Titans 2018 (1 Viewer)

Wasn't the hiring of Bob Bostad questioned at the time? Seems like a long time ago.

Warmack may be correct that he could use better coaching. His attitude doesn't seem very coachable however if the criteria is that the coach be a former player worth listening to.

Who is the offensive line coach now?
Click to expand...
He was a Tampa Bay assistant OL coach and their line wasn't good. It was why promote him then? Shouldn't he have done well?

I'd give ya that any line coach following Munchak and Matthews was going to be perceived as less than stellar, but Whis had no reason to fire Matthews and/or give former players the feeling they weren't welcome. 

There's only like 9 guards in the last 20-30 years that have gone in the top ten and maybe Munchak, Matthews and Warmack had a connection...maybe.

That would be a reason for Chance to not do something well repetitively or be in the wrong place often. It would not excuse a nice block this play and 'what are you doing' feeling the next play. His massive talent was inconsistent under HOFers and a bad coach too. That's completely on him.

The first summer with Bostad, Warmack sat often with minor injuries and Lewan played RG at times. Lewan 'drank in' all the advice he could get and especially latched onto Michael Roos. Warmack never did. Warmack's first year he played right next to a 8-10 year excellent tackle. He couldn't have had a better opportunity to pick a veteran's brain.

Nothing was different, ever, with Warmack. He's always been inconsistent one play to the next. If he is not re-signed after 2016, he will have been coached by THREE hall of fame players and played with two that regularly made the pro bowl. Chances are he is not going to get a better opportunity to learn. On a new team, (or this summer)he'd better realize all the talent in the world doesn't matter if you're not coachable. He is quite literally that old cliche.

Grimm has very poor experience developing young players. Obviously there's the Steelers South label and all but his forte has been getting the best out of veterans. I couldn't find any young linemen that did well under him when I researched. The Titans are so young, it's a very curious move but also Grimm was available and teams weren't falling all over themselves to sign him so maybe he needs to prove he can do this too. Lewan, Chance, and Conklin are top prospects. He's got three elite talents to work with and by all accounts Conklin and Lewan are very coachable. Generally coaches love UDFAs that have made a team-their demeanor and work ethic due to being 'hungry.' He has some nice clay to mold here.

Michael Roos has already been seen at Titans practices chatting with the team and pointing out something with Lewan's feet. Grimm's presence(and Whisenhunt's departure) should welcome back the old timers that visit from time to time. Of course I have no idea whom will visit but if Roos, Hopkins, Mawae, Stewart, and Matthews stop by that is a nice opportunity for a young player. In the instagram pic, there's three white guys (no names on jerseys, back of their heads) learning from Roos. Not Chance. I think the other two were the UDFA tackles.

 
One thing I found interesting about Warmacks comments was, it almost sounded like he would freestyle at times. I know there were times watching the Titan's blocking where I was confused, because you would have everyone zone blocking then have Warmack pulling across? I just figured this was Wis being too cute, but now I wonder if Warmack just kind of did his own thing some times?

Russ Grim has been out of the league for a few years. So hard to say what he brings to the group. Warmack won't be able to use the coach didn't play at a high level excuse with Grimm at least I guess.

 
Grimm, Munchak, and probably every HOF lineman seems to be wired the same way. A grunt, brute strength lunchpail demeanor to them. You can stop right there with Warmack. When have you ever heard a HOF lineman insult a coach like Warmack did? Whine like Warmack does? First off he needs to carry some water, eat some grass, get some mud and blood on his jersey and get the right mindset.

He's very lucky Bell got hurt. It seemed possible he is inconsistent, a coach pulls him puts Bell in and...see ya Warmack. If they don't add someone, he only has to beat out UDFAs and late picks. 

The biggest problem is you can't scheme to cover inconsistency. You can work around excellent run blocker, poor pass protection and maybe give someone to chip his guy or somesuch. Vice versa you can run opposite or send the FB there or a TE shift to slam in behind him. Accountability is huge with linemen.  

Also, maybe more of a big deal than people notice is the help. Lewan really struggled when he had to help the LG. When Spain came in and only allowed a half sack for 7 games, not coincidentally, Lewan was said to have regained his form.

Not one right tackle has done well since Warmack has been there-even Stewart. Now Conklin has this blue chip sorta glow to him-finally the RT won't be blamed.

