New TE for VY

by hookemkp on Mar 3, 2008 1:45 AM CST

Alge Crumpler who has been the number #1 receiver/TE for the Falcons signed 2-yr deal with the Titans

I know we are nearing march madness and spring training just started, but I thought it would be nice to keep track of the offseason moves by the Titans. It seems like they are being pretty aggressive in the offseason: fired Chow, signed Justin Gage (only productive/reliable WR) to multi-yr deal, and added Crumpler who is probably the third best TE after Gonzales and Gates.

Getting Moss would be a wishful thinking huh....hahah

So does this mean Scaife will be released? I doubt they will use double TE sets (Titans RBs are not quick/fast enough)

Interesting

Assuming Crumpler's still at the top of his game athletically, this has to help. I know VY was comfortable with Scaife, but Crumpler's a different kind of athlete - one that defenses have to account for.

I'm admittedly out of the NFL loop these days, so I can't comment with much authority at this point. Still - looks like a solid first step for VY and the Titans.

3rd best???

What about Jason Witten? Jason Witten is 1 or 2 in my book. Gates being the 1 or 2.

Crumpler...

is probably not in the top 5 TEs anymore, but he's still a very good player. Gates, Gonzalez, Cooley, Winslow, Witten, Clark are all better

As far as Scaife, I can't imagine he'll be released. Every team carries at least 3 TEs and I think Ben Troupe is a free agent. I'd look for lots of 2 TE sets with Crumpler in the fold. Better blocking for the running game and Scaife is probably a better receiving option than the 3rd WR on the Titans.
