Hall of Famer
The Titans are once again a forgettable Caste squad that are often so boring that I forget they exist. Will this year's version be a small improvement from last? Let's find out:
Number of White Starters: 4
Number of White players on 53 man roster: 14
Grade: F
QB: Ryan Tannehill, Will Levis
G: Peter Skoronski, Daniel Brunskill, Dillon Radunz
C: Corey Levin
WR: Mason Kinsey
TE: Josh Whyle
ILB: Jack Gibbens, Luke Gifford, Chance Campbell
P: Ryan Stonehouse
PK: Nick Folk
LS: Morgan Cox
Injured Reserve: Kyle Philips (WR)
Practice squad: Kevin Rader (TE), Andrew Rupcich (T), Thomas Rush (OLB), Cade York (K)
Well they are remarkably similar to last year with 4 White starters and roughly the same overall Whites, despite a good amount of turnover. One consistent is Ryan Tannehill, who enters his 5th season as Titan's starter. He's got a 37-20 record with the team and should do well again, even though his best days are behind him. Last year the team drafted media hyped Malik Willis, to be the heir apparent. Willis was so terrible in 3 starts that they drafted Will Levis this year. Levis is the opposite of Willis, in that the media did everything possible to tank his stock instead of build it up. The 1st round talent could be a steal for Tennessee, but for this year he starts as 3rd string.
Kyle Philips has excelled in training camp each of his 2 season but has been struck by the injury bug so far in his NFL career. A rare White receiver who is actually drafted, Philips needs to get healthy this year otherwise it will be easy for him to be caste aside. A surprise roster addition (at least to me) is fellow WR Mason Kinsey. Kinsey is more of a "traditional NFL White receiver". Undrafted and from a small college (Berry College?), Kinsey has persevered through a number of years of practice squads to finally stick! I imagine he's a WSTD only, despite putting up very good stats in preseason games. I hope he can keep his spot when Philips returns.
The offensive line, which was usually three-fifths or four-fifths White for many years, went coal last year but bumps up from 1 to 2. Long time pro bowler Taylor Lewan sadly had to retire due to injury (he's filed a medical malpractice lawsuit for a "bad" ACL surgery). In steps 1st rounder Peter Skoronski from Northwestern. A tackle by trade, I guess this year he's serving a racial apprenticeship at LG. Hopefully he emerges into another great and starts playing his natural position sooner than later. Brunskill, the other starting guard comes over from the 49ers.
On defense, the Titans haven't had a starting White player in many years. This would lead many, including myself, to consider HC Mike Vrabel a huge race traitor, who's especially bad since as a former athlete he should know how hard our people have to fight just to make it. Well this year the streak ends, as Jack Gibbens has secured a starting spot at ILB. The former UDFA (of course!) out of Minnesota kicked around the teams PS last year and has ascended quickly! I expect him to be a consistent tackler, as nearly every White linebacker who's given a chance turns out to be. He's backed up by 2 more White linebackers. I wonder if Vrabel is feeling ok? On the PS, lurks Thomas Rush, who's another fine player from University of Minnesota.
