Sure, I'm a homer, but I think the Titans made out like a bandit here.
There was only one question mark about LaGarrette, and it isn't his game -- just whether he's going to get over the crazies and keep his head on straight. He was very repentent after his suspension, and went well above and beyond to try and fix his mistake. This tells me there's a good chance he'll mind his Ps and Qs.
There's also a chance he won't... so there's
that.
But if Blount shows up with his head on straight (in his defense, his life was pretty fucked through no fault of his own when he had his meltdown, although that's certainly no excuse)...
Watch the fuck out.
Big time power runner who's extremely fast for a power runner, and has a truckload of moves to go with it, and very good ability to break tackles and drag defenders behind him. Remember, we're talking about a dude who had over 1000 yards and set an Oregon record for TDs in a season... while serving as the backup/3rd down back.
If they get him dialed in and focused, Tenn just scored superbigtime on the deal. 250 pound bruisers with breakaway speed don't come along that often. Sure, it's a gamble, but if it pays off, the risk/reward was remarkable.
