What Tennessee Titans cuts told us about each position
By Will Lomas
Tight End
What they told us: Creating creative mismatches is key to this offense.
Jonnu Smith is going to be the tight end you see the most, and that really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. Not only is he a Mike Vrabel favorite, but he has earned his spot and gotten better and better every season.
His role is going to be as the swiss army knife, do-it-all kind of guy who can block, catch, move around a formation, and even run the ball if he needs to. To a lesser extent, that is what Anthony Firkser should be able to give them as well.
The other prototype they want at tight end is the bigger, block-first type player and that spot is filled by MyCole Pruitt and Geoff Swaim.
Misdirection is the name of the game in this offensive scheme and the Titans want to make sure that they have the players do keep that deception rolling even if there are some injuries.
This is probably the best depth we have ever seen the Titans have at tight end, and while that isn’t worth a ton, it is still worth noting.
