Why did the Titans draft Fowler?

Problem I have with Sankey is he has nothing to point towards.. I mean, he isnt a smash mouth player, he isnt a finesse player. He doesn't have speed, cuts, strength, etc. Good enough for the college level, but nothing to help him on the pro level.

 

Fowler is a big back. He's a better power runner than Cobb and he's a lock on the roster already.

I'm completely OK to trade Sankey if we can get something. I'm not fanatic about him, but I do think he is clearly the best option we have for #3, particularly if his ST's play is better and mind is "tougher".

 

Let's be honest- Andrews is not any better, just more "tough minded". And DMC is a single purpose returner. We don't need his fragile speed in the backfield.

That leaves Fluellen and Cobb. And I've seen more from Sankey than either one of them.

 

I think Sankey is gonna fall into that "best of the rest" category and make the roster. I don't think he offers a whole lot, but neither do the rest so maybe the best move would be to just keep the cheapest.

Fowler was apart of 5 of these runs. He takes care of his guy every time. Really hope we use the I-form a lot this season cause Fowler is looking really solid as a blocker.

Haven't seen any of his so called receiving talents though. I thought he'd be able to move more like an H-back.

 

They even had Byard returning kicks, which in GM speak is, find someone else that can do it so we can cut one of these other guys.

 

Just watched Henry's carries and Fowler was beasting, noticed Kelley looking solid on a few plays too.

 

Fowler is nasty.....love it

 

Sankey has good hands, very natural pass catcher. IMO, he provides more value and upside than McCluster, Andrews or Cobb. I'd like to see him as RB #3.

 

Wow Fowler opened all of those holes with sheer power. The one play Fowler wasn't in, Henry got tackled for no gain. I've said it a thousand times on this board, the Fowler pick was a great pick and the dudes a beast.
