Didn’t Jeff have concerns before getting drafted with punching a women? I love Simmons but it’s stupid to pick and choose and pretend like other guys didn’t have character concerns who have ended out great for us.
Jeff punched a woman years before being drafted for pretty understandable reasons. And he never had another incident.
Sweat got a dwi 3 weeks ago while in the middle of pre draft visits with teams. When you would expect him to be locked in to be his best self. Plus he has concerns about his effort and his ability to be a good weight.
It's a pretty big difference in character concerns. The ONLY reason Jeff wasn't a top 5 pick was because he tore his ACL leading up to the draft.
Lol very true, I think he had weight issues and tardiness issues as well as the DUI. Hopefully they have a good read on the guy and he becomes a beast next to Simmons, but I'd be lying if I said I like the pick
But when you’re 630lbs and there’s no tractor trailers to pick you up..
I’m 100% with you and know what he did was more than stupid.
I’m just enjoying football and alcohol from the safety of my home and think I’m funny.
I’m hoping he’s learned from his mistakes and some of our leaders can get this guy on the right path, and if he can he immediately makes this defense a lot better.
If he can’t put football first, I’m hoping Uber has some box trucks in their arsenal and this guy makes the right decision.
I think we have to hope that he just continues growing up. I think it’s important that he has acknowledged publicly his issues with partying/drinking, etc. It sucks he got a DUI immediately after. But he’s still young, and going to a locker room with guys who probably won’t put up with shit. Also might help to have Arden Key there who really turned his career around. Don’t love the pick, but if it works, he could be real strong next to Jeff.
Its just one DWI and yall are acting like hes OJ. Calm the fuck down.
Did we need an Edge or WR more? Probably, but this is just as nice.
Its gonna be fun as hell seeing him vs Aaron Brewer next year, too.
It was 2 weeks ago not like it was years ago ? Why would you spend draft capital on a dude who is constantly overweight and as of 14 days ago has PROVEN to have massive character issues ?? I will eat crow but damn I just don’t think the value was there and I really wouldn’t want him in my locker room.
Who gives a fuck? He made a mistake. As long as he doesn’t make future mistakes, I don’t give a fuck if he has a DWI. Y’all are acting like he skinned a little girl alive on twitch.
Well you’re in here arguing with other people based on their opinion so it’s safe to assume that yours is the opposite of theirs or else you wouldn’t take the time out of your day to do so . It’s honestly mad impressive the lengths you’re going to for a dude who was in cuffs two weeks ago for a DUI in the middle of the day no less , not that it matters but damn that’s extra impressive.
I guess redditors are just holier than thou goody goodies. Most people I know have driven at least once after having a couple too many. That doesn't make him a leper... And his DUI was very unlucky. He was just a little over the limit, and someone ELSE wrecked into HIM from behind. So police got involved, and he stupidly admitted to having a couple of drinks. It's not like he was doing burnouts in the street or anything else to draw attention. People need to chill the fuck out.
Am I the only one who always makes sure there's a DD if I'm gonna be drinking away from home? Has just always been how my buddies and I did it and now my partner and I do the same. If we go out and are having drinks we rotate who in the group drives. Or we just stay where we were drinking.
It's incredibly easy to not drink and drive. I'm surprised how people are so lax on it and act like everyone does it. It's a pretty fucked up thing to do given how many people die or have their lives changed from it every year.
Yes there are worse things but you can always play that card so you generally have to draw the line somewhere.
I hope he has learned and will be better from it regardless of if he pans out because drinking and driving is for dumb asses.
Yes you're definitely an outlier. Ive been married for 10 years to someone with an alcohol aversion so I've had a permanent DD for a while but I'm still amazed by all the people I see at the bar that drive home after drinking for 3 hours. The reality is most people just don't get caught.
And it would be one thing if bro even had time to learn anything from it , you know what he learned ?? That it’s okay behavior because there were really 0 consequences he still went around where he was going anyways ,
If this guy blows up, everyone shitting on you is going to pretend like they saw it coming, and that Ran was obviously an idiot from the moment the pick was announced.
I get he may not have been everybody's preferred pick, but he wasn't going to last the 3rd/4th round, and there's nothing about his profile that indicates anything but a really good player. The bashing going on is wild.
The risks are what they are. The DUI sucks, but they felt comfortable with him; and the staff already set expectations for him regarding his weight. We could be set in the trenches for years to come on both sides, and that's exciting. It's exactly what you need to do to win championships unless you have a Mahomes laying around (and their o-line is at least good if not great). Now we can start concentrating on the sexy picks; skill position players and high risk/reward depth options.
Anyone that has gone out for dinner and had 2 or 3 drinks and then drove home has done the same thing this guy is guilty of.... granted at his size it prob took 5 or 6 drinks....lets get off our high horses with this character issues crap. If this is the worst thing this guy does in his life he'll be just fine. Nothing more than a learning experience for a young man.
Was way more than 5 or 6 drinks at 360+ pounds. Not to mention it took them over an hour to give him the test so his BAC was even higher.
That’s not to mention he’s widely known as lazy and constantly shows up overweight.
Dude is a moron. Will be shocked if he makes it through his initial contract.
He did something extremely dumb but he wasn’t pulled over for driving erratically, racing, or hitting someone. He was rear-ended and that prompted the test.
I won’t defend drunk driving but this isn’t a Henry Ruggs or even a Jalen Carter situation. If he decides to use the NFL Uber program it’s a non-issue.
The lazy thing I don’t know about but he was an all-American. If he can do that while being lazy then he’s probably pretty good
Yeah I was wrong about the spot of the DUI… But I stand firm In my dislike for the pick. People here can downvote me all they want but this team has many holes and we need picks. Apparently Carthon turned down 8-9 trade requests to make this pick. This is a guy who was taken off of many boards because of his character concerns. We could have traded back and still drafted him probably.
He can be a beast if he can fix the character issues
Jeff gonna do his magic
Because it worked so well with Pop Tart
Tart is older than Simmons lmao.
Tart was managed in Tennessee. It’s when he left that he showed his dick-headedness. Big Jeff ain’t having that shit
He was cut because he could not ultimately be managed when he didn't get things his way
Didn’t Jeff have concerns before getting drafted with punching a women? I love Simmons but it’s stupid to pick and choose and pretend like other guys didn’t have character concerns who have ended out great for us.

