Joel Armia is a very solid player for what he’s paid.

Murray was so bad

Might be too many cooks in the kitchen at the point. Lol! And conflicting “visions” of the team will just be more wheel spinning crap that we’ve seen.

When do you think Adams wraps up his search?

I’d think whoever the coach ends up being would like an idea or input into who they will be coaching... especially if they will be working with Jack, Sam and Risto...

- Gr8daygo

I would hope they make that decision before the draft so they can figure out Sam Jack and risto before the draft and get more picks. I would trade them all. But that’s just me.

How about Meatball as HC and Gronberg as Asst. Coach. Gronberg said he's up to coming over as a Asst. Coach to get his feet wet.
- Buff36


I don’t think I’d mind that at all. As long as the beard and meatball are on the same page!

“The 2021 NHL Entry Draft will be the 59th NHL Entry Draft. The draft will be held on July 23–24, 2021”

I would THINK you’d want a coach in place by July 1. Gives them a little time with video scout 3000, ramping up and devising a plan with Adams....

Yeah, I just don’t think they throw enough for the Jones acquisition to matter all that much in the grand scheme of things, and I also think Tennessee is a pretty over rated team.

He would’ve been better off in Seattle, LA Chargers, or even Buffalo to make their offenses elite

- sbroads24


If Henry is still near how good how is, I think it does help. Can’t double Julio and brown

Agree, but he would have been a good player to have instead of giving up assets to fill spots cause we didn't have any prospects to do it.

It helps but Corey Davis was decent and he’s gone. With Julio being at the end of the road soon I wonder how big of an upgrade it is.

“Special” seems like a bit of a reach
Good 3rd liner imo

Apparently
My bad


I agree with Sbroads post
I thought/hoped he’d be a better goal scorer,
but he’s solid for sure

Yes he would have, plus we wouldn't have had to give up even more assets to fill a spot he could have taken.

Derrick Henry has been remarkably durable throughout his career especially considering his heavy usage. If that ends, I think Tannehill will be back to Miami Tannehill. The threat of Henry sets up Tannehill imo

I will go out on a limb and say he’s a massive upgrade to Corey Davis

Bills didn’t throw all that much before they got Diggs

Not that the Titans are gonna throw it 40+ times a game necessarily....
but Julio can be a force

Keeps that 8th guy back in pass coverage too,
instead of in the box
So that should free up Henry too

I mean he's only 27, but he has had a lot of carries the last 2yrs
