Kevbeau Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 ...per Afternoon Blitz on Sirius. If I'm the Titans, I have to be concerned with this guys injury record. Sorry if a duplicate. Didn't see it posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsGuyInMalta Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I've scanned over a few Titans message boards, and they all seem to be pretty excited in the idea of bringing Travis back to Tennessee to play football. Especially now with Brown hurt...yet again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Come on, a 2006 3rd rounder for Travis which can conditionally become a 1st rounder. Previously you could have gotten him for a 2005 3rd rounder straight-up, in a weak draft. Better act quick! Supplies running out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVJ Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 They said he should be fine by the start of training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKC Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Brown's a peculiar runner and I can see TN fans watching his style figuring Travis might just be an improvement- and they could be right. In some way's like Duane Thomas, Browns more explosive than Travis but he seems kind of stiff hitting holes; even though he has some success getting through tight holes Travis should be even more productive between the tackles. It's an O that isn't looking for the RB to play much of a role in the pass game so overall the Titans should see Travis as a lot more vaulable than most teams do.

MrLocke Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Semms like TD to a certain extent has been vindicated today. With the Release of Shelton and if now he can get a trade done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall, runs high without lowering his shoulder. Exposes the ball a little much but has been effective when healthy. Problem is he struggles to stay healthy, as was the case in Colorado during his college career. I'm sensing a pattern. No surprise that Henry finds another team considering him. The Titans will stuggle badly this year, having just gone through cap hell. Brown will mend in time for the regular season but the Titans have a legit RB depth concern with his constant injuries.

BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 He meant LT L.J. Shelton from the Cards, who the Bills could have potentially acquired from the Cards for trading Travis. 339957[/snapback] Think about that now, how crazy would it be to trade a viable NFL 1000 yard rusher for a guy who can't play on the Cardinals?? Thank god they didn't bow to the player for player swap. I think the Cards are better, and possibly a borderline wildcard team in the NFC....but they've proven nothing yet.

Brown will mend in time for the regular season but the Titans have a legit RB depth concern with his constant injuries. 339930[/snapback] That longer torso is a trait of all three runners we're talking about, and probably leads to the upright running by necessity- something a munchkin like Travis doesn't have to fight. I always picture Eric with good hip flexion while Brown in the limited times I've had watching him looks like his hips are welded in place to his spine. Duane Thomas as I recall had the same limitation- stationary hips with that upright style but the one thing both Thomas and Brown have is that open field gear that they can hit in stride to create separation. If I recall ED correctly he was pretty smooth through the full range of his speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