I wasn't a fan of Oher's but he did do fine in Carolina.

Stingley was groomed to be the future T when Roos or Stewart retired and then Whis cut him and Munchak scooped him up. When he did play, he did fine...except when next to Warmack.

Poutasi was dancing so much you knew he was nervous and overwhelmed. I'm not sure on him because I never saw him comfy. (I don't think I've ever seen a lineman move their feet so much either but...) 

Bell didn't do that great at RT.

The Titans haven't had the best RTs and it's not much of a case but that's all changed now with Conklin there. It's like Warmack lost his excuse. Jones was the 19th ranked C but as long as the Titans consider him a very nice addition, Warmack is surrounded by two very good players. You add Stevens just outside Conklin and ...it's all on Warmack.

 
Wyatt is just chatting here so it'd be foolish to jump on it too much but-

 They’re going to have to earn their spots. McCluster brings something different with his quickness, and his return ability. I think he’s competing with Bishop Sankey for a spot. 

That would mean Sankey is playing 3rd down back role not 3rd string guy. Generally, they have 1,2,3 and 3rd down.

Assuming no crossover (and this tangent is a bit much) that would put Cobb, Andrews, and Fluellen fighting for the other.

 
“That all depends on him,” Mularkey said when asked to assess the “upside” of his second-year wideout. “How effective is he out here, first? And then we get into these preseason games, see how much we can load him up. We also know we’ve got some other options too that will be competing with him. So it’s not a for sure he’s lining up at ‘X’ for us on opening Sunday. They’ve got to earn it.”

I'm a sucker for NFL nepotism or "he is the son of...." players. I'm not sure if it's the Matthews family or how it got ingrained but that has extra weight with me.

That said- I'm pleased they signed Joe Horn's son. Joe was second cousin to Michael and Marcus Vick too. That's some nice family "stock" to come from athletically.

He's a D2 player

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijf7fUkkKxU

His youtube highlight video has two things that could make Mularkey fall in love- a very nice block where he flattens a DB, another solid block, a nice return that's just faith in the blockers, and another return that is simply excellent vision. 

The Titans have had straight line speed and done fairly well with return men just running straight ahead. I loved Perrish Cox as a return guy in college and think McCluster ought to be a better returner but...if one five second clip is any indication, he could be their return guy. You can't teach vision...that's...well I was impressed.

***********

I'm super curious about the blocking. It was a big issue in Buffalo and Jax. Hines Ward, of course, was his best blocking WR but his WRs have always blocked well. This is an old style coach thing. I remember BP benching Meshawn til he blocked well in preseason as a rook. Gibbs, Shula, even Cowher...all the good old coaches stressed it.

DGB flat out destroyed a few DBs last year and other times whiffed. He's got potential-not concerned with him.

What about the rest of the WR corps?

I haven't really heard of blocking being stressed since Fisher rode Cook years ago. 

If I had to say, as a group, they're some of the worst blocking WRs in the league. I think this is totally going to pop up as a surprisingly big deal this summer.

Also it's a way out. If Mularkey has to make an unpopular cut- he can blame blocking and all the guy has to do is say he worked on his technique and find a new home. Giving the impression someone is a bad player or not good enough could hurt his career but blocking 'hits' a bit gentler I think

 
Titans released Cujo and Nick Harwell

Cudjoe-Virgil was still not healed up from last year's injury

 
Steve Hutchinson will work for the Titans this summer as an intern coach in camp

Technically he is a former Titan. So happy about this.
 

 
2 days of Conklin with 2nd team, Spain and not Spain(that's all I got) at RT

My Wright prediction looks oh so accurate today

Move Sharpe up your dynasty rankings in a big way

 
With the slot seemingly wrapped up, Sharpe now pushing outside WRs. Mularkey called out Hunter for having a good day so....watch out DGB.

Fascinating UDFA baseball player WR running with the ones today some.

Conklin and some UDFA tackle(can't make out the # in pic) is playing RT with the ones. Again Conklin spent some time with the twos. I think it's Tyler Marz

Mularkey said re Conklin "he's exactly what we were asking to fill that spot if we had to" Ummmm what?

Marz is the worst combine scored tackle but yet he blocked big time rushers very well in college. Combine scores killed his draft chances. Still it's just a guess-I can't make out the number and it looks like him.

