    Verner is a Playmaker but not an all around CB so McCourty should start.

    I want to see Dwill,Hawk and Mariani get more snaps(Gage sucks Nate drops the ball).

    I don't care who starts but Cook should get lots of snaps at TE or WR.

    Our defensive Line and LB's look pretty weak in my opinion.But I hope to see us blitz more and play more man to man with our corners.

    And whoever the QB is not gonna last without CJ he will get kill so Rusty for QB woot!!!!!

    That's not just how we have done it in the past, but it's going to be something we do this season. We have a lot of players signed on the defensive line and it's vital that we keep fresh guys in there to constantly get pressure. And saying it didn't work last year is hardly true. We had many injuries (Morgan, Ball, Ford, Marks) that cut down on the rotation and that's what we rely on. Can't say something isn't working when you don't have half of your personnel due to injury.

    Titans depth chart is available now so why guess. Who has 2 rookies starting at DT? Brain dead?

    http://www.titansonline.com/team/depth-chart.html


    Has Mcourty starting outside with Verner as the third CB. Starting DTs are Marks and Smith. Clayton will be on the practice squad it is all but guaranteed.

    This has Ayers starting with Shaw as his primary backup and and Mcgrath backing up Spoon on the weak side.

    Should be more solid against the run with less confusion in coverage.

    People always make fun of Marks, but his stats weren't awful last season. He certainly has room for improvement though. Last season in only 3 starts, Marks got 50 tackles, 6 QBP's, 5 TFL, 1 INT, 3 PD and 1 FF.

    Compared to Jovan Haye, Marks looks a lot better as a starter. But I would probably guess that Jurrell Casey will lock up a starting DT spot from what I am hearing about him. We may have got a steal in the 3rd round there.

    No doubt J-Case was a steal, but i'm on the Malcolm Sheppard bandwagon,look for him to emerge along w/Casey as a young disruptive DT tandem,Titans won't be as bad as people perdict , Sheppard was a steal also ,Locker is the future but he wont be needed this year.
