    to quote, "How Every Team Stands During the Summer Break"

    I wasn't expecting anything special or completely bizarre - like someone with optimism...... so first thing I did was scroll down to 32nd - and sure enough, not far off at all..... 31.

    NFL Power Rankings: How Every Team Stands During The Summer Break

    This should piss everyone one here right off (the general consensus being 30th to 31st) .... is it understandable? Yes, it can be justified in ways... And this is a new year, but is almost a completely different roster and staff...

    Every year someone makes a thread complaining about where we are listed in a power rankings. And every year we end up being terrible.

    Are we at all convinced that Mularkey is a significant upgrade?

    JROB >>>>> Webster for sure. But this isn't likely gonna be a quick turnaround imo. Would love to be wrong though.

    I think a huge sign for us that we're going to be good is that we're a Top 15 Defense (top 10 and higher in some categories) .... And our defense is what kept us in several games. And those several games were separated by only a touchdown (or less) margin.... So if we can sustain an offense that can score a touchdown even EVERY OTHER DRIVE - that puts us in line to hold something over our opponent(s). And I find it completely hilarious that every sportswriter doesn't think that adding Murray, Henry, Matthews, Conklin, Jones, Sharpe (to be seen lol, honorable mention) etc. etc. will transition us in a AT LEAST top 20 offense attack (lol) which might be all it takes...

    Oh, and btw -we've only added to our power punch on defense -- so I expect us to be a top 7 defense this year (also Dick LeBeau having full control with amplify it as well)

    Underdog stories are always the best anyway, but I can't possibly justify a pre-preseason ranking for the Titans any higher than about 27/28 anyway.
    Remember that all "power ranking" articles have a few purposely selected placements for the purpose of getting readers to click on their story and comment. The more "unbelievable" the more hate mail they get which = more money.

    I have said it on here a bunch...We are not above a .500 team yet....We need another FA/Draft to get us there, and hope that A) Mularkey doesn't crap the bed and B) That our Offensive Line can actually create room, and our DB's stop being swiss cheese.

    I agree with all of this and feel your pain. But to everyone else in the league we are the team that went from 2nd last to last. Until we prove ourselves you should get used to these spots in the rankings.
