Tennessee Titans Daily Links: Premier FG Holder Prospect August West Goes Undrafted Yet Again Edition

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Mike Reinfledt makes it sound like the Titans are going to be very active in free agency... whenever that starts. I think we all expected the team to be active in free agency, especially with all of the old contracts that are coming off the books: as currently constructed (especially once VY's contract is gone), the Titans are one of the lowest-payroll teams in the NFL. So no matter what the next salary cap is, we should be in a position to make a splash. What amkes makes the most sense to my mind are a few high-impact signings, rather than a bunch of small moves just to bolster depth. With these new draft picks in the mix it feels like the bottom end of our roster is stronger than most teams. It's the top end that needs to improve, especially on defense.
Tennessee_titans_30x21 At 6'3", 205 lbs with insane athleticism, could underdog corner Tommie Campbell end up being the steal of the draft? Campbell isn't just a set of pretty work-out numbers. He was a top prospect at Pitt before a series of terrible decisions regarding his school work lead to two ugly dismissals. Despite those character flags that cost him dearly on draft day, Campbell could end up being the most mature and motivated rookie out of this class.
Tennessee_titans_30x21 Bye bye, Tully. I love a lot of things about the guy's game, but he just can't make big plays. I'm ready to see the LB unit move forward with Spoon in the middle and Ayers opposite McRath/a free agent.

Star-divide

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Sure 'Karl Klug' sounds like the name of a guard from Hogan's Heroes. but Klug could end up being a hell of a pick. If he hits we could field the most flexible 4-3 defense in the league: Jason Jones, Ayers, Morgan and a few others could all be used in different ways to push the pocket from the edge and give the offensive line several different looks pre-snap.
Tennessee_titans_30x21 Jurrell Casey knows a little something about football factories: before heading to USC, Casey went to high school at Long Beach Poly, which has put more players in to the NFL than any other high school in the country. Other notable Poly alums include Marcedes Lewis, Winston Justice and DeSean Jackson.
Tennessee_titans_30x21 Oh, Cleveland:

When Cal defensive end Cameron Jordan was taking a tour through his new business home -- the New Orleans Saints practice facility in Metairie, La. --on Saturday, his cell phone rang.

"Hi,'' said the voice on the other end. "Jordan? This is the Cleveland Browns ... '' The call was for some biographical information. The Browns were making their fourth-round choice on Day 3 of the draft.

"Uh, yeah, this is Cameron Jordan,'' he said. "But the Saints already picked me.''

There was an awkward pause, and Cameron Jordan said: "I think you mean Jordan Cameron, you're looking for Jordan Cameron. That's not me.''

Tennessee_titans_30x21 One 'Skins fan asks, Albert Haynesworth for Vince Young straight-up? Pass.
Tennessee_titans_30x21 And finally, a few quick thoughtson this draft class from yours truly:

• The Ayers pick really stuck out to me, and not just because it was a brilliantly lucky break: I think the NFL has finally gotten to the point where the total number of 3-4 defenses is making it easier for 4-3 teams to get the guys they want. For years you had good 3-4 specific DL/LBS go lower than their talent shows because there just weren't a lot of teams who needed them. Now, you're almost starting to see that break the other way, and we benefited from that all through the draft.

• When was the last time we had a Titans draft where every single player either started out or ended up at a BCS school? Not that it's necessarily good or bad, it's just weird to not see those small school picks that Reese, Fisher and Washburn loved so much.

• It's worth noting that my boy Wes Bunting had Jamie Harper as the 5th overall RB on his draft board.

I think our whole LB group was one of the worst LB corp in the NFL

So I don’t think you can point out one person and say, he was the problem.

You said the LB corp as a whole was a problem, then said you can't point to a player in that group as a problem.

That’s not right. If the whole group is a problem, especially as awful as ours, then each and every one of them was a problem.

