Our Titans just signed *who*
Now look, I’m sitting here at Bongo Java in Germantown, watching the folks head to work, and I gotta be honest with y’all. When I saw the news pop up about the Tennessee Titans signing Austin Deculus, a lineman out of LSU, it felt… well, bless their hearts, it felt like the kind of move you make when you're just trying to keep the lights on, not when you’re building a Music City Miracle contender. It tells me that Ran Carthon and Coach Callahan, they’re still trying to figure out which pieces belong in the puzzle. We’re in a full-blown rebuild, plain and simple, and if you’re hollering anything different, you ain't looking at the whole picture. Nobody in Nashville is jumping up and down about Deculus; he’s a depth piece, an insurance policy, maybe a camp body. The real talk around here is still about the folks we *didn't* keep, and the big names we *haven't* signed.
What this roster still needs is a whole lot, boys. We need a consistent pass rush that can actually get to the quarterback, not just wave at him as he throws. And our offensive line, as much as I appreciate any effort to bolster it, needs a true cornerstone, a guy who can anchor that left side for the next five years. We gotta find a way to get Will Levis some protection, some real time to throw, or bless his heart, he’s gonna be running for his life all season long, just like last year. My expectations for next season? This move ain’t exactly got me booking my tickets to the Super Bowl, I'll tell you that much. We're still looking for that one draft class, that one true game-changer, to really open up our window again.
Tennessee stands tall, boys. Cody Ray, signing off from Music City.