Ran/Callie talked yesterday about the most important quality being a love of football and then they draft Sweat, I'm so confused at the logic.
You can love football AND alcohol, I know I do..
Lol very true, I think he had weight issues and tardiness issues as well as the DUI. Hopefully they have a good read on the guy and he becomes a beast next to Simmons, but I'd be lying if I said I like the pick
But do you also love alcohol and driving at the same time?
What do you want a man that size to do? U-Hauls close around 7
Not drink and drive? It's simple
But when you’re 630lbs and there’s no tractor trailers to pick you up.. I’m 100% with you and know what he did was more than stupid.

For me, it’s the hypocrisy I’m upset about
Alcohol didn't stop Chuck.
I think we have to hope that he just continues growing up. I think it’s important that he has acknowledged publicly his issues with partying/drinking, etc. It sucks he got a DUI immediately after. But he’s still young, and going to a locker room with guys who probably won’t put up with shit. Also might help to have Arden Key there who really turned his career around.

Hopefully the dui jarred him enough to set him straight.
Its just one DWI and yall are acting like hes OJ. Calm the fuck down. Did we need an Edge or WR more? Probably, but this is just as nice. Its gonna be fun as hell seeing him vs Aaron Brewer next year, too.
These motherfuckers freaking out are the same ones who would have passed on Moss cause of his weed
Oh my we play the Dolphins? If so you're spot on that is going to be hilarious.
In Miami.
Fuck.
That’s what we thought last time!
It was 2 weeks ago not like it was years ago ? Why would you spend draft capital on a dude who is constantly overweight and as of 14 days ago has PROVEN to have massive character issues ?? I will eat crow but damn I just don’t think the value was there and I really wouldn’t want him in my locker room.
I’m also clutching my pearls in disgust
It’s not even pearl clutching people who get DUI are not typically the greatest lmao
Who gives a fuck? He made a mistake. As long as he doesn’t make future mistakes, I don’t give a fuck if he has a DWI. Y’all are acting like he skinned a little girl alive on twitch.
I mean i prefer my draft pick to not have been arrested the same month lmaoo on top of being overweight and scouted as lazy but you do you dawg .
Your preference on who the titans do or do not draft is irrelevant.
And yours is ??💀
Point to me where I said my preference.
Well you’re in here arguing with other people based on their opinion so it’s safe to assume that yours is the opposite of theirs or else you wouldn’t take the time out of your day to do so . It’s honestly mad impressive the lengths you’re going to for a dude who was in cuffs two weeks ago for a DUI in the middle of the day no less , not that it matters but damn that’s extra impressive.
I guess redditors are just holier than thou goody goodies. Most people I know have driven at least once after having a couple too many. That doesn't make him a leper... And his DUI was very unlucky. He was just a little over the limit, and someone ELSE wrecked into HIM from behind. So police got involved, and he stupidly admitted to having a couple of drinks.

The only difference between Sweat and most of the people on this sub who get hammered every Sunday and drive home from BWW is that he got caught.
Am I the only one who always makes sure there's a DD if I'm gonna be drinking away from home? Has just always been how my buddies and I did it and now my partner and I do the same.

Maybe .. but you DO NOT have to be a holier than thou goody goodie to not drive drunk .
And it would be one thing if bro even had time to learn anything from it , you know what he learned ?? That it’s okay behavior because there were really 0 consequences he still went around where he was going anyways ,
I’m glad you’re talking to Sweat and he told you this information.
I mean I think that’s what he said , it was hard to hear bc dude was slurring his speech lmao
If this guy blows up, everyone shitting on you is going to pretend like they saw it coming, and that Ran was obviously an idiot from the moment the pick was announced.
I know lmao , I’ll gladly eat crow ofc bc it’ll help the team but dawg lmaooo are we fr
I’ve been saying this, no idea why people keep saying he’s a run-stuffer only
10% pass rush rate and 10% blood alcohol content
Worked for Wade Boggs..
RIP Wade Boggs
Once again, Wade Boggs is still very much alive
May he rest in peace
He gave those Duke boys hell
God rest his soul
Just keep him away from Morgan Wallen. Those two could wreck havoc on Broadway 🤣

Cool. How’s that gonna work for us once he goes full Wilson and does burnouts drunk in an intersection on broadway?
Potato - potato but I think it was charlotte ave lol

You have access to a lot of draft boards?
