Airness McNairness Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) depth on this team is looking real solid all over.. MAYBE another TE, but i think they are more than comfortable rollling with Firkser this year.... dont get your hopes up on one of these old OLB's with a name you recognize.. i think they would rather develop the young guys for the 4th OLB spot than pay the vet minimum of at least 2-3 million for a guy to be your 4th pass rusher. especially when they've shown to only have 3 OLB's available on game day.

ttitansfan4life Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Need another TE and edge rusher. Dupree is coming off a torn ACL and our current depth is flat out terrible. They drafted Weaver but he apparently hit a woman so his status is up in the air. Behind him? Yikes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes Ya OLB is still a need I know they only ran with 3 OLBs active for most of the games last year but that can’t happen this year Landry disappears and fades later in the season at times Dupree off a knee injury We definitely need depth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wonder if them only keeping 3 up the last two years plays into the numbers game. if they go to 4 OLB's up on gameday instead of 3, what other position group has one less guy now?

Im just going off the top of my head because I’m at work so I don’t have time to check but TE comes to mind We normally role with 4 TEs, as of now it looks like we will start with 3 Im sure someone else will have another position group in mind but as of now TE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titans0021 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Not my top preference, but if he looks to be in decent shape, it’d be a whole lot of fun to let Delanie come along for the ride after all of the work he put in on mediocre to terrible teams.

Daniel Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Honestly, with as stacked as we now are at receiver, I don’t care about TE depth very much. Should have guys that can block, at least, and Firkser is fine as a starter. I worry much more about OLB. We’re hoping that Weaver comes in as a decent No. 3 right off the bat, with Landry and an injured Dupree in front. Any of then miss time and it gets drastic fast. Not much better inside. Simmons and Autry will be great, but Teair Tart will be our starting NT, and Murchison is probably next in depth. Naquon Jones might end up as our fifth. We don’t need a starter, but someone who can come in as a reliable rotational piece would reeeeeally help this team round out its depth.

titans0021 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I would be surprised if Abry Jones didn’t make the team. Nothing great, but a competent, fairly reliable NT that’s insurance if Tart flames out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titans0021 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Not that we don’t need another Edge, we absolutely do, but I’d be shocked if Rashaan Evans didn’t play at least half of his snaps at OLB. Remains to be seen if that’s a good thing, but with Jayon and Long, I just can’t see Evans not getting significant work on the edge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I keep pointing back to the game before Jayon got hurt in Baltimore, Evans was working with the OLB's and pass rush moves. I definitely think he will be there more. Evans-Bud-Simmons- Autry-Landry front to get wild. lol With Brown Long/Rice behind them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Rashaan Evans playing edge doesn’t really make me feel better about our depth there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it means that we actually start Jayon and Long at ILB, it makes me feel better about the defense as a whole lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
