The good:

-Keeping Isaiah Mack on the roster seemed like a no-brainer, but after looking at this list some of the moves were made without a brain so it is good to see that Mack made the team.

-The Titans didn’t have an issue with “sunk cost” letting Aaron Stinnie hit the waiver wire with the potential of possibly bringing him back for the practice squad still an option.

-It is always a good idea to only keep 2 QBs unless one of them has trade value that you truly believe you can collect on during the season.

Anthony Firkser made the roster which is great for the team.

The bad:

-The Titans cut their fourth best lineman of the preseason in Corey Levin. Not only should Levin have been the starter at guard, he could have been the starter at center if the Titans would have been able to think creatively.

Genuinely this move is upsetting because it tells players that even if you outperform your competition, it doesn’t matter if the coaches have pet projects.

-I don’t know how many good runs and catches you have to see before you realize that Jeremy McNichols was the 2nd best RB on the roster after the preseason.

All in all this was a bad cut down day where the Titans cut surefire upside and clear results for what I guess they see as potential but what looks like players who make bad mistakes frequently.

The majority of these issues come from the offensive line and everyone should be really interested to see what Keith Carter does with this unit because he was part of some bad moves today and if he wasn’t behind them then he was complicit and that is just as bad.
