    I just don't understand why Joe Barksdale isn't a Tennessee Titan. He's only 26 and is coming off two good seasons in STL. I'd sign him for a 3 year deal, he could come in and play his prime years here. Allows Poutassi to compete for LG. Byron Bell is a solid backup.

    How are you guys all suddenly experts on Poutassi playing guard? I'm assuming they drafted him with the hope of being the starting RT.

    Look if you're going to cast your hopes and dreams with Bishop my longest run was under 30 yards Sankey, you might as well give Poutassi a shot. Rb will be weakest or WR, because we're the titans and can't manage a high powered offense.

    Definitely should have signed Barksdale over Bell

    Using our new, shiny blocking FB is going to help out the line quite abit IMO.

    We def drafted him to play RT. Most "experts" think he has slow feet and hips, struggles against speed rushers, needs to lose a little weight and add some quickness. If he does that, he could be a solid RT.

    Barkesdale signed I think a one year deal with the Chargers , so he's off the board.

    So as expected we're terrible at the RT spot. I have little hope Meredith can be the answer so lets look ahead to next years FA Tackles.

    Here's a list of good Tackles scheduled to hit the market next year.

    Panthers Mike Remmers
    Cardinals Bobby Massie (history of PED's)
    Falcons Ryan Schraeder (might cost us a draft pick if tendered)

    The Bengals have three Tackles with expiring contracts, Andre Smith, Andrew Whitworth, and Eric Winston, surely one of them wants to leave for Tennessee?

    There will be options, we could also draft one but I think fans would leave if we use a high pick on a RT.
