The Titans also appear to have sorted out their depth chart at wide receiver. Veteran Eric Moulds, who has had an excellent camp, is one starter. Roydell Williams, fresh off a four-catch effort against the Bills, is the other. Williams is a better deep threat than Brandon Jones, who will see plenty of action as a possession receiver on third downs.

:irked: Anyone else absolutely pissed off at this?

Everyone mark out for BJ to have a breakout game against the Pack tomorrow. Maybe this is his last chance to be the starter.

I don't think Fox knows squat not that it matters. The WRs who are productive with their opportunities are going to get the work.

nope .....

I want the best group of guys on the field at all times

I'd be more pissed off that a guy is on the field just because he appeared to be the most promising guy 6 months ago, but has shown little since

as I've seen so far (camps and pre-games)
Eric Moulds
Roydell Williams
Chris Davis
are your starting 3

Yeah I heard about this a few days ago....it sucks. I expect Brandon and ROydell to be 1 and 2 a few weeks into the season, though.

Maybe Brandon in the slot will be better for him?

Idk. If he doesn't start im going to be a little mad.. I mean he was the most productive receiver last year currently on the team. He deserves the job. If he cant preform well then give it to someone else. But dont just throw him out of the picture. Making Roydell a starter? What because he had a good camp and a good game against a not so great defense? Come on.. Brandon is better then Roydell. Eric Moulds is 90 years old and has 1 catch.

More and more I think about this the more I think were doomed. Bo Scaife better be ready to catch 100 balls this season.

---Brandon Jones, who will see plenty of action as a possession receiver on thi-d downs.---

Brandon Jones = Chris Sanders ?

the only way that happens is if we cut Moulds
the guy has just looked too good
and is by far the most experienced wideout on roster

the one catch where he went up and caught it behind his head (which was knocked out) showed me that he needs to be on the field

At this point in his career, Moulds is strictly a possession receiver. We need to let Jones and WIlliams develop and have Eric come in on 3rd down. Jones and Young had chemistry, you cant deny that. WHen two players have chemistry, they need to always be on the field.

. But dont just throw him out of the picture.

he's not

he's going to be in on plenty of 3rd down packages

right now, i don't care if BJ starts, doesn't start, or even gets cut...

judging by the preseason play, I don't think any of the WR's have solidified a guaranteed starting spot...or roster spot for that matter....

I'll let the season play out before I'm very opinionated on who should start at WR..

I just dont like how Roydell got the start over him for doing nothing. Even if Roydell is better its still not fair. BJ has at least got a few touchdowns in his career. Last year he showed flashes of a future VY to BJ connection on a weekly basis. But no he loses his job cuz someone was better in camp. WOW

At this point in his career, Moulds is strictly a possession receiver.

that's all we need him to be
that's what Derrick Mason was for us

remember, we are a running / clock management team first
we do not need a guy to catch 100 balls for 1300 yards

Mason was a possession receiver but also caught 100 balls a year. Moulds wont even catch 30 this year. Lendale better stock up on Zeba Cakes. Cuz hes gonna have to be getting that run game going big time.

Exactly. This isn't based off a media release from the Titans or a quote from Fisher. This is based off some knucklehead who had a look at the box score the other night, saw Roydell Williams did well with the starting offense and figured that he is now our #2 receiver.

Better be

I hope we work hard on the WR position next year. Just take a few higher-tier gambles (significantly higher than 4th round draft pick and Eric Moulds), draft picks and/or FA's, and try to find a hit. Part of it is just luck, but the other is taking legitimate chances at finding talent at those positions by bringing in larger and higher-profile pools. We all agree the FO wants nothing more than to find a good WR, but we've got to take some bigger risks at that position and DE, hit or miss, before we wind up wasting what could be very good offensive and defensive units (if those positions were filled legitimate starters).

RT....calm down turbo...

:))

I still think Roydell is better the BJ

Ryan, I am going on a limb here, but I bet you drafted him in a bunch of leagues huh?