Douglas is done or at least get the fork ready-PK wrote an article guessing the same

Wright is still catching passes from Cassell, no pics or notes of he and Mariota.

Just like last year, it looks like TZ and DGB are best buddies doing everything together and always by each other's side. TZ going in for him with ones.

Mularkey gushed saying Mariota was accurate.

Deep ball very much in plans, WRs gotta make some plays to build up Mariota's confidence in them.

It was noteworthy when Stafford stopped Sharpe from catching a pass...which is weird. When people say "he catches everything" it goes right over me as it's so common but when a reporter points out a DB broke up a pass as if that's news..hmmm maybe he really is catching everything. Remember how obsessed they were with MM not throwing INTs in camp last year? It's halfway similar start to it I guess.

Mularkey is pushing Hunter to be the man. You can make choices as to how reasonable those expectations are but he came through today. Remember, despite his experience, he's only 24. DGB is 23.

Solely based on who played with ones-

Hunter, Sharpe, DGB, TZ, Matthews and....Roberts would be the five or six WRs based solely on today.

UDFAs will get time one day with the ones and none the next...maybe no time ever again even so I'm leery of jumping to any conclusion about Roberts.

I'm antsy for a reporter to ask Qs about Wright and it's a little annoying they haven't. Also, David Cobb. I'd put him with Douglas and the fork. Fluellen has run ahead of Sankey and Andrews like the three of them each getting in some rotation as the backups. Cobb is beyond the three. 

Cobb and Douglas better go home and train and study in the break before training camp. I also though expect each to have 6th 7th round type trade value or somesuch. I could totally see them traded before camp. They were waiting for some things to flesh out and if a RB isn't in the top five or a WR in the top 8, that's enough. No need to wait anymore.

The Pats don't seem to like Blount, then like Blount, then don't. Cobb is a 'pile mover' RB. I wonder if Robinson can't just make a trade with them. He could probably do that part time role pretty well and find his niche in the NFL there.

 
Two WR sets (most common, remember) was Hunter opposite Sharpe. Matthews and Roberts came in for them. Roberts again? two days in a row is hmmm

Both TZ and DGB ran with the twos. Wright played in the slot with the ones.

Some are starting to discuss XYZ with the Titans now. Mularkey has said over n over that Hunter is an X.

My understanding is the Y is either slot or TE.

The Z is opposite the X and usually "the other WR" in many NFL offenses, the complimentary guy. Mularkey doesn't do that one man wrecking crew at WR. Remember Plax and Ward? Moulds and Evans? Julio, Green, Calvin, Andre, DeAndre....that's not Mularkey's style offense. 

My guess is the Y is being brought up to soften fans to the idea that the slot won't be used so much this year. Consider Walker "King of the Ys" and things seem to fit nicely. 

The Titans posted a video of the WRs doing drills- as has been said a few times, Hunter is the only one that goes up and gets it on the deep balls. The others expect it in their bread basket. You can see that, he's up well above the DB grabbing it. Sharpe spins Kalan Reed like a top in that video too. If you've got this "it's just in shorts" mindset about Sharpe, turning a DB all around and twisted would work regardless of pads or shorts. It's like two seconds but check it out. It might be your "ohhhh that's why" moment of the day.

 
Well I got a text back about Roberts with the ones. I  had asked if they're just looking at a UDFA and think nothing of it?

The reply was "No he's done real well."

Huge monkey wrench now, enormous. If he is with the ones AND Sharpe then names get cut.

Two practices, just two, but it is always noteworthy when someone works their way up to the ones

Don't get me wrong, I love your analysis and insight.  It's just that it reads like txtspk at times.  It sounds like you're a professional or semi-professional writer, but you really don't come across like one.  If this were my line of work, I'd proofread every ####### sentence twice.

Thank you. Sometimes I am on my phone and that could be the case. That's how I watch periscope.

Otherwise, nah, editors are saviors. 

 
Bri, I made a heavy investment in MM in a dynasty league last year while holding Rodgers. After year 1, I 'm celebrating that choice. Injuries aside, he showed the character and made the plays that say top 3 fantasy QB to me. Your thoughts?

I love the guy. He's a future star. His Hawaiian peaceful mindset is so perfect for the QB position. He hasn't had a good coach yet and this will be his first year with a running back.

