Why the Titans are who we thought they are

Thats the reason why I'm so high on Mett. He sits in the pocket like a vet, doesn't rattle easy, and throws with accuarcy. Would like to see the ball out of his faster and better movement in the pocket.

 

that all comes with time. the more he plays the better he should look

 

I'm fine going forward with Mett. Let's not forget he was a 6th round pick for a reason (more talented than a 6th round pick though). As long as I see improvement week to week from him.

 

Baggage and all yes he ended up being a 6th rounder, but if you break him down and look only at the football player, he's waay better than a 6th rounder.

His biggest red flag was a knee injury (guy cant run anyways, he doesn't even need knees), Im thinking that torn ACL was a blessing for Titan fans. Without the injury, no way he's ever there in the 6th for us to swoop in to draft.

 

Obviously subjective, I don't see remarkable power, burst or straight line (break-away) speed. That said, his best attribute is his vision. He DOES get that extra yard or two down-hill. His hands seem OK- but we haven't seen a lot of slip or bubble screens with him. Maybe we'll see something better if Whiz gets him in open space or our OL miraculously improves.

 

I like the way he climbs the pocket calmly. The other two seemed very rattled when the pocket came back to them. They acted as if they didn't have an option to climb the pocket. Hopefully this will continue and Mett will pick them apart.

 

You know what I think happened with Jake not being great in the pocket... I think he spent all his time in the pocket counting in his head and thinking "when I count to 3 the ball needs to be gone". Doing that doesn't allow you to see whats really happening.

Mettenberger on the other hand looked at times like he wasn't even identifying the mike LB, he was just coming to the line looking around at the women in the stands. This savvy approach might seem negligent on his part, but it keeps him from thinking too much, he allows time for plays to develop.

I dont really know if any of this is true, but it looks that way. Mett has that confidence that he's going to make a play. I didnt get that feeling this year from Jake til the Cleveland game, and never from Charlie.

 

It's sad that I feel like I can draft better than Webster & Scouts, who combined get paid MILLIONS to do it. Seriously, it's just a joke how awful this franchise is at drafting.

 

this forum seriously has at least 5 guys who could become scouts

Ive always questioned our scouts, they get too close to the players and give Webster bad advice
