No, I don’t think Pickens will be the Offensive Rookie of the Year this season. Now, I know no one cares about anyone else’s fantasy team, so I’ll get back to answering the question at hand. I trusted the tape I saw during that 2019 season at LSU and that move paid off handsomely. I got Chase for a steal in both of my fantasy football leagues last year because everyone else was worried about his case of the drops. Let me just take this opportunity to pat myself on the back for a second (it is my column, after all). Will he follow in Chase’s footsteps and win the award this season? George Pickens is already making waves this training camp for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last year, Ja’Marr Chase overcame preseason drops to win the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award. Yeah, I’ll figure out the rest of my offense if you give me that guy on my team. That time Derrick Henry used Earl Thomas as a lead blocker…? /hgdOHk2l9z However, if I have to choose just one, give me the guy who turns All-Pro safeties into his lead blocker: Nick Chubb also warrants consideration based on what he’s done with the Cleveland Browns since being drafted.
Both of them are dynamic runners who also contribute heavily in the passing game. I mean, how could you not want that beast on your team? He has also carried the Titans to the playoffs the past couple of years, so you know he can handle a major workload and succeed even when defenses know he’s getting the ball.īut, if you’re a more pass-happy offense, Alvin Kamara and Najee Harris at least warrant consideration. Remember when Derrick Henry made Mark Ingram look like a high-school kid on a campus visit /ZaN2vm4GEk If you want a pure power running game, Derrick Henry is the obvious answer: It also depends quite a bit on what kind of offense you’re running.
Oh man, there are so many good options to choose from. You can only pick one SEC running back who played his entire career in the 2000s or later to build a running game around. Week 0 will provide us with that, and I can’t wait.įortunately, there’s the SDS Mailbag to get us through these last couple of weeks without college football! Let’s dive into this week’s questions: Tyler: I could see him growing, the questions he was asking, the notes he was taking.But now, with NFL preseason games providing us with a lackluster appetizer (like stale chips and mild salsa), I’m longing for games that actually matter. … Once he went on IR he wasn’t able to practice and do it physically, but he was growing mentally. “From when I came in in the spring, he’s been nothing but attentive and hungry to grow and to get better. “He’s grown so much just in my time here with the Titans, Tannehill said of Woodside on a Tuesday conference call.
PROLEVEL TITANS FREE
The Titans still could add a veteran quarterback in free agency - perhaps sometime further down the road this offseason, as roster cuts across the league pry other quarterbacks from their current jobs.Īt the very least, Woodside has a believer in the guy he’s backing up. Felt like from a tools standpoint, he was a guy that we’d like to work with.” Tannehill has confidence in Woodside We spent quite a bit of time with him here in the process just getting to know him a little bit – (offensive coordinator) Arthur (Smith) and Pat (O’Hara) did, and developed a good relationship with him. “(McDonald’s) a guy that’s got really good size, really good athleticism, ran fast, he moves around, he’s got good arm strength. “We’re not going to set the roster to 55 today on the third day of the draft,” Titans general manager Jon Robinson said on a conference call after the draft. Woodside doesn’t have the upside of McDonald, whose athleticism and skill set could very well help him become a backup quarterback not far down the road.īut this year, with the NFL landscape as it is now, the job appears to be Woodside’s to lose. That will take time, and Titans quarterbacks coach Pat O’Hara has to be eager to work with his newest project. Toward the end of last month, McDonald shared video on his Instagram account of him going through a segmented throwing motion as he works to shorten it and correct a problem that’s deeply embedded “I’m working on it every day,” McDonald said. As Zierlein wrote, McDonald possesses an “unorthodox release (that) looks like he's throwing a javelin.” He has a “big wind-up… a long winding loop,” as McDonald said on a conference call shortly after he was drafted. The biggest issue facing McDonald, the thing he’s working to correct now, is his throwing motion.
