Dee Williams, Christian Charles, Andre Turrentine, Jordan Matthews, Jourdan Thomas, De'Shawn Rucker, Christian Harrison, Jack Luttrell... you're up!

Dee Williams has been at WR the last few weeks, and Christian Charles is out for season, so I think we’ll see a heavy does of Rucker and Burrell and Turnage at CB, and then mix in Matthews, and Conyer and Wright as well

They went to more Final 4's in that time period than we ever have. If you get the good years you just have to take your lumps with the bad ones late in their careers imo.

that’s true…. i forgot about his cinderella year in 2016…. i just went back to when he started finishing in the lower half of the conference every year….. If Barnes starts to slip…. hopefully, we are wise enough to move on at the right time.

While most want to see Nico in this game, I am really hoping we get to play all of our your DBs. I would love to see several of them step up for the end of the year run.

I’ve talked about the Titans in depth multiple times. You choose not to read them. Yet again, your whole post here you show you don’t know what you’re talking about. Titans had a top 5 offense when Tannehill took over for 2 years, which is very recent.

The management who has caused the roster issues was fired and the new GM is trying his best with the salary cap issues we have from the previous GM (as I have said many many times). So try again

The irony is you say you don’t know them, and don’t keep up with them. But you don’t listen/read to the people who follow the team as close as we all follow the Vols to gauge what is/has been going on with the organization.

The last paragraph seems like an attempt to engage in discussion, noted. Perhaps I do not listen as closely as I should. Or, much like other poster stated, the water is under the bridge. Watching Titans play is painful. I want so badly for them to playing exciting, inspired football. But its two yards and a cloud of dust, win by a FG.

I see them as being a completely untapped entity. They have legions of TN, Candy, and other sports fans in TN, who are tired of same thing. New GM may or may not correct it. Watching them on draft day, hoping against hope they they will do something outside of that 4 cornered box, is excrutiating.

I think what is so frustrating with them is 'what could be?' Both from a marketing and a fan perspective. Perhaps if they fully embraced the 'we are a TN team.' The throw backs to Houston do NOT help their case.

Until something changes, us 'lay' fans will continue to roll our eyes, and move on. I'm just not invested in watching a **** product.

Are all of your Weller allocations already claimed before you get them? Or do you keep a few on the shelf in the back like some places?

This time of year is tough on guys like myself…..who enjoy a good pour but do not visit local stores enough to garner the report that is required to purchase. I buy when I can but also try to find more available bourbons that meet the need. Always looking. Have found a local bourbon to be very good….The Company in Townsend. I really like it.

Advantage of having Levis now is that instead of using the run game to open the passing game like with Tannehill, we can throw the ball early and take pressure off of DH and be able to run it more effectively without banking on us tiring the defense after 30+ runs

Yeah I was a big Tannehill stan, but it appears his arm doesn’t have the strength anymore that we need to alleviate the Oline issues

We have a loyalty program. So basically, you shop here consistently, money spent, store barrel picks purchased, etc all plays into it. Then we send out an email and the loyalty folks fill out their requests. We try to take care of what we can (all depends on what we get and how much) but it’s not always possible.

We hold a little back for random drops through the year as well to keep the engagement/excitement surrounding the store.

Levis forced the last one because he had to. No one else was open.

He played well IMO (much better than Tannehill) and at least gave them a chance to win it late.

With that said, the OL and DBs are awful. Partially because if injuries and partially because they aren’t very talented.

I think Levis’ performance yesterday was a better QB performance than last week.

I don’t think we see Rucker. I think he may be one of the guys the staff encourages to look elsewhere this offseason. Just speculation on my behalf but the kids been here three years and never plays (that I notice, anyways)

6-8 years ago I visited Warhouse Liquor here in Rocky Hill asking about good bourbons and the guy says “hold on, I have something you may like“. He went to the back and brought out a Weller 12. I took it home and cracked it and thought…..man this is really good!! Drank half the bottle over the course of several weeks then did some internet work and found out what I had. I was hooked!! MrMet…..smart to hold some back to create the interest.
