"I think there's going to be multiple All-Stars in there."
Dan Hennigan sees something SPECIAL in Cam Smith, and a recent reunion at Wake Forest might help unlock it. 👀
Everything that has happened to the Titans since trading AJ Brown:
*Titans have the worst record in the NFL at 19-54 since
*Eventually led to firing of Mike Vrabel
* Record since firing Mike Vrabel is 6-33 (have won 2 home games + 1 division game total in 3 seasons)
*AJ Brown won a Super Bowl and Mike Vrabel made a Super Bowl
*AJ Brown had more Super Bowl appearances with the Eagles than Treylon Burks had receiving touchdowns with the Titans
*Have scored 17.2 Points per game since the trade, the worst in the NFL.
*Let Derrick Henry walk without trying to re-sign him
*Derrick Henry has 732 more rushing yards and 22 more rushing touchdowns than the entire Titans RB room combined since leaving
*Traded Malik Willis to the Packers for a 7th rounder only for him to beat us 27 days later as the starting QB by 16 points
*Traded the leader of our defense, Kevin Byard (to the Eagles, of course) for two 2024 draft picks + player…none of those players are still on the Titans two seasons later.
*Lost Mike Keith - the voice of the Titans for 27 years and one of the best in the entire industry - to the University of Tennessee
*Lost Lance Smith - their longtime on field game-day host and hype man
*Have never replaced Lance Smith and the game day production is one of the worst in professional sports
*Lowest attendance numbers since Nissan Stadium opened in 1999.
*Dropped the Greek mythology bit from the Titans branding so no one knows what the Titans even mean anymore
Every decision made is the wrong one and if you do that long enough and you get Hell on Earth.
After years on Sports Twitter I’m convinced that a player could fully do a backbreaker on another player and there would be arguments in the comments on both sides
Engagement bait, bots, and just plain idiots abound
The vesting options are the big thing here. Essentially you have Correa right now for a 2/$40M deal. If he plays a full season in 2028 then he gets another year. If he plays a full year in 2028 then I’d bet he’s worth another year. If he’s injured again, then you’re not stuck with him past 2028
Graded Dana Brown’s tenure on the show today
Took way longer than I planned and started to run out of room on the white board so there’s a lot I didn’t get on there
@AstrosAtoZ Well no but yes. A waiver pickup that is a positive WAR contributor to the team is probably a B or above. There’s plenty of pickups that aren’t positive or lead to nothing
@grillingcheeez Looking back I’d probably give that first draft a C- but 2nd draft he found a lot of late deep picks with promise. Neyens draft is top heavy but good. Last year’s draft might be my favorite but we’ll see
@SteveinLC Fair assessment, although in the month and a half he played this year, he put up enough WAR to be top 10 on the team for the year. With the vesting options, I don’t think it’ll be too bad but we’ll see
@RobManfraud@TheAstrosLocker I was actually fully supportive of the trade at the time. The main thought was saving that money for a future move. And then when that future move didn’t happen, you downgraded a position just to save a few bucks. And I like Allen, but in hindsight, it was definitely a downgrade
