    He... he hand picked Blake and mccain from his Pittsburgh days. As well as Spence. Might be others than I'm forgetting even.

    The front end of the defense was fine, his stunt and pressure plays were great, we just couldn't cover anyone.

    Cyp doesn't fix that guys... he's more run help.

    Well there is a long way until the season starts... lots of things can happen between now and then.

    Finally, someone gets it. The season doesn't start tomorrow, a lot can happen between now and then.

    And anyone freaking out over losing a backup LB, C, and DT needs to get their head checked. Those are replacement level players for a reason. If we lost Lewan, Marcus, Orakpo, or Casey your cause for concern would be noted, but we didn't. Instead we added starters and lost a few depth guys that will likely get replaced in the draft.

    Just like we've drafted Schwenke/Spence replacements thus far?

    Tretolla was our 5th G, and doesn't have any experience at C. That's your plan right?

    Why create a need when you could be drafting BPA?

    Exactly. Not only that but those guys have the chance to start in Indy. That wasn't happening here

    How is it the Titans fault for losing a backup to a team he may start on?

    This thread is reminding me of last season when Mularkey was announced as the official HC.

    Hey, I was part of that, I'll admit.

    What are you even talking about? Schwenke proved he wasn't a capable starter, so he was relegated to being a mediocre backup. We could sign any number of guys off a practice squad, draft a player, or just bring in some veteran to fill that spot if the OL coaching staff says they need someone.

    Spence was a nickel LB. Would I have liked to have him back? Sure. But who's to say Traewick or someone from the draft can't fill his spot just as well? I'm not losing any sleep over some middle of the road LB leaving. Again, there's plenty of mediocre FA's out there we could sign after the draft if we don't get a LB who can play nickel.

    Here's the plan: go into the draft, get as many good players as you can, then evaluate the team after and fill in holes from there. You don't finish your roster before the draft. Hell, some of these undrafted rookie OL can be good players too! Where do you think Spain came from?

    That's where we differ. I say clean up your house early in free agency by bringing in solid starters at positions of need, then drafting Best Player available.

    We just disagree on drafting to fill needs and drafting BPA luxury picks.
