Jake Locker Rumors & News

Jake Locker's career hasn't started out with a flashy winning streak or an easy trip to the playoffs, but those that think Locker is a bust already are really missing the devil in the details. Firstly, lets talk about just how unlucky Locker was to have the combination of Steve Hutchinson, Deuce Lutui, Leroy Harris, Kevin Mathews, Kyle Devan, and Mitch Petrus all see time as starters on the interior of the offensive line due to injures. Since they all played so poorly we will call that group the "Subs". Together the subs managed to allow 45 hurries, 13 hits, and 10 sacks on 2,053 snaps...

Ruston Webster and the rest of the Titans front office moved up to the 34th pick to land Justin Hunter and it's easy to see why. At 6'4" and 200 pounds the best Tennessee Volunteer receiver in 2012 (take that, CP!) provides an easy target for any quarterback to hit. He's more than just big and tall though, as his speed will give cornerbacks trouble as they decide to press or play off. What struck me as I watched Hunter is that a lot of the routes and plays aren't extremely difficult to execute. It's the threat of the big play that forces corners off him and this creates a lot of ea...

&& The Titans really added some pieces over the weekend that can compete for a starting job, so I think it is a good idea to lay out who I think will go into the season with starting jobs. QB: Jake Locker, Ryan Fitzpatrick RB: Chris Johnson, Shonn Greene WR1: Kenny Britt, Damian Williams LT: Michael Roos, Mike Otto LG: Andy Levitre, Fernando Velasco C: Brian Schwenke, Fernando Velasco RG: Chance Warmack, Fernando Velasco RT: David Stewart, Mike Otto TE: Delanie Walker, Craig Stevens WR Slot: Kendall Wright, Kevin Walter WR2: Justin Hunter, Nate Washington...

Over the past decade, The Tennessee Titans have had a pretty brutal history when it comes to top 10 picks. Since taking Steve McNair with the 3rd pick in 1995, we've landed Vince Young (bust), Pacman Jones (bum) and Jake Locker (love the kid, but still unproven as a 16-game starter). However, this year, they finally hit upon a formula that appears both productive, and safe. Our offense has more talent than most: Jake Locker can make plays as he learns his way Chris Johnson can blow a drive wide open on any given play when he's right Britt is a troubled beast, Washington is as reliab...

The 2013 NFL season feels like it's drawing closer with the official release of the Tennessee Titans schedule. TiqIQ gears up for the New Year by taking a close look at Tennessee Titans tickets and their top-priced games as well as their best value games. The Titans were just 6-10 a year ago, but considering they endured injuries to young quarterback Jake Locker and a rough start for running back Chris Johnson, it's arguable that they did a lot better than they should have. A lot of people still question whether or not Locker is actually the answer, but he was basically still a rooki...

Another abbreviated Nuggets. Sorry for that, but there's not much to discuss. Draft is coming and you'll all be overwhelmed in less than a week. So, enjoy the calm before the storm. As we all know, Delanie Walker took the money and ran to Tennessee, where he'll be the preferred target of, get this, Jake Locker. Good luck, Droptimus Prime. We need a No. 2 tight end as Walker saw the field on over 50% of the offensive snaps. Who might we draft? A lot of locals want us to get Stanford's Zach Ertz. BASG presents a different scenario. | 49ers host potential replacement for Delanie Walker (n...

Tennessee has the pieces on offense to put up 27 points a game in the right system, but the constant confusion and options in the Chris Palmer system clearly did not work out. These three steps could help simplify and strengthen the offense. 1. Move Jake Locker outside of the pocket. As a Titans fan I am optimistic about Jake Locker as a QB, but I think there are a few things that he has proven to this point. He has top-end arm strength and speed, but he struggles to read defenses pre-snap and he doesn't trust his offensive line. The way to use all of those things to Tennessee's advant...

Kam Wimbley talked to NFL Network about the state of the Titans. He covers Jake Locker, Shonn Greene, Gregg Williams, and a variety of other things. Paul Kuharsky looks at the Titans needs and reassesses them based on FA. He ranks cornerback as one of the top priorities. I can't say I disagree, getting a guy to start outside and be able to slide Verner back in would be huge, and if you can't get that, depth is huge. NFL.com has an unusual do over draft where the draft seems like it would happen nowadays. It has the Titans picking Unger, the C from Seattle so we could move Velasco ...
