Harris, Amano, Scott - Lets rank em

by Chris Colgan on Oct 23, 2011 5:31 PM CDT

Okay, so I created this FanPost primarily to educate myself. I know a lot of people on this blog understand football terms really well and stuff, but I just don't know much about schemes and whatnot. So when i watch the running game, I notice the things like when Scott gets pushed back towards CJ when CJ is involved in a running play and stuff, but I don't know enough about football stuff to look for everything I need to look for to determine who sucks and when. I also realize that I'm probably never going to learn all that. So I am asking the people that are knowledgeable about football terms to rank Harris, Amano, and Scott.

I am primarily interested in people's ranking of them from a run-blocking perspective, (as that is clearly what they struggle with the most) but feel free to rank them from a pass-blocking perspective too. Like I said, I am just trying to understand more about their value (or lack thereof) to the team. Also, I would prefer if you rank them based entirely on football value and ignore the value of each of them in relation to their salary/contract and stuff, but I will post their salary/contract info here so we can discuss that aspect of their value in the comments following initial rankings... or whatever...

Eugene Amano: 2/15/2010: Signed a five-year, $26.247 million contract. The deal contains $10.337 million guaranteed, including a $7.25 million signing bonus and $3.087 million of his first-year salary. 2011: $2.68 million, 2012: $3,182,500, 2013: $3.685 million, 2014: $4,187,500, 2015: Free Agent

Leroy Harris: 7/30/2011: Signed a two-year contract.

Jake Scott: 2011: $4.7 million, 2012: Free Agent

Finally, I waffled over whether the poll should be for who was the best of the three or who was the worst, but I'm trying to stay positive, so I went with best.

Now help me learn!

Jake is ok. Eugene gets too many penalties and Leroy just sucks.

Titans are going to "send a message" to the whole team by cutting him.

Eugene forgot the snap count and snapped early

He can;t block in the passing or the run game, and Leroy is just bad at Guard.
I say demote Amano and promote Velasco

Best sig ever, reason 1, reason 2

Scott is the best of the 3

Can’t say why, maybe it’s the beard?

Scott gets the least amount of hate on this site.

Maybe rightfully so, but maybe not.

He really, really sucks at times, too.

"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"
