    Ben was a very promising prospect and his first two years were great. What happened after that? Was it the addition of VY and the fact that he loves Scaife? Or was he hurt or fall out of grace with Fisher?

    I'm new to the area and I'm excited about the Titans. Just wanted to get some fan insight on the Toupe situation. Thanks.

    to say he's dumb as a brick would be an insult to bricks everywhere.

    troupe was a great talent coming out of college and had everything a tight end needed to succeed in this game.

    he just never worked out.

    it happens to every franchise out there. we saw it ourselves with tyrone calico, andre woolfolk, and (its a stretch) peter sirmon

    very good points scottie. I mean it happens look at DeBrickashaw Ferguson, hes trash. Its part of the game, pick on potential and pray for the best. Troupe as far as i know is still in titans uniform and when we resign Scaife, cause everyone knows its gonna happen he will have a chance to redeem himself, and maybe learn a thing or two from Alge.

    Yeah but the guy had 859 yards his first two years. That's impressive and up to that point he lived up to his draft status. Something happened in his third year. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

    from the couple games i went to last year that he played in i noticed that he didn't know how to get open when vince scrambled.

    he may just be better for a pocket passer which is what he had in mcnair is first 2 years.

    Been troupe was very good when Volek was throwing, but then again, who wasn't?
    Troupe will probably go somewhere else and make a name for himself. Its obvious Fisher doesn't know how to use the guy. Or maybe it was Chow. He was good for Heimerdinger.

    im actually mad we didnt reisgn him...u need 3 TEs....i'd be very happy with a recovered crumpler (and bo n ben in the wing)


    his main problems centered around droppin passes and lack of blockin skill...but yeh as for speed an athleticism he had it...i posted 3 pic of him literally jumpin over defenders....the man could jump..(defenders espeically tackle low on TEs..often teh biggest ball carriers on the field...an he would use that against them by simply gettin air)
