    And Tennessee has plenty of embarrassing plays to choose from as "most embarrassing". This one is up there for 2016, but I Darius Reynaud spotting a safety on the season's opening kickoff was more embarrassing.

    That makes it a GM bust, not the players fault he was drafted early. was he worth a 4th how he's been used? Hell no. But what RB did we have that did anything with Bostad coaching and Schwenke at C? Bad all around.

    Fowler is a good football player. That play was telegraphed from the pre-snap. NOBODY was going through that "gap". Fowler will make some plays this year.

    Doesn't even rank in our top 100 embarrassing plays... It was a 2 point conversion, no harm in bouncing it outside/backward.


    Also you guys overrate a fourth round pick. Who cares. It came free with the trade back with DGB. He was solid when he plays I'll still back the pick.

    20 yards. He ran 20 yards backwards. My five-year-old niece knows not to do that in Madden.
    A fourth round pick is too high for a fullback. I had a list of the FBs in the league and where they were drafted floating around on the site somewhere. He was one of the highest drafted ones. If he doesn't turn out to be the best FB in the league it was a reach, and even if he is the best FB in the league he will play 40% of the offensive snaps.

    Bad pick.

    Yeah he's good. Like Craig Stevens. These guys are good draft picks with the goal of 5 or less wins a season.

    What is the difference between a good FB and an average one in today's NFL? I'd wager not a single win.

    20 yards backwards has the same consequences as falling down at the 1 there. It was a 2 point conversion. Inconsequential.

    Bucs traded up for a kicker in the second round this year, the pats drafted a longsnapper in the 5th? this year, kick/punt returners get drafted regularly in the late rounds.

    Instead we got Dorial Green Beckham with Fowler thrown in for the 34th pick last year.

    Literally a fourth round pick.

    Picked a random draft (2012) and look at the fourth rounders. Theres maybe 5 guys who amounted to anything (Miller, Jones, Benjamin, Cousins... then some arguable ones). And they were all at the top of the round.

    If Fowler ends up our starting FB and plays a solid 40% snaps it will be a good pick.

    Still too early to tell if hes any good or not though. I thought he played fine and he dealt with a minor injury.

    It's the decision making that makes it worse. He's a FB. He's not going to give ground to gain ground.

    Yep. Those were bad picks too.
