Pollard is good. Dallas missused him last year and I got to listen to their fans complain about it all year. Spears/Pollard being so similar may be the point. The defense isn't tipped to which plays are coming by personnel. This has been a known problem for the titans offense for years. I think it may be fixed with this signing.
On the other hand... maybe a late draft pick or cheaper FA would have been enough.
I'm betting we will be happy with Pollard by mid-season

I like the two signings so far. Can make the argument for paying that much for rb, but I think pollard and spears are going to be a great 1-2 for this offense.
wouldn’t mind nabbing Ridley now.

FUranTitans signing Tony Pollard per reports
Aaron Brewer 6’1” 274lbs
Cushenberry 6’4” 315lbs
That’s a “sizeable” upgrade

He’s not Henry but him and spears should make for an exciting backfield.FUran
change from what pace?This is a brilliant signing. No more telegraphing our offense like we did when Henry would come in.
Pollard is a stud as a change of pace back.

Henry in Fact Can Catch!Henry can't catch
Pollard is a pass catching RB.
We are passing the ball!!!!People need to accept that.We upgraded at receiving.
Pollard also is ass in the redzone so that sucks
I think we all know how you feel about Pollard.
somewhere the worlds smallest C brewer is being shoved backwards by a Hooters girl
Tony Pollard is also only like 14 months removed from breaking his leg. So that could account for some of the lost production from this past season.
That upgrade from Brewer to Cush is enough to make a grown man shed tears of joy
Pollard is larger than Spears and is top 5 in the league in yards after contact.change from what pace?
1). What makes you think Henry would come back, get less carries, and take less money? Come on now.
reality
2). Of course pollard and spears are the same kind of back, that’s the reason they got him. It’s not longer a 1 rb focused system. It’s RB by committee due to them being used more in the passing game than we’ve done with rb’s in the past.
could have drafted a RB late
Henry 30, Pollard 26. If you're gonna sign one at that price you gotta go with the younger guy.
I love Pollard, I am a Memphis fan, but 8 mil a year for the next 3 years? WTF?!
3 years 12 mil, sure, good signing.... but 3 years 24mil makes me question Ran..
D-
Cushenberry is the only o-line I felt really good about signing from FA.

Im not saying that he wasn’t an overpay, that’s not my argument at all. I’m saying he’s a great fit for the style of offense we are going to run.
I’m not going to argue and say we shouldn’t have just taken a rb in the 4th round or so to be our number two, but I do love the style fit.
zero chance he does that with Titans last yearPollard is larger than Spears and is top 5 in the league in yards after contact.

That’s kind of the point though. We won’t have that offensive line from last year, nor that offensive play style.