The division is full of good young QBs and getting plenty of good young WRs(if someone on Titans steps up) so their should be plenty of FF scoring and potential shootouts in his future.

I would bench him against Watt if Conklin doesn't look special. He'll be alright the other 14. They have a nice schedule. If they win too many close games and get a tough schedule in year three he could have a downturn then, but ya really gotta nitpick to find flaws in him.

Titans announced Matthews opposite Sharpe as the starter and Wright in the slot.

Mularkey did not want starters or any depth chart til training camp, so that's an odd planned released statement.

My guess is Hunter and DGB getting five weeks to chew on "not good enough" will do them some good. Also it might tell the world they are available.

I do not think it finishes that way. I think it'll be Hunter opposite Matthews with Sharpe in the slot. Wright gone or backup slot and DGB subbing in.

You don't start two possession WRs generally. My disconnect will be how much frustration there is with not getting it done in the past- Wright, DGB, and Hunter all have that black mark on their back. Like Wright's route running, if he runs one wrong route is Mularkey furious but if Sharpe runs one wrong it's cmon rook? DGB I guess is lining up correctly and speed/not thinking. 

Mularkey did say up N down about Hunter but he was easily the 2nd most complimented WR thru OTAs and minicamp by him. Almost every presser.

One thing PK discussed on periscope which is new and ya gotta understand- Robinson does not do projects. He claims the Pats don't(I think they have like Boyce and Slater) and you're either ready to play in the NFL or you're not. Whether anyone agrees with him doesn't matter since he makes the calls and this is his standing point. I LOVE this thinking today. Anyone that thought they had time to develop totally has to push it for 5 weeks til training camp returns. On cutdown day, I might hate this way of thinking. 

This line of thinking kills Cobb who still stinks at blitz pickup and isn't much of a receiver. Not elite or anything but Fluellen can technically do it all so, if we roll with the project thinking, that'd put Cobb last. But there's the rub- what about coaching? What about what they can fix.

Austin Johnson has a real possibility of starting. Mularkey said so. "Which Woods" is now a question so Al is not distinguishing himself from the other. He is someone that could absolutely be like the WRs where "not good enough" in the past is used against him as a short leash.

Two things though-

Mularkey rarely said negative. Henry running wrong way on pass protection, Hunter up N down one time, DGB lining up wrong. Three things in like 14 pressers. I don't know what, but something negative happened. Cmon

If you think of every position that was hmmm for this summer, they did something with it before this break. It seems very calculated. There wasn't one quote on Casey or Morgan or Orakpo or Searcy or a backup LT or backup C or Cassel or...there seems to be a method to it.

 
I've thought through the Whis/Mularkey time that the Titans were punching under their weight.

20th would be like five or six wins? 

It's not outlandish

 
Three positive mentions in fifteen - not too shabby

Rookie Buzz

1. Shepard isn't the only greenhorn wideout impressing. Although he dropped to the fifth round after a pedestrian performance at the NFL Scouting Combine, former UMass star Tajae Sharpe is drawing semi-daily praise from the Titans coaching staff. Sharpe has already passed Dorial Green-Beckhamand Justin Hunter for reps with the first-team offense.

"He's right there right now, he could be our starter, he could be the starting X," receiver coach Bob Bratkowski said this week.

Added coach Mike Mularkey, "He's been the most consistent (receiver), and we're letting guys who have been the most consistent get more reps.
Click to expand...
Maybe the 'consistent' part is a bit concerning (ideally you'd want a more flashy word used, like best), but at least he is getting reps and praise

9. Second-round power runner Derrick Henry has mixed in with the first-team offense, inspiring a "Thunder and Thunder" moniker for the bruising Titans backfield. The former Alabama star has beenmuch better than advertised as a receiver, but still needs work on the mental aspects of pass protection.
Click to expand...
Mental aspects of pass protection. Must improve if he s to see the field IMHO

14. Titans third-round pick Kevin Byard, billed as the draft's premier ballhawking free safety by NFL Films senior producer Greg Cosell, has already shown a "knack" for making big plays.
Click to expand...
:clap:

 
Some have said Byard could start over Rashad Johnson but I doubt it.

Getting rid of Griffin and signing Johnson was one of Robinson's first moves. I'll believe it when I see it.

