    2012-Whitney Mercilus (Texans) picked 26th: Currently has 13 sacks in 2yrs on a team that he does not see the field as much because they are loaded with pass rushers

    Chandler Jones (Patriots) Picked 21st: 20 sacks 4 FF in 2yrs

    That's just off the top of my head with no real research. If we go back to 2011 when Reinfeldt was GM. Webster was said to have had heavy influence over the draft due to the absence of Fisher who had personnel control in his tenure as HC. In 2011 JJ Watt, Robert Quinn, Ryan Kerrigan (30.5 sacks 11 FF), Cameron Jordon, & Muhammad Wilkerson all go after we picked Locker. All posting at least one double digit sack season, and a few of them posting double digits each year.

    Again most of that is just off the top of my head. I could be wrong on a couple of these guys. I do not think I am off by much though.

    We had several chances for a great pass rusher. Our GM & Scouts have not found them.

    while I agree with you the edge guys in a 43 are different critters than edge guys in a 34

    43 DEs are smaller, more like huge LBs
    34 DEs are bigger, more like mini DTs


    and all Im saying is that the switch bought Webster time and an escuse. Im not at all saying its acceptable, but with Wizenhunts 5 year deal you might as well drink the koolaide - LOL

    Well my point is exactly you can't really blame not getting a top pass rusher on Webster. Yes he could have drafted Mercily or Jones, but we needed a WR and we got a pretty good one in Wright. Now Reinfeldt is a different case...

    And stating Chance Warmack is a scrub is hyperbole.

    Im wondering something, how many Titans live in Nashville most the year?

    Because I know for a fact we have players leaving town on Mondays to fly home to see their families for a day or two, then flying back to Nashville for Wednesday practice.

    That sure as hell can't be good for a team trying to come together under a new coaching regime..... Im just curious if we have more guys leaving town than winning teams do.