Look guys- a 3rd down WR is NOT less valuable than a 1 or 2. It is just putting his skills in a more likely situation to help us make the most out of him. Having a deep threat in on 1st and 2nd downs will help create opportunities in other areas. BJ is good and valued- he just doesn't have the deep wheels that R. Williams appears to have. I'll bet BJ winds up with as many (and probably more) catches than R. Williams or Moulds.

My main Yahoo league. :grrhee: You know me too well. :ha: Personally I dont care if he starts or not. I wasted a draft pick. Oh well. Round 13.

But no he loses his job cuz someone was better in camp. WOW


WOW, the fact that you actually wrote that and still are arguing this point is irrevocable. If someone is having a better camp, he deserves to be moving up the depth chart as opposed to moving down it. Moulds is a guy we need on the field as much as possible, he may not be a game changer, but at least he can make some catches and be a calming presence for Vince. He is the most physical WR on the roster and probably has the best hands with the way he protects the ball with his body. If you're not getting the job done in practice and the pre-season, what makes you think Jones will get the job done during the season? He needs to build off of the end of last year, he hasn't seemed to do that, ever since the OTAs.

I wish this were the case on the defensive side of the ball, what does it take to start CFinnegan at CB and play the best player at Safety?

i drafted him :(

WOW, the fact that you actually wrote that and still are arguing this point is irrevocable.

Why can't he revoke it?

At this point Moulds has done nothing to show why he should be a starter for us.

1 catch in 3 games....yeah he should be our starter!

Not a good year for the Joneses.

The games haven't counted yet. I wouldn't write him off just yet. In "real" games, even last year in Houston, he was much more productive than the other guys on our roster have been.

I am comfortable with our top 3 outside receivers being a combination of Moulds, Roydell and B.Jones, however that pans out.

I had brandon jones our number 1 receiver and justin gage our number 2, It might be a good thing, because brandon jones could hold his own with drew bennett and bobby wade (who wasnt very good but they were our most productive receivers), if he cant start outta the guyz we have, maybe we have some good receivers. Brandon jones looked good last year in what little playing time he got. I also think its funny how we havent heard nothing outta drew bennett nor bobby wade this whole preseason. that first week is the last time i heard about them.

I hope he starts. If he was pregnant that would suck. He'd be out the whole season. Even if we made the playoffs he'd showing by mid-December. Like he'd play knocked up anyways! :doh:

Moulds hasn't done crap. How is he starting other than for us paying him? It should be Roydell or Jones at #1 the other at #2 and Chris Davis at #3.

As I read the article, Moulds is one starter, Williams is the other.. Williams is the speedy downfield receiver and Moulds is the steady possession receiver to complement him.. the slot will be either Jones or Davis.. that's 4 receivers, and for sure Jones backs up Moulds...now it will be interesting to see who backs up R Williams??

Roydell and Jones should start, Moulds is slot on 3rd down, P Williams as 4th when in the shotty

Paul Williams might not even make the team. I would presume Gage or Ealy backs him up, depending on who survives. I guess it all depends on who is still around. I won't write PW off completely, but I've seen more out of Gage and Ealy than PW.

Now I know Fisher is opening up positions to competition, but don't believe that the preseason games are the only thing they are looking at. They saw what BJones can do last year, and Moulds has been quiet in games but shown plenty in practice. VY was out of the 1st game, everything fell apart in the 2nd, so there's really only been 1 game to judge receivers. As with the RBs, if a receiver gets hot early in the season they'll stick with him. So even if Moulds and Roydell start in JAX, there's no reason Jones and [insert favorite receiver here] can't be starting by game 3. Who ever is good will play - and if they don't break out then they shouldn't have been starting anyway.

Id say brandon jones is makin a case for himself tonight.

I'd like to see Jones and Williams as the starters with Molds being the 3rd down possesion guy. Moulds simply doesn't have the speed to get down field anymore.

:werd:

Jones simply had too much rapport with VY last year to not be starting. Williams has been the standout this preseason. They have to be the 2 starters - let Moulds and Davis be the possession guys, and use them to soften up the middle when we get 8 in the box.