Lebeau loves him but that there was less expressed during OTAs and minicamp. 

Kalan Reed made an awesome play. The video was up and now it's down. People were saying holy cr Fluellen is an awesome CB. Why have we been playing him at RB? and....they have the same number. Mariota totally overthrew Sharpe and Reed put a cape on and somehow dove ten yards past the WR to catch it

 
I mentioned Josue Matias a bunch last year. He looked good last year in preseason (the whole 2nd unit of the OL did even). Bell and Spain became starters from that second unit. Anyhow he was 4 year starter at florida state at G and that's quite some experience against some top competition before the NFL. I was frustrated we'd watch bad guard play and he was on the PS and never got a shot.

Well, word is he's doing real well. Two writers have him on their final 53 projections.

Grimm really likes Matias and has played him at LG, RG, and RT in OTAs and minicamp. 

 
http://titaninsider.com/titans-give-andrew-turzilli-fair-shake-despite-looming-suspension/

Turzilli was in camp last year with the Titans as an undrafted rookie, and later joined the active roster for three games after Tennessee signed him back off the San Francisco 49ers practice squad. He had two receptions in limited work, and coming into camp this year, he figures to be a long shot for the 53-man roster. The fact that he will be out for the first month of the regular season certainly doesn’t work in his favor.

But Titans coach Mike Mularkey and offensive coordinator Terry Robiskie sat the former Rutgers star down at the outset of off-season work and tried to reassure him that, not matter what might be looming in September, that Turzilli will get a fair chance at making the roster.

“The first thing you have to do is make sure that his head is in the game. The first thing he’s going to think of is that that’s going to be a slash against me, a mark against me. It’s not,” Mularkey explained. “I want him to come out here and compete. He’s actually had a very good off-season and been one of our more consistent receivers.”

snip

“We all realize that when it comes down to making (roster) decisions, that’s going to be part of that decision. It was a poor decision to start with on his part, that he didn’t read up on it. I’m hoping that there aren’t bad consequences, because I’m pulling for him,” Mularkey said.

 
Just to reiterate, when Titans return, neither DGB nor Hunter will be listed as a starter.

I spoke to someone today who said it's possible, very likely, that TZ and Douglas are listed ahead of them.

I am not buying BOTH being 7th and 8th wide receivers. This is Mularkey's much more professional motivation to start camp.

I think this might be a "hit" Hunter can't handle. He's taken a shot every offseason like the JAG jersey. Eventually he's not going to overcome this negative motivation. I fault them for doing this junk every year. I don't fault them for doing this this year. He is absolutely at a point where he must kick it into high gear and realize his potential. His contract is up after 2016, and quite simply, at the end of his four years he should be showing better. I won't count him out but, it makes me wonder if he can handle it. DGB is only getting his first taste of negativity.

Hunter is so talented. I wouldn't drop him in FF. If he lands elsewhere, he could again be considered a gem. He's only 24.

I'm rooting for him. He made enough plays in OTAs and minicamp to get every reporter's attention but wasn't as consistent as Mularkey wanted.

 
Following up on a possible Pats trade.

There's a couple wide receiver articles and they seem to be locked into Amendola, Edelman, and Chris Hogan(who you just had to know BB would love)

Some list Malcolm Mitchell as a fourth, some don't.

If we go with three, they are extremely likely to entertain a trade idea. 

A Nate Washington article mentions how he is struggling to coexist with Brady and also that the Titans are a potential trade partner. (Not for Nate, just to add a WR)

MY wing and a prayer guess-

The Titans are back to talking to the former Broncos G/T Vasquez and seem to be missing Bell. A decent(but not starter) lineman for a WR seems like a nice needs trade for each.

Couple hmmm things-

The same day, one reporter wrote Cody Riggs could be cut before camp and another wrote that he is doing very well and will push the starters in camp. 

Mariota singled out Fluellen for how well he's done. Wyatt made sure to mention Fluellen in his mailbag Q about running backs.

I kind of disagree with that. Slot him where you honestly judge him to be. If that is not a starter that should be enough motivation. If that is a starter it should be motivation for the rest of the WRs. If someone else overtakes him because of complacency, so be it

True, absolutely. 

