Adding another mediocre WR to our mediocre(or worse) WR corp doesn't really impact it all that much I don't think. LaFell has been around a 600-700 yards a year guy the majority of his career. I don't think if you add LaFell or anyone else currently on the market you suddenly think "ok we can run more 3 WR+ sets now that LaFell(or insert FA here) is here instead of Taylor or Sharpe". I don't think I'd feel any noticeable difference in comfort if Matthews or Davis is sitting for LaFell instead of Taylor or Sharpe. I mean sure he's a bit better but he's still just a guy. If the scheme is as good as everyone praises it to be, and Mariota lives up to expectations, it's not gonna matter what the name of the receiver is so long as they can just catch a pass. Outside of a very, very select few in this league, receivers are schemed open and thrown open. They don't get open by themselves. I'm ok with Taylor or Campanaro or even Burnett in the slot... my concern isn't going Davis, Matthews, Taylor... its going Davis or Matthews, Taylor and Sharpe. Yes, I do think Lafell is a significant upgrade over Sharpe... enough to justify a couple million investment in him. He was a 64/862/6 guy just a couple of seasons ago. I don't expect that, even if starting... but I do expect a guy will contribute from multiple spots. I guess I just would never expect this from Sharpe.. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap3000000875299/Brandon-LaFell-gets-wide-open-and-hauls-in-the-37-yard-Dalton-TD-pass Nor this http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap3000000875445/Brandon-LaFell-takes-the-shovel-pass-and-blazes-through-Titans-D-for-25-yards And definitely never this https://youtu.be/9wmHJt_0oxw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan89 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I am actually probably more fine than others with our top four receivers being Davis, Taylor, Matthews and Sharpe. I feel like in the last lousy offensive scheme Taylor was poorly utilized and I think he will have a great year for us. He isn't just known for speed though the speed element will help the whole group as a whole. Taylor can do it all and I think he will show that and show out this year. The issue with the receivers is if we suffer an injury that may be tough. I do hope Burnett makes the team. My concern right now is on inside linebacker especially with my Adopt a Titan Rashaan Evans. What the heck is going on with him if it is indeed related to the heat? Very concerning he is yet to even practice which is disappointing as he was a first round pick for a reason and I was pumped when we picked him. Not a knock on Compton or Brown at all as I feel both are solid LBs but Evans I felt would have put the group over the top and without the depth is not great.

VY Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Encouraging. Maybe he can be a competent back-up this year, develop into a #3 down the road. That would be huge. Also, liking Davenport way better than Wolfe. Generally seems more knowledgeable and provides better insights, even from just a practice POV.

I like Wolfe a lot and think he did a nice job, but Davenport seems to have a much stronger grasp of the game of football. Not to make it seem like Wolfe didn't know what he was talking about, but Davenport clearly has a good mind for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtait93 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 It sucks that we’re thin at WR but if I had to choose one position group to be thin at it would definitely be WR. It’s almost impossible to be strong at every position so I’m not too upset about it. I think Davis and Matthews will end up being ok for the season anyways. Also, I’m glad our DB’s are our strongest position. Vacarro seems to be fitting in nicely so far from everything I’ve read. If he turns out to be an upgrade over Cyp then Butler/Jackson/Ryan/Byard/Vacarro looks real, real nice. With Brown also being good in coverage we should be tough to pass on.

Titans fan 617 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 I think Davis will be fine. I think if we had to play today Rak would suit up. The one that’s puzzling and is alarming and I hate that he’s going to miss Game time is Evans. I have no clue what’s going on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragevsuall17 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Davis is just giving the rest of the guys on the roster a chance to get more snaps. He's not hurt... in fact, he's indestructible and about to take his rightful place as the best WR in the NFL this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
