Shaun Phillips has been Cut

[Pessimist_cowboy]

He had some good numbers with Denver last season , he has experience playing OLB and DE . With j Crawford injury I think we should give him a look . He's good at getting to the QB!

 

[DuDa]

I would be interested in anything that can realistically help this pass rush along.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Wouldn't be a bad look. I think at this point there's no Reggie White or Demarcus Ware out there to fix this pass rush on the edge BUT if you can get another solid guy out there who can come in and join this rotation? Wouldn't be a terrible look. If you have plans on playing in Arizona next year these are the type of moves you have to look into.

Guess it doesn't hurt to look, but he's only got 2 sacks this year. Maybe he's an upgrade over Selvie on passing downs but I don't see him having any sort of an impact.

 

[Corso]

Why was he cut?

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

He had 10 sacks last year and 9.5 the year before . He wasn't used every down in Tennessee . But he might be motivated on a contender here . 3rd down rush specialist .

Why was he cut?

They want to take a look at younger guys , and his salary was high .

Thank you sir.
Then I agree with giving this guy a chance at The Main Room.

He wasn't rushing the passer every down with Tennessee. He was playing OLB.

 

[DC Cowboy]

can't hurt

 

[cowboys1981]

Worth a look. Shouldn't hurt.

Well he only has 19 tackles on the year so he wasn't doing much of that either lol

 

[AbeBeta]

I'd rather his snaps go to Lawrence. He'll need to see a good 300 or to develop.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

No, that's not a good number.

PFF has him as the 43rd out of 48 3-4 OLBers.

Last year he was strictly a 4-3 DE and was ranked 16th out of 52.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Why was he cut?

Not very good, anymore.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Why was he cut?

Because Whiz is tanking for a top pick to get a QB....................you don't sit a healthy Jake Locker and play a 6th round rookie if you are not tanking and you also don't release a guy that has had almost 20 sacks the last 2 seasons before this one if you are not tanking.

The Titans have 2 wins on the season and Whiz plans to keep it that way............my brother is a big Titans fan and he says the mood around Nashville is "suck for the duck"

 

[supercowboy8]

Why was he cut?

Because it's the titans. Why did they trade Akeem ayers and a 7th for a 6th. Look at how great Ayers is doing in NE right now.

Mickey spagnola says..... Oh heck what could it hurt

Exactly...........you only make a move like that if you are tanking.

 

[jblaze2004]

i would. Our passrush sucks
