Back Ups you most dont want to see play?

[RegulatRR27]

Now i realize that Tennessee actually has very good depth at almost every pos. But with that said what players would u most NOT want to see play if a starter got hurt.

I'll tell you what im not worried about 1st.

1.Well i have always wondered how D.Nickney has stayed on the team, but if sumthing happened to Hope, i believe Griffen would slide over and Fuller would be the FS-so i wont worry about that.

2.We have been lucky to not have any OT injuries the last few years, but if Roos went down, i think they would consider sliding Stewart to the blind side and letting Otto/Kropog play right-again not really worried

3. If bulluck/thornton got hurt, i think Tulloch just slides over, and fowler takes over in the middle-not a tremendous drop off there, only slight

4. D-line- Honestly i think everyone but Ford/hayes/kearse could play every pos on the d-line so def not worried there.

5. CB- if Finn/harper go down, faggins is a good back-up, he could prolly start somewhere, so not too worried there.

6. I may be one of the few, but i wouldnt even be worried with Vince in for an injured Kerry. Get him in there with CJ, and Vince will be able to do more with the def not having to worry about him as the main threat.

7.RB- i believe we may have one of the deepest back fields in the league, if any of our RBs got at least 250 carries, no doubt they could break 1000 and provide little drop off production wise, now i realize that CJ brings what he brings, but the running game would not suffer, maybe just big plays. and that includes White, Ringer, Henry, Ganther

Ok now the few i would be worried about...

1. TE- no not crumpler, but if scaife goes down, then i'm assuming cook would take over as the primary catching TE, which may not hurt, but scaife has provided the offense with another playmaker, that moves chains. Would be very worried if he went down.

2. WRs- now i know we have a team full of 2s and 3s anyway so why would i be worried when we could just plug in another average WR? Well besides Gage and Washington we have no veterans unlike past years who could at least be in the right spot when the play is called. And honestly we still dont know what we have in washington. Now Britt/Hawkins/Davis/Williams could all break out. but until i see anything i assume just holding a roster spot. (when it comes to young WR who havent dont anything)

3. Lasty -Hall, we don't have another true FB on the roster, and I don't think we could go a long stretch just by using TEs and sub-par lead blockers

Anyways i know its long but what ya'll think?

Never mind.. i should read the WHOLE thread
good thread

I think we should wait to see who the back ups are. :)

Vince Young... :evilgrin

It starts with V and ends with G, and I'm not talking about a viking.

I might add Lendale White. We saw how valuable CJ was in the second half of the playoff loss.

i disagree with the corner depth, im not sold on faggins really and harper himself isnt exactly young, and im always scared that rey hill is an injury or two away from the starting role
i felt more secure with eric king in there than i would hill or faggins

and if it counts, an injury to bironas during a game is irreplaceable

unless we resign him, there is no chance we are ever an injury away from hill, and regardless of how old harper is, he still covers short routes very good and is a sure tackler, and i liked king too BUT there must have been a reason we didnt attempt to resign him, he knew harper would prolly be playing his last season and then the job would be up for grabs.

I agree with this.

Faggins is not a starter. The dude constantly gets burn.

Our DB depth is a mystery to me. Cary Williams didn't really get his chance last year to show anything. Mouton, being a rookie, it's tough to have confidence.

ahhh yes... football season is back... i can almost smell a VY forum. Let me get it started. I am sure everyone will come to an agreement after we talk it out a bit :lol

poster 1: "vince young is the greatest HOF QB to ever clothesline a guy that he through an interception to"

poster 2: "vince young is a bigger bust than dolly parton in a padded push up bra"

I managed to steer clear of most VY chatter last year. I stopped caring when we kept winning.

1. I disagree about Faggins being ok. I think the weakest depth we have is in the secondary. After Fuller we don't have a lot

2. To be frank I'm nervous about the QB position as a whole. KFC has never had 2 good seasons in a row during his career and he's up there in years. I like VY but haven't seen him play in a while and Pat Ramsey has had one good game in his career (against us playing for Washington)

3. OL and particularly OT injuries are never good because so much depends on chemistry, but I think we have serviceable backups and Munch does a good job

4. I think we have 4 TE's who could start on some teams in this league. We rely on them heavily but we have pretty good depth there.

Now that i think about it a lil more, Collins worries me more as a starter than Vince ever did. I think it may be a matter of time b4 Collins reverts back to just chuck the rock around and with our WRs that may get us in big trouble.

How can we be sure about Young? Young hasn't prove anything special yet. he has a window open and he might turn things into his favor, but so far, Collins proved to be a good QB for the offense we run. And that matters and that's important.

And please...lets not turn this into another bashing thread.

Collins is our starter and Young will have his chance, but for 2010. I hope he does the right things to make us have a solid offense, that's all I ask.

what i meant by what i said was that at least we vince from day one we knew he wouldnt be that great of passer, a solid scrambler, etc. Now with collins we are expecting the same from last year, which he played very well, but too many times in kerry's career has he got a lil too greedy with taken shots downfield. With vince we know he doesnt take a whole lot of shots deep, but now collins has some confidence he may start thinking he's better than he is, and with our WRs that could be a disaster

Respectfuly, I say that's assuming too much.

Collins helped this team a lot and looks comfortable and to understands the offensive scheme. That's a strong point in his favor.

Young is still in the line waiting for his next turn. And there's no room for him to get sentimental or pathetic. He has proven little, he played for a team that was in a rebuilding process, and we have to be thankful that Collins took a serious approach, and give our players that confidence needed with the type of playing he had.

We cannot say what will happen. Right now, our safest bet is on Collins.

well all i keep thinking about is in the playoffs when collins was about to get sacked and throws a lob pass, fading back, off of one foot, into double coverage. I just keep thinking we'll see more of that this year, rather than check downs like he should have to Brandon Jones on that play. Plus I think arguable our WR core last year, was the best we had since vince has been here. (Gage, Jones, Scaife,johnson even, had very good years, maybe their best) And vince didnt even play that much. How would have collins have done a relying on Lendale as the starting back, and Eric Moulds? Just saying, but Until Vince screws up with the Playmakers we have now (Johnson, Washington, Cook/Britt-hopefully) for a full season and not a high school caliber offense like we've had, i'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
