It Seems the Titans Had a Huge Steal

It still hurts for me that we didnt have a chance or we dont have plan to draft DGB, I thought he's a troubled kid with stupid decision. However, I read one article of ESPN and begin to even believe the Titans got a huge steal in this draft. This kid seems to be on the right way of collecting things together.

 

With no outlet for his game-day fire, Green-Beckham saved his intensity for practices and the 5:30 a.m. workouts usually reserved for freshmen and scout teamers. He even managed to turn Jerry Schmidt, the Sooners' strength coach since 1999 and a notorious grump, from a skeptic to a believer.

"Going into it, I thought it was going to be a problem," Schmidt said. "But he didn't miss a day and he led all of our younger guys and showed them how to work. Here's a guy who's supposed to be playing in SEC at a high level, and now he's not playing on Saturday, and still working like that. You've got to give him some credit for that."

Green-Beckham went on to be named scout team player of the week six times, turning practices into his own personal challenge against the No. 1 defense.

"I told them, practice is my game," he says. "This is my Saturday."

I am an Oklahoma alum and I've heard the great things about him over the past year.. he's got potential to be a Calvin Johnson.  I would have taken him at #25, but I know DG's hands were tied on that one.

Josh Gordon was a steal too. Greg Hardy was a steal. Eventually the other side of the axe falls.

That's a really good point. People never really change. Guys with proeblems eventually have those same problems again at some point.

Don't know about that. You probably have more positive stories than negative. That's just how the media and people are, focusing on the negative.

On an off note, Greg Hardy's legal issues began in the NFL.

Legal issues, yes. Character concerns have been documented in college. He fell to 6th round due to foot injury and character concerns. He's had plenty of character concerns before his legal issues with us as well. It's been put out there that the Panthers had no intention of resigning him before the domestic violence. They wanted to rent him and try to make it back to the playoffs then let him walk.

Depends on the reason for the problems.

 

If it's "wrong place, wrong time" or "youthful indiscretion" you can get past those things.

 

If it's "bad judgment", "not very bright", "poor decision making" or "addictive behavior", then yeah there's a pretty good chance they're gonna get in trouble again.

 

Those are the guys you avoid.

      Nobody likes moral victories, but...

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔

      Team is looking good for next season

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
