Doc Holliday Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'll move LenDale up but how much value now can one put with Brown? I would not put to much value on Brown even if he stays the opening say starter for Tennessee. he is a IR waiting for a list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFLongSnapper Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I think LenDale has the most upside of the three Titans running backs, and I could see him definitely having value towards the latter parts of the season if they aren't in the playoff hunt. He should be in shape by then, and it's likely the Titans will give him an opportunity to show what he can do with 20-25 carries in a game. To start the season, I could see him being the goal-line back, which isn't a bad place to start (assuming he gets into camp by signing, recovers from his nagging injuries, etc.).

yo mama Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Seems to me that if the Rams are interested in M. Bennett, they'd be even more interested in C. Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) Priority News has it right...why would the starter going into camp demand a trade? Is it because he fears White? Not likely. Maybe Brown is healthy and knows he's healthy. He looks at the glut of backs on the roster and the fact that they are rebuliding, and is trying to leverage his spot into an unquestioned starting role elsewhere. Maybe he's just trying to get an answer from the coaching staff as to what his role is, or reaffirmation that he is the man. Yep...I am playing Devil's Advocate again...

Swiss Cheezhead Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I don't care who you are, that was just plain funny. I gotta agree. Excellent use of the term "glass menagerie." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I gotta agree. Excellent use of the term "glass menagerie." Thanks. Though, I'm surprised I got away with using that term without getting called a homo. Perhaps not everyone got the literary reference.

Linehan, like most new coaches, is interested in former players -- especially for depth. That's why he's inquiring about Bennett. Plus, Bennett would come cheaper than Brown, I imagine.

broncosn05 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Look I can understand why his value is going up but think about guys I had Lendale with the job before the season even started anyway with Norm Chow being the O-Cor he already knows most of the terminology, etc. Guy will be a stud in fantasy a guy who comes in with a chip on his shoulder and the power to score the TD and the speed to go the distance. And don't forget about Travis Henry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next news I want to hear is Corey Dillon retires and Maroney is starting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