If 2 out of 3 are bad, then the unit as a whole is bad

If 1 out 3 is bad enough, the unit as a whole is bad. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. Etc. So just because the unit performed poorly does not mean each part of the unit is bad.

In some cases yes, in our case no.

If you watch Tulloch’s tape, its pretty clear he sucked in coverage.
Then watch McRath’s tape, and its pretty clear he sucked at everything.
Then watch Spoon’s tape and you will see him make a few big plays early in the year against weak competition, and then completely disappear later.

As bad as our play calling was,

its hard for me to put the play of the players on the coaching staff and not the players themselves. Especially when once (or maybe it was twice) last year it was reported that the defense knew what plays the other team was going to run and STILL couldn’t stop them.

I think we are talking and agreeing on the same thing

Colin McCarthy

Possesses a good feel in the pass game and looks comfortable reading his pass keys, keeping his eyes on the quarterback and quickly putting himself around the football. Likes to be physical in man coverage and does a nice job disrupting the timing of tight ends in the pass game and getting his hands into their frame. However, is a bit stiff in the hips and will struggle to quickly redirect out of his breaks and generate a closing burst toward the football. Too often allows completions to take place around his frame simply because of his inability to quickly change directions and make a play on the throw. Really struggles to hold up in man vs. running backs out of the backfield, and simply lacks the fluidity, change of direction skills and initial burst to keep pace.

Impression: An overrated prospect because of where he plays — Miami — and his above-average straight-line speed. However, he isn’t real impressive in man coverage, isn’t a top-tier tackler and looks more like a reserve type/utility backer to me in the NFL.

That would be

a good, solid group of LBs. Switch up the packages, get Tulloch off the field in passing situations. It’s really not that complicated. I don’t understand why we are the only team that can’t come up with packages where our shitty coverage LBs aren’t put into situations that best suit them.

There's 2 different

by Big Bad Bulluck on May 2, 2011 7:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

Its not as though

every play is a fade all over the field. And you don’t have to be tall, you just have to be near the person and compete for the ball and be physical and put yourself in the best position to make a play. I’ve seen K.C. put Eric Berry on Gates and shit at times and disguise what they were doing. Why can’t we flirt with the idea of having Griffin Roam and Fuller or Robert Johnson or one of these other guys on the TE?

by Big Bad Bulluck on May 2, 2011 7:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

Actually NFL Network was showing the Chargers game from last year

and a couple of plays Griff was covering Gates, he got man handled by Gates the whole time… Granted, its a lot to ask most people on defense to cover one of the greatest TEs to ever play the game, but still we should have had an answer for it, at least to slow him down.

Why bring back Tully he sucked at everything but making tackles after five yard gains. Mcrath only flashed when he was doping and was useless after he got caught. Spoons a stop gap whos not bad but not good either. And none of those guys are more than two down players. Spoon in the middle with Mcarthy and Ayers on the outside. The rooks playing the nickel for sure dont ever want to see those guys from last year again.

I don't think it'll ever go extinct

but I think teams are realizing that you can’t just line-up with a base, nickel and dime look. You have to be able to show multiple fronts and be flexible. 3-4 teams have always had 4-3 formations in the mix, but you didn’t the inverse of that. Now, I think it’s vital for 4-3 defenses to be able to show some 3-4 looks to keep offenses guessing.

And that's what it sounds like Gray wants to do.

Not switch to a 3-4 or run a “hybrid” defense that can play 3-4 or 4-3 any given week, but just be versatile and able to throw different looks at a defense. For the past however-many years, we’ve pretty much had 4 DL, 3 LB and the secondary as our base, every…single…down. Pretty easy to get picked apart when you have that same basic look and can guess (or watch film) where everything will be coming from.

I do, at least in the sense that the scheme, in a strict "4-3" mentality (specifically, Big DE's that can't drop into coverage) will no longer be effective.

It’s a natural evolution. For the longest time the 5-2 was the norm. As the passing game evolved, the game dictated that you needed more coverage, thus the 4-3. It’s natural that the 3-4 would be next.

