Are you telling me that Jalen Tolliver is actually worth a roster spot over ARat? Batson is a special teamer right? So he's likely safe, along with AJ Brown and Corey Davis, probably Humphries as well. Who in training camp is actually ahead of him? Tajae and Taywan? That experiment has ran it's course, time to cut. Easy choice.
No, not like that. It's a 3 WR offense and 3 guys that probably play much of the second half.
Batson is on IR. Raymond is a speedy lil bugger and probably replaces him in the very same role as last year BUT on the practice squad. Coaches got on the DBs for less than best effort and Raymond didn't do as well after. He's a real hard one to figure out, like Batson. He's so wow quick that there probably is a role for him BUT it'd be super limited. What that worth? Attracting a certain DB (like Taylor does) because he's so quick, that would help Humphries and Davis. Again, what's that worth if Taylor can do that too?
The Titans are considering 5 guys as part of the starters or first unit. The starters have been Taylor, Davis, and Humphries every day except the one mixup day when they change on purpose. (add Brown and Tajae for the five)
Darius Jennings led the NFL in KR last year. He has played S, CB, RB, FB, WR, KR, PR, ace in the NFL. He is a super utility man that will be tough to beat out. I mean if it were to come down to Tajae or him, I think Jennings would win. Field position is just so important and how much time does a 5th WR get, regardless of what happens in camp?
I think they're going to keep seven WRs if Taylor or Tajae aren't traded. The backup RBs are fading fast. The backup TEs are not doing well in the 3 WR offense. They're proving that they can do one thing well- block or run a route. If asked to ad-lib or feed off Marcus' check down, they don't do well. There's an enormous gap between Jonnu and Firkser, Wick, Pruitt. Now that Flu has become the h-back, I really question if any of them make it. It seems like a PS spot for a backup TE and that's it. The Titans were a 3 TE offense for five years or so and have kept five to seven tight ends. Keeping two would create some room to add linemen, WRs, or whatever. Geesh, it'd make the Titans O normal for a change.
Anyway, like I said, ARW has finally got some work with the first team but a little bit. He's in there on the second. He did move up. It would take something major though to make him bump Tajae. Tajae has always been a practice player and is doing real well. He usually stinks week one, but that would be too late for ARW.
The numbers are not in ARWs favor, hence my constant prediction that the Titans mess this up and he signs elsewhere
