"Thornton, 27, will team with Keith Bulluck, one of the best if unheralded defenders in the league, to give the Titans a standout tandem of outside linebackers."Sounds like Thornton will play outside.
Sounds like he may be taking over Peter Sirmon's SLB spot. Sirmon can't seem to stay healthy."Thornton, 27, will team with Keith Bulluck, one of the best if unheralded defenders in the league, to give the Titans a standout tandem of outside linebackers."Sounds like Thornton will play outside.
A pick like D-Qwell Jackson, Abdul Hodge, etc. makes sense.Thornton, rookie, Bulluck makes a nice trio.They say in the article that Kassell is likely to leave via free agency... who's going to be MLB for the Titans?
I haven't heard anything about Kassell... any chance he resigns?A pick like D-Qwell Jackson, Abdul Hodge, etc. makes sense.Thornton, rookie, Bulluck makes a nice trio.They say in the article that Kassell is likely to leave via free agency... who's going to be MLB for the Titans?
As deep as this LB class, they should be able to address it at the draft. The MLB will only be a 2 downer anyhow.They say in the article that Kassell is likely to leave via free agency... who's going to be MLB for the Titans?
I would not say that. If I had to guess, his value is about the same to slightly less. Bulluck is the stud in Tenn D. Thornton will play 2nd (or worse) fiddle. Upside is really capped.So from SLB on Indy to SLB on Tenn? It seems like that would help his fantasy value. Correct?
word is in TN that Sirmon will move over to the middleI think he will get some numbers since teams wont know which side the blitz will be coming from. Both Thorton and Bullocks both can blitz and cover pretty well so I think they both will have huge years if your league gives sacks and ints more emphasis. I could see Thorton moving into the middle because of his speed compared to Kassel who the team has said is way too slow for their scheme. I think Thortons numbers increase while Bullocks maybe drops just a little bit. Thorton could be top 20 lb is sack and int emphasis league while Bullocks stays in the top 5. Rookie or Gardner could be the 3rd LBer but will get pulled in 3rd down or long situations.
