Titans sign Eric Weems

I too was hoping for patterson, he could have also added something on offense as well. Fine and glad that we are upgrading special teams but there are major needs on defense and at wr

 

Patterson is not a J-Rob kind of guy. The guy sucks in the passing game but still whines for the ball.

 

12 total special teams tackles ranked fifth in the league

"Paying particular attention to special teams in the first 24 hours of free agency, the Titans have signed former Falcon Eric Weems, following Thursday’s signings of Brendan Trawick and Daren Bates. Weems played only 20 offensive snaps in 2016, but saw extensive work as a returner and on kickoff and punt coverage teams (he made PFF’s list of the best special-teamers of 2016). Marc Mariani, Tennessee’s leading returner last season, is a free agent, so Weems fills an obvious need, and collectively the Titans ranked 18th in special teams grading. Weems has graded positively in every season of his career as a special-teamer. — Harley Sherman, @PFF_Harley"

Trawick was also on the list of best special teamers,

 

Another good depth/st signing.

 

I just don't get it...from a pure numbers perspective we have now signed 3 guys that take up roster spots as Special Teamers without any possibility of being backups or depth at DB and WR.

this is like signing multiple kickers or long snappers, literally they have zero other purpose. WTF.

 

Weems will be like WR6. Takes Mariani's.

Trawick has Staffords spot, played some safety for the Raiders down the line. Looked decent doing it supposedly.

Daren Bates I don't know if he can play defense or not lol

 

I swear if one more person justifies a signing by quoting PFF, I'm going to lose my ****.

Those rankings are ass. The only reason they are brought up is because they are the only organization that does them.

 

it's still a more reliable source of information than listening to a titans fan that watched a few youtube videos.

 

Weems played in 16 games last year and had 17 KRs. Played in 16 games in 2015 and returned 15 KRs. 43 combined punt returns in those two years.

Awesome.

 

But..but...he's a JRob kind of guy...
