Whiz on the Radio

Maybe try actually reading next time. Where did I say they were "downgrades"? All I said is they are both old AF and Gore in particular has a ton of mileage on those tires. Skill position players can drop off in a hurry the more they get into their 30's and these guys aren't immune to that.

Never said they won't have an impact. But I think a lot of people are overestimating the impact two over-the-hill skill position players are going to have on that team.

 

Like I said though, if that ends up being the case then he is only sealing his fate. So oh well, won't miss him. I think he now realizes he has to bend and adapt if he wants to keep being a HC in this league. I guess we'll find out soon enough though.

 

Gore is washed up imo. I'm less scared of him than Donald Brown-- who always plays like a top 5 back against the Titans only.

 

Just found out that Whiz is 3-25 over his last 28 games. How is this guy still a head coach? lol

If he sucks next year, I wonder if he gets canned? I'd assume we'd atleast give him 2 years with Mariota?

 

Webster and Whiz are both on a thread. I say they are both gone unless we have 6 wins.

 

My top concern right now is depending on a 3rd round pick to start at RT. If we sign Barksdale (which would be great) we would then need him to beat out Levitre. I would love to have our top 3 picks, well 4 if we include Fowler at FB, as day 1 starters.

DL should be fine. Having everyone back healthy, Jones moving over to NT and a healthy Brown and addition of Orakpo should actually help their production. Issue here is, outside of Casey, everyone is just about the same imo as in easy replaceable.

CB depth is either going to be fine or absolutely kill us. One of the younger guys has to make strides this Summer and Fall in camp or we're toast if Cox or J-Mac goes gown.

Playoffs will all be on Mariota. If the playbook fits his style, he plays like he's hyped up to be, the run game gets going, and we did enough on defense then sure we could sneak in. However, that's alot and ifs and buts. I'll be thrilled with an 8-8 season but totally ready for 6-10.

 

I mocked Dorsett to them in the mock we all did because of TY Hilton, he's an intricate part of what they do, he is in the final year of his contract, he is going to want to be paid, Indy is tight against the cap as is and Andrew Luck is due a monster contract after next year. Personally I dont think Hilton is in their future..

Luck doesn't need a top O-Line, he does fine with the crap he has, he's mobile and shakes people off, but he needs weapons to throw to...

 

Pretty much exactly how I feel. I'm still slightly worried about DL. We really didn't have a ton of injuries on the DL, besides Pito who was banged up. We had the 31st ranked run D and only added a 4th rounder to help out? I'd be surprised if he even made the rotation. Hopefully LeBeau can work his magic here and get Casey to the next level. Adding Orakpo should help too.

 

Agreed, my mention of injuries on the DL was towards Pito. I thought SLH might have had something too but could've been minor. We're really, really depending on Lebeau and a healthy Brown to improve basically the worst run defense. The Titans must have a lot of faith because we had plenty of opportunities to upgrade in this area.
