Our depth is going to be off the hook… if only we only had starters. I kid. This signing is fine. He will make the team and is cheap which is what our D signings needs to do.

AZBearsFan Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 5 hours ago, abstract_thought said: Borom was a below-average starting OT. Jenkins played 2.5 games that ranged from awful to OK. How anyone can aver that being "fine" is their floor is a mystery. That's the best level of play we've seen from either of them. And we only saw it sporadically. The truth is you can't declare a young player's floor with any certainty. James Daniels got worse. Mustipher got worse. Not every guy improves after his rookie season. I’ll disagree about what we saw from Borom and Jenkins, but that aside, I agree that not every player improves from their rookie season. But, if the FO agrees with me that what they saw from Borom and/or Jenkins was at least “fine” then “fine” as a rookie usually gets you the opportunity to show growth. If the standard is anything other than immediate upper echelon play earns you a demotion then the standard is flawed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than him being a U of A guy there’s nothing to dislike here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be tough for the don’t over pay crowd and the Poles likes the young OTs crowd. It would be an upgrade in terms of reliability… not sure how much I would pay for that. If they’re not satisfied with Borom or Jenkins at tackle then Fisher is a guy who makes a ton of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue with him is tends to be injury prone, but when on the field, does a really solid job against TEs and slot receivers. I liked him coming out of Arizona... scrappy player.

I would have preferred Poles be more aggressive on the OL and WRs in particular, but with a competent OC and OL coach he may be able to get the best out of them. Clearly he has no issues with how things have shook out so far. If Fields is getting the hell beat out of him (beyond a few games anyway), I'll be calling Poles an idiot soon enough.

dafreak Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) FROM 2018: Kent Lee Platte @MathBomb Dane Cruikshank has one of the highest #RAS of the draft class, and the highest for any likely to be drafted corner. Great size, speed, and explosion should get him views at corner first, but he may ultimately land at safety in the pros.

But I like this too: A physical complement to Jackson has been lacking since Amos left is sorely needed. Jackson hasn’t been the same since Amos left. Core ST floor with starter upside. Fits the offseason mold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ability to play effectively in a big dime coverage should help cover up insufficiencies in the CB depth even if he’s not able to earn a bigger role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Really interesting how the Titans line up on defence… Base: 24.8% (18th in the NFL) Nickle: 52% (26th in the NFL) Dime: 23.2% (5th in the NFL) IMO every Base D in the NFL these days should be 4DL, 2LB, 2CB, 3S…what the Titans seem to be doing is playing there Base defence then rather than moving to a Nickel jumping straight into a Dime…meaning they play a 4DL, 1LB, 3CB, 3S…allows them to get as many athletic players on the field as possible…Jayon Brown played that nickel linebacker role but Cruickshank played that 3rd safety role where he plays down over the TE…that is something we have missed for a long time…I don’t see Cruickshank as a starter but I do expect him to play a lot of snaps when we play move TEs.

Madmike90 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Looking at what Poles has signed so far there are another few players I could see landing here given there age, wage demands and that their best football could be in front of them... DT...Taylor Stallworth...Colts CB...Blessuna Austin...Seahawks CB...Kevin King...Packers S...Terrell Edmunds...Steelers S...DeShon Elliott...Ravens 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Wonder where he is going...would be great if it was here on a 1 year deal but I suspect it will probably be back to the Bengals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