I understand that he did well (some days), so well that they are ooh it might finally be the year. I understand they don't want him to go home and be lazy. A professional should go home and work out. I think some think that's "in a perfect world" and coaches need to motivate them during this stretch.

Wyatt checked in with DGB who said he was studying his playbook a ton. There's a video of Hunter running a hill.

Whisenhunt made me very untrusting very skeptical that they know how to handle young players.

There is no reason a WR can't be consistent in shorts. None. I do totally embrace Mularkey's mindset that consistency in the spring activities is key.

I'm just so leery of them and young talent.

What bugs me about this supposed depth chart which still isn't up is I've had numerous conversations with reporters and even some fans that went when they could. The O takes the field and two WRs are out wide. Two or three more sub in and they do their work, then cassel comes in. Every single day! To me that is a clear set of starters and 4-5 that appear they will make it. I don't like this concept that player X will be ahead of (Hunter or DGB) and didn't even practice with Mariota in team drills. 

Ben Roberts (supposedly, again it's not released) will be listed at the end of the depth chart. Countless reporters have said he played at least 2 or 3 days with the ones and did well. Mularkey said he was very consistent and made plays. He was a former baseball player. He might know more about professionalism than these young guys on the Titans. That's totally fine. As far as the depth chart though- why list him last when some of the others didn't even get a chance with the ones?

My thought is Mularkey (Or Robiskie or...)decided he deserved a chance with the ones and didn't feel that way about others. The other WRs saw this. I imagine Horn's boy and Douglas were like "I wanna play with the ones" and that should be motivation for the backend too. 

Coaching conversations with Hunter and DGB are excellent. Depth chart as motivation is...well it's better than JAG. I think it should be genuine like you said

 
I think the Titans will appear to keep TZ for four weeks. His suspension allows them a four week roster exemption. Wright, Hunter, and Douglas all got hurt last year. If they wanted to cut him or were inclined to, why bother? Players do not get paid during suspension so the risk is almost nil.

In four weeks, also the Titans could claim players other teams waived. The end of the roster could change in four weeks. 

I think he's going to seem to make the team, but truly we should think if he's there week 5, then he made it.

 
Did you read about the fullback spot?

Last year they llllllllllloved Fowler in camp and his receiving ability was going to make him...something. Then they were so unforgiving of a busted play he wasn't going to score on. Benching him for the left side of the line whiffing was so so wrong.

Anywho...did ya see McCluster and Murray, Henry and Murray?

Andrews is the backup FB so he and whomever too.

I like these backfield creative ideas, I just wish they'd use them

 
I'm not very optimistic about Mularkey and specifically him rediscovering his creativity.

It's been :missing:  since Kordell Stewart

 
Between minicamp and TC, Mariota was to meet with WRs and TEs and workout some. 

I haven't seen squat that this happened. It could have in like Hawaii and I just don't read Hawaii newspapers or sites. 

After Kendall's grumpy video to end minicamp and the absence of this I'm a little hmmmm here.

I don't care about camaraderie amongst the WR corps this summer. I'd be totally fine if they were so competitive and "on each other" all camp long. There's a giant bump in the road they need to get over and if some in-fighting from competition exists....so be it.

Reminder, we don't want to lose any of the first round talents of Hunter, Wright, and DGB. We want them all to produce like they should- granted that's unlikely and something of a 1000 yard increase for Hunter and Wright but...the best they can be is to have all of them reach their massive potential

 
Zero moves from minicamp til TC (except finishing up a rookie signing), I believe they have a single spot available, 89 of 90

One thing i've been very vocal about is not offense but defense. I am glad we got Mariota some protection up front with Conklin and Ben Jones this offseason but the one area i hope our new GM Robinson does better in than Webster and that is getting some defensive playmakers. I love the Byard selection i think he will be good for our secondary. Speaking of the secondary they need to let players like Blidi Wreh Wilson go and they already said goodbye to Sensabaugh. The front seven should look better and i'm hoping Dodd is healthy in time for week one.

On that note Verner is on the hot seat in TB - would he still fit the D - and does he still have it?

Verner was one of my favorite players when he played here. We should've never let him go he wasn't that expensive and the guy who replaced him Blidi Wreh Wilson ended up sucking. We drafted Verner in 2010 so surely he would have something left in the tank. I would love to him back if he still has it he was a ballhawk during his time here.