I suppose the “4-3” could stay with some teams if the edge rusher is down in a 3 point stance more than he’s rushing upright, but at the end of the day I think disguising coverage is going to be more important in each passing year. Part of that means that the ends (if you’re making a concerted effort to be “multiple” on defense) need to be able to drop in to coverage.

by SuperHorn on May 2, 2011 11:42 AM CDT up reply actions  

When watching the draft and looking at our players...

I kept sensing this theme of drafting versatile players. Guys that could fit more than one role. It was even talked about on here, I think.

I hope what that means is that Jerry Gray is going to be willing to run some 4-3 and some 3-4 looks. I’d love to have a defense that could get into a 4-3 or a 3-4 look depending on the situation, rather than just doing away with the 4-3 all together.

extinction?

Naw. The teams that emphasize the 4-3 do so to first and foremost stop the run and free up the LB’s. The 3-4 teams do so to create confusion and rush the passer. Teams that remain in a 4-3 will simply employ more nickel, dime, and quarter packages. This would mean, to me, that substantially more depth at the CB position is paramount.

I view it like this

I also think that schemes are relative to the talent that is coming out of college every year too. The 3-4 was used a lot during the 80s and early 90s with LT and DT in the league but after thatbreaks switched back to the 4-3 because of the talent coming out of colleges.

I don't like to see Tully go.

He wasn’t a big time play maker, but he was as solid a mike backer as you’re going to find as a tackler.

Either way, I don’t want to see witherspoon necessarily slide inside. He was pretty bad last year. I’d rather give Curran a shot or go after a free agent.

God. Damn. Draft. Grades!

Tennessee Titans
Picks: QB Jake Locker, LB Akeem Ayers(notes), DT Jurrell Casey(notes), LB Colin McCarthy(notes), RB Jamie Harper(notes), DT Karl Klug(notes), OT Byron Stingily(notes), DT Zach Clayton(notes), DB Tommie Campbell(notes).
Grade: D
Analysis: The desperation to get as far away from the Vince Young(notes) era forced the Titans to panic at that position as they took Locker at No. 8 overall. This was a reach of stunning proportions. Yes, Locker is a great athlete who many projected to be a high pick in the 2010 draft if he had come out then. However, his senior season was a disaster and he isn’t accurate, a deficiency coaches and executives will tell you is the hardest thing to fix in a quarterback. It’s the reason that guys like Young and Kyle Boller(notes) haven’t made it despite possessing just about every other tangible skill. The Titans rebounded with a good value pick in the second round with Ayers, who some considered a first-rounder. Casey and McCarthy also figure to play a lot very soon.

by asian phil on May 2, 2011 12:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

Trading two picks for an questionmark qb is much better than picking a guy 3 spots before he goes at 12.

I’ve also heard that fixing accuracy is one of the easier things to fix especially if its a footwork issue. Locker’s 70 percent outside the pocket so I doubt it’s a matter of him not being able to place the ball. But if the glamor pusses want to draft the next captain checkdown you won’t hear me crying.

his accuracy issues, IMO, stem from

a poor line and poor receivers. More throw-aways and dropped passes than if he’d have played at a school like USC or UT, simply because those types of schools have better lines and better hands

Draft grades are bogus.

Most of these writers just look for big names and then gives them the top grades. I do want to address the following because it is the biggest, most annoying draft word that gets tossed around. The “reach.”


This was a reach of stunning proportions.

This line always cracks me up because these draft “experts” always seem to go, “Oh, Locker’s the 25th best player on my board, so he should go 25th. He went 8th. Reach! Reach! Reach!”

They fail to address the fact that the Titans do not hold the 25th pick in the draft, and as a result, are either going to have to take Locker at 8 or 39. Contrary to what these people want us to believe, moving up or down actually takes a second team to complete. And to cap it off, there’s that teeny, weeny little issue about either the Redskins or Vikings taking him a few spots later, which may also have thrown a wrench into the Titans’ plan. There is so much flawed logic getting thrown around, especially on the shocking picks.

