Mr. P Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 The Tennessee Titans parted ways with Dorial Green-Beckham after only one season, trading the former second-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for offensive lineman Dennis Kelly, the team announced on Tuesday morning. Green-Beckham, 23, starred for Missouri right away as a freshman in 2012, but was dismissed by the program in 2014 after his sophomore season following a series of legal troubles, including a pair of arrests on drug charges. He transferred to Oklahoma, but never played for the team before entering the 2015 NFL Draft. As a rookie, Green-Beckham paired with No. 2 overall pick Marcus Mariota and finished the 2015 season with 32 receptions for 549 yards and four touchdowns. While he looked to be a promising young piece for the Titans to groom, Green-Beckham fell out of favor with Mike Mularkey and the Titans head coach publicly questioned the receiver's work ethic. "That's spending extra time when nobody is watching," Mularkey told ESPN's Paul Kuharsky. "That's doing things when nobody is watching. That's in the classroom. I think it's just putting the work in without being directed by anybody. Doing it yourself." If Green-Beckham puts in that extra work, it won't be with the Titans. The 6'5 red zone target is headed to Philadelphia where he'll join a young receiver corps that features Nelson Agholor, Jordan Matthews and Rueben Randle. The trade helps bolster the Titans' offensive line by adding Kelly, a former fifth-round pick with 30 NFL games and 15 starts under his belt, but hurts a position group that the team was already lacking at. The Titans added Andre Johnson earlier in the offseason, but the 35-year-old receiver is not the player he once was and is part of an underwhelming group of receivers led by Rishard Matthews, Tajae Sharpe and Kendall Wright. Kelly played in multiple spots along the Philadelphia offensive line and most recently made two starts at right tackle for the Eagles during the 2015 season. http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2016/8/16/12501498/dorial-green-beckham-trade-philadelphia-eagles-tennessee-titans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I would be shocked if either is a relevant player. This lesser Beckham is as much of a headcase as there ever has been in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightFire Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Speaking about Titans. Titans let fans call 1st two plays Sat night. They ended up being a 15 yd run and a 31 yd pass. Next 3 called by coaches? 5 total yards. So maybe us fans do know more than NFL personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it was a bag of shit for a bag of shit, straight across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Agreed, it was a bag of shit for a bag of shit, straight across the board. I'm jealous that you Eagles have bags of shit that other teams want, though. Green-Beckham is a head case but he's got a lot of potential. If he can have a turnaround like Tyrann Mathieu or Pacman Jones, he will be a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 He showed a shitload of flashes when he got to play last year. Titans are morons, this dude has talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 G-B is an great talent, if he can get his shit together mentally he can be a #1 WR in the NFL. Weird to think the Titans basically gave up on this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 id rather take the shot on a guy as talented as green-beckham than have Kelly. Especially with all the question marks you already have at wr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with all the question marks you already have at wr He showed up and caught the passes he needed to catch. Hell, even Agholor looked good in the last game. Interested in seeing how well they play in the opener. O line seems to be shaping up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazedDogs Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 what are we basing this 'strong running game' theory on? I like Matthews, but he's going to have his work cut out for him when the defense stacking the line against a rookie QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazedDogs Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 You weren't paying attention. Your bad. LOL, well I fully confess I haven't been paying attention, its been a few years running now that I don't follow the league like I used to - that's why I asked! But with a new coach, probably playing a system derived from Andy Reid, I don't think we really know what that running game is going to look like. Matthews is about to turn 30. Sproles, everybody loves Sproles, but he's got to be hitting his mid 30s now. Deeper down the depth chart, I have no clue other than vaguely recognizing the names. Rookie QB, and a passing game that nobody has high expectations for.... feel free to spin it, but conventional wisdom says this doesn't add up to a raging run game.

Herc Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Mathews can ball, man. His problem is staying healthy but he was an awesome signing last year until the Eagles ruined it by signing Murray too. He's thirty but when you consider last year being a lost season and time missed due to injury he only has 1,000 carries of mileage on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His red zone performance reminded me of Westy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
