones.
4. I shudder to think that you think that KVB has absolutely no idea how to play tackle, and that Jones has no idea how to play end.
It's not something you would want to do every play (much like blitzes), but it's good to give them a different look every now and then.

I'm chalking that up to erroneous/contradictions by the media, or Fisherspeak.
So I guess he made that decision in the off season, because like I mention above, Al and KVB were lined up juxtaposed on more than one occasion.

 

Jones is his own player. Not til two years ago did Haynesworth show up. I was expecting much more from Haynesworth four, five, and six years ago. Sad he developed with us only to bounce for the first offer over ours. On the other hand look what Jason Jones did in a few games. I'm excited about this guy.

 

for same reason we've been going it the last two years when haynesworth was lined up at right end and KVB at DT?

 

Sure Al and KVB were lined up juxtaposed. The work means side by side which I believe happened very in the past.

In reference to lining up AH on the end the strategy wasn't to do that to get KVB on an OG as much as it allows the Titans to use KVB on a stunt or to have AH collapse the pocket from the outside. Either way the startegy wasn't and won't be the same if they did it with JJ and KVB.

 

needs to watch more titan games