I liked how they handled it, was actually quite sad throughout.

I like how they made it much more subdued than you would expect and showed some maturity and growth from Michael Scott in how he handled it. Loved the references to prior seasons/episodes, hated the end with Will Ferrell. I’ll probably stick with the show out of some sense of loyalty, but it just won’t be the same without Michael Scott and this would’ve been a perfect series finale.

Having said that…if Dwight/Jim team up against Will Ferrell, that could be interesting.

The more I read Cold, Hard Football Facts, the less I like their work.

If you’re basing a grade strictly on need, this draft deserves an A+, or at least an A. We filled each major hole on our roster, and each round’s pick correlated with importance. First round QB, second round LB, and so on. You could make the case that we needed a WR, but still, if you’re grading on “picks filled needs” the grade should at least be an A.

The more I read about Tommie Campbell, the more I hope he makes this roster.

He made mistakes, sure, but nothing illegal nor Pacman-level stupidity. Sounds like he’s matured and has a good perspective on it now. Also sounds like he will do absolutely anything to make it as a football player. I’ll be rooting for him in training camp/preseason.

Good evening. I'm Ron Burgundy, and here's what's happening in your world tonight.

ANyone see Peter King's MMQB?

The pic on oage one is AWESOME! Hall running on the field with the American Flag! That pic has to somehow make it to this blog. If for any reason than yesterday’s accomplishment.

Seriously STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM.

For the good of this blog, either talk about the Titans or find a VY blog to discuss his cooking recipes.

Seriously I don't care anymore about Vince Young.

The rumours, the speculation, the discussion, ALL OF IT. Its really annoying to still see you bringing him up. He’s no longer part of the team.

Geez,

fantastic video of him. This team is so extremely talented. We blew an opportunity last season. We were good, but I guess we quit playing with that fire underneath us.

There still is a LOT of talent on this team.

Let’s get a start going like last season ;)

GO TITANS!!!

I still say try

and keep Tulloch. With a change of scheme and some different personnel packages in certain situations he would be a very good LB.

by Big Bad Bulluck on May 2, 2011 6:56 PM CDT reply actions  

Tully is my fav LB

He’s a brick wall wrap up tackler.
he forced a fumble and had a pick

I like Tully too

It would be nice to see Tully back but I think he wants more money than they’re going to give him.

I’d rather have a guy that makes tackles in the middle and comes off the field on 3rd down then guys that get run over but stay on the field for coverage.

by -E-rock on May 2, 2011 8:29 PM CDT up reply actions  

Might I Also Suggest Overpaying of Keith Bullock??

By which I mean going out and saying:

“Keith, we know we screwed up. We miss you. Here’s more than you’re going to get somewhere else because even though you are older and slower, you’re still a damn good player and a Leader unlike anyone we have on our roster. So come back home. You’re a Titans guy and we need you.”

by -E-rock on May 2, 2011 8:33 PM CDT reply actions  

I kind of am.

Spoon wasn’t by any means an upgrade and at worst we move him to the middle.

I’m not saying break the bank but I don’t see how this isn’t a good idea.

by -E-rock on May 2, 2011 9:29 PM CDT up reply actions  

LOL my bad

didn’t notice my little spelling error there.

Usually I just yell

Bulluck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But for some reason you seemed kinda like a genuine fan making a heart felt pitch… So I was trying to be more kind

by Big Bad Bulluck on May 4, 2011 3:14 PM CDT up reply actions  

although, he could probably do worse

Hell I’d consider it, she’s still hot.

he could have just one leg and still be better than our current options.

he can be slower but can read an offense.
mcrath is faster but is always lost on the field.
spoon is also on the down part of his career.
and of course none of them is the leader KB is.
