lavar703 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Why even play Trent at all? Some players I feel you can hold out until opening day and it will be fine. Trent is one of those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article yesterday that had him getting outplayed by pretty much everyone. I’d love to read it, I can’t find anything anywhere which says he’s in danger of being cut by the Titans. On the unofficial depth chart he’s their starter next to Woodyard, now that could be wrong but I don’t know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s a serious injury but they said it could keep him from making the team... Lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been outplayed by Jayon Brown, who has played very well in the first two preseason games and has seemingly eclipsed Compton in the battle for the third inside linebacker slot. Brown would more than likely be the starting linebacker alongside veteran Wesley Woodyard if the season were to start immediately. Compton isn’t as fast or athletic, and he hasn’t done a great job getting off blocks in the run game." Sorry,doesn't mention him not making the team,but not looking good .

I think the starters are going to at least play a half and hopefully into the 3rd quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Draper Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I’d love to see some analytics applied to preseason including playing time for starters in preseason games, full pad practices and resulting full season records, in season injuries Willl be looking at what other teams do with their starters tonight. Bruno my fav bar tender held court and the discussion : should the players who get/got injured playing in preseason have been held out until the regular season? Interesting points about teams who don’t practice hard or play starters in preseason don’t start well either. And some thinking that the guys injured in preseason would probably get injured anyway early in the season and conversely about the more games a player is on the field the higher probability of injury.

turtle28 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 They just posed this question on the TEAM980 for callers and I thought it was a good one: You’ll be happy tonight if? 1. No injuries 2. Alex Smith and the passing game are in sync. 3. AD looks as good as he did last year in his few good games before getting injured in AZ. 4. The run defense shuts down Denv’s run game. 5. The pass rush gets after Keemun. 6. The pass defense does a solid job defending Damaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.

Woz Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 18 hours ago, turtle28 said: What sucked for us is that for 2 years Compton was the 2nd best ILB we had after Gruden benched and didn’t re-sign Robinson and cut Riley. For a decade our front office seemed to refuse to upgrade the positon properly until they signed Zach Brown to a prove it contract last year. Robinson just retired the other day. His loss wasn't that bad (other than the fact that they hadn't addressed the position as you said). 18 hours ago, turtle28 said: Sadly, I’m still not sold the future starting ILBs are on this team after the next few years unless Spaight, JHC or SDH take a massive jump soon in their development. Spaight is probably a wash out (it happens), but I wouldn't give up hope on JHC or SDH yet (asking a rookie to make a massive jump in development just four months after he gets drafted is perhaps a bit too optimistic/aggressive).
