    I'd love me some Vontaze Burfict, Justin Blackmon, or Kelechi Osemele in the first round. Then would want T.J. McDonald in the 2nd. But how did this get to an NFL Draft Debate?

    I'd say we need to start trying out some subs in our interior. We have some young players in Velaso & Matthews. Lets try them out, see if they're anything. If not, OG/OC will be our #1 biggest need.

    Threads start to wonder when no one disagrees with you. I think that the entire Titans fan base would agree that we, as a whole, hate Eugene Amano at center. I doubt anyone disagrees the Velaso would do better (Can't do worse that's for sure). Therefor the discussion shifted to how to fix the OL long term.

    But I agree that if Velaso does well against the Steelers (I'm assuming that Harris will be out next week. Does anyone know how bad his injury is?) then he needs to take either Amano's or Harris' job (preferably Amano's).

    No updates yet. Tuesdays are normally when team start to annouce how bad injuries are. I'm sure we'll have an update today.

    Amano has been a liability for a while and Harris though he was promising to start , hasn't really shown the improvement that I thought he had in him.

    In fact I thought that the real reason we signed Matt Hasselbeck so that he could get a real good close-up of Eugene's arse when the pocket collapses up the middle as usual , BUT .... this year his pass blocking has been better although his run blocking still stinks.

    Was week 4 his first week without at least one hold too ? I hope Munch gave him the gameball.

    I'm all for a high draftee to get rid of one or either. However , no-one has mentioned Kevin Matthews. Is Bruce's boy doing well on the PS ? I'd take a wager that he's being groomed for a spell if he's capable at C or can be switched to G.

    unfortunately i dont think he's doing that great.... i think he was one of the finalists of being cut at the end and he's always not dressed... i really wish he could live up to his family's name

    If you're guaranteed a bundle, why do that to yourself? Money speaks louder than honor. always has for most people. I hope to be wrong on this opinion, but nothing so far has shown that I am. As far as Munchak not being aware that some of his players are not doing the job, armchair analysts are a dime a dozen, me being one! :D

    It's funny you mention a lineman from UGA because just this week I heard that out of every o-line in college OR pros the University of Georgia has the biggest line. That's a crazy stat.

    I agree interior line is a major need for us in the draft but I think another offensive weapon is a bigger need. I think we have to start considering Britt an added bonus if he's healthy and not depend on him to be there every game. We need to go WR round 1 and there's some great talent this year at that position.

    Well I get responses back from other Titan players, along with celebs. C.J. couldn't say anything smart, that's why he didn't reply to my tweets to him last week.

    What could he possibly say to me that wouldn't make him look dumb? There's nothing... Up til last game, he's sucked, and he knows it.
