Sad People Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Sounds like the Titans DL has been very good so far in mini camp and TC interested in seeing how the Vikings OL holds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if they/we actually play starters. That's one of the frustrating things about the new 3 game preseason: you never know which if/any starters will play. Used to be you could count on Game 3 as the "dress rehearsal." Now that just doesn't seem to be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I'm interested in seeing how their young QBs do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches will gain a lot of valuable insight this week before the game even happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Malik Willis should probably switch positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked OK the little bit I watched yesterday and his box score stats seem solid for a 2nd year QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides Hopkins, the Titans WR depth is probably towards the bottom of the league in most rankings. I wonder how we'll do against them.

I guess he did alright vs the 3rd/4th string though. I'm not sure there is really anything impressive in his passing game. He's not accurate, and doesn't seem to sense pressure well at all. He got sacked 1 time for every 6 dropbacks last season. Maybe he's improved but I have yet to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of them each got sacked 4x, both threw 1 INT, Willis did fumble 2x and lost one. Jury is still out on him but it looks like it is an open competition to be Tannehill's backup and likely an open competition between the two next off-season. Room for improvement no doubt but to write him off and call for a position switch after his 4th preseason game is premature IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really highlights that the NFL is a "what have you done for me lately" league. Last year Malik Willis was a draft darling, even being projected to go 1st round. I think most knew he was raw and would need time to develop as the physical skills are there but this year, because he's not tearing it up, he's a bum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give Tennessee credit for being patient with him at least. I didn't write off Joe Webb, Terrelle Pryor, Tim Tebow, Lamar Jackson etc. I just don't have much confidence in Willis as a QB, but do see potential in him as an athlete/gadget player. Maybe he'll prove me wrong and have a huge game against us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these things just doesn't belong." Lamar Jackson doesn't belong on your list. Jackson is a top flight QB. I predict he will be an MVP candidate this season. Also, teams and fans are entirely to impatient...especially with young, raw QBs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
