if the offensive line struggles again this year ballard should go .   he had every chance to fix it and ignored it only drafting one player mid round

I'm hoping we can snag a decent G at roster cutdowns. There's always a few vets that get cut that could start on a lot of teams.

for a preseason game, I like it.  Shane actually adjusted and it didn’t take him a half to do it.  Going to look even better we start utilizing ARs legs.  

 

I wrote that after that series when the Colts went for it on 4th down. I thought they should have utilized AR to run or pass. I think they ran the RB all 4 downs, if I am not mistaken. But I liked the playcalling afterwards. AR looks good. He seemed poised.

How is Levis doing?

 

He is doing okay. He is 5 of 7 for 50 yards, no TD or INT, sacked twice. He led the team to a TD.  The Titans are alternating Willis and Levis.  WIllis has similar stats but he threw an INT.

Ekiyor needs to realize his days of lining up against the likes of Vandy and South Carolina are over now. There were a couple of plays where he got absolutely blasted. I'm hoping he steps up and ends up being a steal for us.

I've wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt when he graded out well at C, but he's been just bad since then.

Yeah... a year ago I thought we can move him to center and free up some money from Kelly, but ... no... just NO!

real season, that’s definitely a QB sneak.  I’m not worried.  And hopefully we’ll have JT.

Especially the second unit... the first unit I thought was OK. Especially since they were playing against the starters of the Bills. 

Yea first team looked solid and Braden Smith coming back will make it look even better.

    • True, but I see him more as a slot guy with the other receivers we have on this team when they are all healthy.  Just my .02.
    • No for me.  Alec is a cheap potential WR.  No bad can come from keeping him. 
    • I can see the need to improve the secondary, but Alec Pierce should be better this year, and he is so very cheap.   There is also a need for depth, as Pittman and AD Mitchell will need plays off.   I could see Pierce getting 20-30% of the snaps at either side     I am very excited by our offensive potential...... If we have health, this offense can stack up points. Our OL is very strong as well   Who do you double cover?   Last year it was Pittman   This year, with AD Mitchell AND Pittman, we will see deeper zones from our competition   When we had EDGE running the ball with our HOF WRs, Manning could dictate the play based on what the defense did.   8 Man Box?  - We will beat you deep.   4-3 defense/ Nickle?  We will run the ball   If AR5, can pick this up, we will be tough to stop.     I am SOMEWHAT excited by our defense, now that we SHOULD be able to bring more pressure.   But........   I would STILL bring in a vet at FS.......       We will probably wait until camp to do something here             
    • No way, we can sign a vet as good or better and still keep Pierce and see what this season brings.
    • Oh ok you mean overall passing at the time as opposed to Otto personally. I gotcha. For the time he was much more active throwing then most and one of the main reasons the passing game evolved (Along with rule changes). Like some have mentioned hard to compare stats from different eras because of this so won/loss record and titles easier (Though not perfect) for comparison sake. 1 amazing fact is Graham still holds the all time record of yards per pass attempt at 8.6 despite playing in that era. The more time people spend researching him the more they come to appreciate him. He is forgotten by man, when older QB's are brought up it is usually Johnny U. who 100% deserves mention in all greatest conversations but Otto laid that groundwork.
