Cine makes the "good enough" list after his whiff on Spears TD run? Interesting...

I thought Mullens was a pretty good acquisition. Better than Mannion. But I've not been impressed with him the last couple years at all. He was awful last week and not much better this week. 

I like Lowe. He could have a future. But the entire offensive line was pretty bad. Brandel, Schlottmann, Udoh, etc. These are not rookie UDFAs. They've been around a while and should've been getting more movement than they were. 

Curious why you put IPJ in the not good enough category. He wasn't perfect, but I thought he played pretty well. Good pressure on 3rd and 5 HERE. Note Cine as well. 

But overall, Cine is frustrating. Just ridiculous speed and pursuit. Seems to be in the right place a lot. A run blitz on another play was a good example. Awesome read, then he misses the tackle. How does a kid who played at Georgia not know how to tackle? Same with Booth. Tackling and run support was supposed to be his strength coming out. Clearly it's not.

WR depth is fantastic...about 7 deep. I'd keep Trishton Jackson over Reagor. That kid can play. But if you don't keep Reagor or Powell you don't have a PR. Harry is hurt, but he's looked good in camp too.

Agree Mullens is better than Mannion but as far as him looking awful.  What backup quarterback looks like he couldn't easily be replaced.  They get minimal reps during camp and then play in preseason games with backup linemen and backup receivers.

Lowe could develop into a decent swing tackle.  Think time has run its course on Udoh, thought he would have been cut last season.  They need to scour the waiver wire for linemen both offensive and defensive guys.

Mullens definitely an upgrade.  think we could have a chance with him if needed in a real game. thats what you need at backup. 

i thought they ran in Brandels gap on 3rd and short twice and made it. otherwise he seemed solid. 

Maybe im comparing to IPJ first game, but he looked out of his gap on multiple occasions last night, including the big TD run.  He did flash in rush for sure. i like him for sure overall, think he deserved to be drafted and will have a decent NFL career likely as backup/ST

Cine looks the part of a starting S in this league, but the jury is still out as he needs to clean up his tackling.  

Booth looks like a second stringer so far. 

Hopefully these young guys progress. 

Finally, the eye test tells me Brandon Powell makes the team as #4 and starting punt returner.  behind him, i would try to keep Jackson. probs should keep 6 receivers, but Nick Muse and a 5th safety may derail that.  Will be interesting

This was an interesting play. I'd like to know more about the run fits on this play. It looks like IPJ either has the B gap or he's reading the fullback who goes to the C gap. I suspect the rookie Spears was supposed to follow the fullback, but instead cut back through the A gap, which was filled well by Cine, who of course missed the tackle. The story of his camp: good reads, good pursuit, good speed, now make the fucking tackle.

Btw, I wouldn't put money on IPJ being a career backup.

Yeah seeing it again looks like Smith/Cine.  Effing troy Dye was lined up way out on the inside shoulder of the slot receiver. Since Smith was moved back out of the gap it was Cine or nothing but green.  Nice play design, block by Titans C and read by Spears.
