With 7 weeks left in the regular season, and the Titans heading into the bye, I thought I’d take a look at what our possible projected playoff roster might look like. Let’s start with the offense:
Starting lineup
QB: Tannehill
RB1: Henry
RB2: McNichols/Hilliard
WR1: Brown
WR2: Jones
WR3: Tate/Westbrook Ikine
TE1: Swaim
OL: Lewan/Saffold/Jones/Davis?/Quesenberry
Depth
QB: Woodside
RB: Foreman/Hilliard
WR: Rodgers, Fitzpatrick, McMath?
TE: Pruit, Firkser, Hudson
OL: Lamm, Brewer, Levin, Radunz
Done For Year
Batson, Johnson, Sambrailo
At first glance, this unit looks almost identical to what we expected at the beginning of the year with the only real replacement being Golden Tate replacing Marcus Johnson. I expect Tate to compete with NWI for the WR3 role. We have yet to replace Batson, so David Moore could be a FA option as a speedster if we need it.
If Henry returns, the big question will be if Hilliard can supplant McNichols from the roster. If Henry doesn’t return, I’d expect a Foreman/Hilliard committee like last week.
Also, Brewer has been a MUCH better pass blocker than Davis, so that’s a position to watch in the coming weeks.
Overall if this unit gets healthy, I still think it could be a juggernaut.
