Loser: Jamil Douglas, OL

I don’t mean any disrespect to Jamil Douglas, but I have no idea why they keep playing him at right guard. He looks off balance and struggles to win in any way, and consistently is the guy you can point to when looking at why a run didn’t work.

The Titans played him some at center last night and he actually looked alright there. I mean, not anywhere near the level of Corey Levin or Ben Jones but if you had to find a spot for him on the OL it should be at center and not guard.

Ultimately it looks like the coaching staff are frantically trying to find a place for Douglas on the roster despite him really not doing anything positive when it matters.

Last year they did the same thing with Aaron Stinnie who is now buried on the depth chart as well. While they clearly made a mistake last year if Stinnie hasn’t developed into someone who can even compete for the RG spot, the question is whether or not they will repeat their mistake.

My heart says no, but my head says yes and while I don’t think he has shown a reason to think he can play in the NFL (yet) I think the Titans are going to keep him.
