    Both undrafted, both from the SEC, these guys didn't make the team because they brought the coach an apple, they earned it, and this is not a bad Titans team, the playoffs are very possible with the likes of Chris Johnson on your team, and this young Defense will grow up early if they can pull off an early upset or two, look for Sheppard to move into the DE rotation early and often.................gunny ?

    Well considering we heard more about Gage's training camp than we did these guys', or their preseasons at that rate, I think it's pretty safe to say Hawkins and Sheppard are roster spots we kept for depth.

    I don't know much about either, but we've got a new coaching philosophy that might play younger players if they have the skills. Klug and Ayers earned themselves starting spots possibly and I wouldn't be suprised if I saw Harper and Casey on the field some too.

    It's tough to say I expect to see either on the field much this year, but do to injuries this season, you never know. I'm hoping that our depth this year is solid.

    I wasn't very impressed with either in preseason, but they must have shown something.

    Just because they are SEC guys doesnt mean they are good automatically. The SEC is the reason college football is about to go crazy with teams leaving their conferences. I hope these guys do good. But enough about the SEC. Yeah they are good. Did they manage to squeeze the last 2 national championships because of fluke incidents. Colt McCoy hurt, and the rb for auburn running on a play that was unnoficially dead. Just cause SEC doesnt mean they are good

    That is a myth that Fisher wouldn't play younger players.

    I don't see how either of these guys will play unless we have some injuries.

    Chris Hawkins was spanked in the third game. I was surprised to see him make the cut.

    The SEC provides the NFL with TONS of overrated garbage, so we can toss that tidbit out.




    Don't know either of these guys, though... guessing just depth.
