Who should AFC South teams want to win on Sunday?

a receiver-driven team can not only function but succeed in the NFL. That may be akin to making the Titans swallow their medicine, but for a team that may be an explosive receiver away from having a dangerous offense, the message is one that needs to echo through team headquarters.

wurd

 

The only AFC team I will ever root for in the SB is the Titans. So, Go Cardinals!

The fact that R. Hill and L. Thompson stayed on the field as much as they did tells me that the Titans will do none of the following:
-draft a WR in the 1st round (maybe not even in the 2nd)
-snag (specifically overpay) and sign a WR from FA
I wouldn't even be surprised if JMac was still on the roster come training camp.
Fish is probably still convinced that a solid run game and lights out defense will take us all the way. I see them drafting a WR in the later rounds, then continue to groom and develop Gage, Jones and Hawk and let any rookie WR learn under them.
I would love to have Housh on the team for a year or two. He'd be like another Moulds per se, but would be more effective.

 

How the heck does Hill and Thompson staying on the field too long say anything about what the Titans will do in the draft or FA concerning a WR?

If anything Hill and Thompson are the reason the Titans have focused more on building the defense over the last few years at the cost of WR. We drafted Griffin to play CB or S didn't we (could have had Bowe)? We also signed Harper a couple of years ago and if Pacman didn't have his head up his arse he would have been a high draft pick playing CB right now. Hard to argue with the success so far IMO. The Titans also drafted a playmaking RB and I'm not sure how anyone could have any complaints with that. Defense and running game were the emphasis obviously.

However, now that the defense has been addressed (because of Pacman having his head up his arse we still need a young CB) and we have CJ you likely will see WR get some added attention. Remember, we did use a 3rd and 4th round pick on WRs just a couple of years ago. We used another 4th rounder last year (used a 3rd rounder on a TE). Unfortunately the picks haven't worked out real well so far although I think Hawkins has a future.

My guess is there is a high probablility we go WR and CB in the first two rounds depending on who is the BPA at those two positions. Still, we don't want the Titans drafting by position. It is always better to take the BPA IMO.

I also think the Titans will get serious about FA WRs. With FA WRs however you can only pursue what is out there. Although I was hoping we would have made a serious offer to Berrian (almost 1000 yards on the flipping Vikings with a remarkable 20 yards per catch average) who would have been a great compliment to Gage the Titans apparently felt the same as many posters who expressed concerns about Berrian's talents. The FO has to be kicking themselves a little on that one. We did try and sign Stallworth and Curtis the year before but they decided to take less money rather than play in our anemic passing offense. I'm happy Stallworth opted out because he sucks. Curtis would have been nice.

Bottom line is say we signed Curtis year before last or Berrian last year. For the most part problem solved. I hope we don't miss out this time around.

 

Stubbornness. Duh.
Fish keeping those two in when it was apparent to everyone and their mother that they both sucked ***, is the same thing as Fish/MR/FO NOT drafting a WR in the first round when everyone and their mother knows we need a playmaker WR.

See above, as you missed my point entirely.

We won't draft a WR in the first round, period.

What in our 10 year history makes you think they're going to up and put that much empasis on the FA WRs now?
We may go after one (Housh comes to mind if Cincy does let him go), but we aren't going to overpay them.
