    I really like that David Molk kid from Michigan, but he has a lot of injuries.

    You're right, Harris sucked too, but he's only sucked this year, Amano has always sucked IMO.

    The difference with him in the game and out was night and day. So yeah... he's really good. But... yep. Injury concerns.

    You make some very good points about Amano and I agree. Amano gets bashed for his OG play and there is no basis for it. The reality is Amano might not have been the pass protector Scott was but he was the better run blocker when he played OG. His performance at OG was obviously one of the main reasons our HOF OG coach thought moving him to C and giving him a big contract were good moves. Harris is the one who has been a dissapointment. The Titans obviously don't have a huge amount of confidence in him or he would have been given a deal more like Amano's last year to be the longer term solution at LG. They gave him a fairly cheap 2 yr deal. It wouldn't surprise me at all if their plan is to replace Scott with some like Hutch, sign a C like Wells/Meyers and then move Amano right back to LG. I don't think it is a lock that Amano gets cut just because we sign another C. Granted he might have to earn his spot by beating out Harris (in his last year) and Velasco but I bet he gets that opportunity. Amano was solid in 2009 and made numerous key blocks to help CJ run for 2000 yards.
    Keep in mind Amano has three years left on his deal and Harris only has one and they paid Amano twice what they paid Harris. Also keep in mind both players are OG/C so I do think it is pretty obvious they like Amano better. IMO Velasco is a cheaper backup than Harris so he might be the odd man out if he can't win a a starting job. They actually save more CAP space letting him go since he is in the last year of his contract. Amano is actually a cheap option at LG to keep since his yearly salaries are not real high going forward.

    What's the status on Hutchinson and Myers? I mean, Hutch was in a car with Munchak yesterday and we're "negotiating" with Myers...

    Found on ESPN that we are now making C Scott Wells our top priority because he is cheaper than Myers. Wells is from Nashville so as long as we pay him he most likely will come here.
