    You hear it called a "Copycat League" all the time....cause once something propels a team to a Championship, other teams take notice and try to emulate it. Carolina had one of the most prolific offenses in the nation, but it looked very average against Wade Phillips defense and those pass rushers. Problem for them going forward is, Ware is making a lot and now they are going to have to pay Von Miller a truck-load to keep him around.

    Wade Phillips was on the radio this morning, and he was asked the question what he thought was most important to the game last night and the sacks that were taken. Question- is it the secondary or the pass rush that made it possible? Answer- "One lives off the other, and you can't have game changing sacks without having both." Where is the Titans D weakest? It is the secondary. The fumble for TD was a quasi coverage sack. Miller got to Newton quickly, but he had enough time to get the ball out, but nowhere to go.

    They have been taken in the Top 3 a LOT, though, and if you need a OT and someone like an Orlando Pace is sitting there, you take him. We'll have to see what Robinson does in FA. If he lands Okung and some others like Alshon Jeffrey, then we'll know he ain't playing around. It's going to be tough sledding for him though.

    What REALLY grinds my gears more than the hiring of Mularkey, was the Lorax tasked to search high and low for a new CEO President, and ending up hiring himself. What kind of crap is that?! If Amy Strunk would have waited a bit until after the Superbowl, they could have gone after Peyton for that position....sort of a similar role as Elway at the Broncos. I think Peyton would have relished that. But the Lorax knew that would put himself out of a job, so he cock-blocked Peyton.

    With Manning at the controls, it would have made Robinson's job much, much easier. But instead, we get the out-of-control mustache.

    I was just looking at available DE/OLB FAs. It is a little light for top flight, but there are some available rushers in there. We are not landing Miller. Bruce Irvin is on the market, and so is John Simon. Yeah, it is a bit thin, but as of now I still am not on board with Bosa at #1.

    On another note to our discussion that lends ear to @TitanUpB4UGO , this years draft is historically stacked for DBs. There are several studs on the blocks this year. I just want the true stud!
