Mike,I have been thinking and i feel Reid was well aware of the problem last year but just couldn't get it addressed.
i feel his drafting of T.J.Lewis and the McMullen kid were directed at this.
T.J.Lewis i feel is an excelllent addition and could free up Chad Lewis to be traded for a draft pick or whatever.
McMullen he was high on and gave him time right from the start but the kid dropped most anything at him.
Question unanswered does McMullen have terminal -"gees the kid would be great if he only could catch the damned ball":)????
Last year Ralph Boston--they proved right(vert right!) not to make any play for him.
But i do not see T.O. as a Ralph Boston--T.O. is a pain the in butt, jerko--but he plays, he is a wacko health nut that is in such super shape one would think he was sculpted, or possibly an android:)( and he has no THG rumors moving aroud him)
I believe McNabb says many things to the front office we will never hear, but the fact he has publicly said he would want Terrel Owens on his team tells me he has already let this known to the front office.
Pinkston and Thrash, Reid and MCNabb will NOT ever publicly speak against them because they both know that the two are playing to the best of their abilities but the fact is loud and clear, those abilities are #3 and #4 level receivers.
Thrash might even be needed as a kick returner BECAUSE as great a kick returner Westbrook is, you can't move Westbrook up to The Man and have return punts too; it is just asking too much.
Westbrook this is the the big question--Westbrook has greatness written all over him, he as the most unteachable gift a runner can have, incredible vision and the instant quickness to see, process and react plus he has shown he is an excellent receiver.
So can he hold up, can he do 25-30 touches a game (minus kick returning).
At 5'8" 200 pounds he is NOT as small as he looks.
Quit a few of the best backs in football history come in at that area of height and weight.
I don't want to see Troy Vincent go--he pretty well shut down Steve Smith in the carolina game in spite of still having flexor problems.
But Troy sounded REALLY sounded depressed post game, like this hurts so much he just wants to get out, go anywhere.
i think the Titans feel, and are probably right, they could be the best team in football with a little tweaking.
I see Titans eyeing both Vincent and Staley(George is rumored to be leaving).
Reid said this isn't the end we could have great off season, i interpret that he is going for the fixes.PaxMax
The defensive front 4? We need everybody to get back--can Burgess ever play though--is he one these injury prones that never happen---could be).
Also we need a 2nd good middle linebacker to spell Simoneau--he is too small to play virtually every down. yadda yadda PaxMax
p.s. Bobbie what his name got eaten alive by Carolina--we need Mayberry back. |
