    The only other LB that I would take other than Bulluck would be Merriman

    I can't believe this thread......... first of all.....


    1. Posters saying they would rather have Porter and Merriman???? Over Bulluck?????Yeeeeeaaayyyyyyy. I would love to see those guys drop into coverage on D. Clark or any other TE for that matter. Guys there is a difference in a 3-4 OLB and a 4-3 LB. Merriman is a DE in our scheme and Porter's an aging tweener who would be MLB here.Just the same I would love Peppers but he's already stated that he wants to go to a 3-4 team so he can stand up and rush the passer. You could make an arguement we need to change schemes ...... catch up to the rest of the league in the 3-4 but right now now of these players should be considered. They all want sacks and besides Peppers they would be useless here.

    2. Someone said if we have the same defense we're screwed next year. Well yes we need some key players but this is the same defense as 07 without Haynesworth. Our LB's weren't the problem, our DB's weren't the problem ( well except for Nick Harper who plays the run especially well), it was the dline and it's push. Get us a big body with push .... maybe a Wilfork or Hampton ( I know they're both NT's but the market's thin) and I guarantee we'll have a secondary of probowlers and no one will be talking of Bulluck's play. What happened when we played San Diego without Bulluck? We got eaten alive. Remember Antonio Gates's 40 yard pitch and catch from Rivers over I believe it was Keglar? Wouldn't have happened with Bulluck.

    With a steady push in the middle and a returner on special teams we were a 10-6 11-5 team last year.

    Lets' not forget those unanswered points when we played Miami when he went out and they didn't look so hot aganist Seatte, Seattle!?!?

    FO could offer him a 1 yr incentive driven deal. To have any hope of playoff and a SB we need some experince on that dline other wise I don't see it IMO.

    This D needs to be held accountable. Who on our D will enforce things if Bulluck is gone? Hope, Finnegan, Brown? No one plays as high a level as Keith, and no one we currently have can demand more from each payer than Keith can. You can't swap leaders out. Merriman can't come in and become the sheriff, we need Bulluck back. He's never been hurt like this, and when he was dinged up he's healed quickly and moved past it. I'd give him a 1-year deal right now, and keep an eye on McRath's offseason progress.

    Say what you want Fightin' Titan, but Keith can't even work out right now. Merriman and Porter are healthy and are better than Keith right now.

    Sure they are 3-4 LBs and that's a whole different scheme but the guys can still ball.

    I'd take Merriman at DE over KVB, and I'd take Porter at MLB over Tulloch too. I love Keith so make no mistake about that. But dude isn't 100% right now and might not make it back to 100% by the time the season kicks off.

    As I mentioned I love Keith but I love the Titans more and I wanna win. Keith might not be our best option at LB this year. And to keep him on just to keep him on doesn't help us win.

    We're the Tennessee Titans not the Tennessee Tossers

    There's no place for douches like Porter and Nandraloneman on this team.

    I'm with Fightin'Titan we need an interior d/line upgrade.

    Porter and Merriman aren't high "character" guys that Fisher can handle coaching, I'm still saying that they're bad@ss players that are still really good and better than Keith at this point.

    Funny because before the season started Keith was talking that he was gone anyway. What's the difference?

    Porter is a pure pass rusher and not what wee need at OLB.

    Merriman is still living off of his reputation from before he got busted and injured. He han't been all that in the last two seasons.
