In the annals of Tennessee Titans history, former left tackle Andre Dillard will go down as one of the very worst free-agent signings the franchise has ever made.Dillard was signed to a three-year, $29 million deal last offseason to be the left tackle, but things went as badly as one could imagine. …

further, I hope this is a pre-draft head fake, falsely signaling a diminished desire to draft a top rated tackle

Go Packers!!!!

That's what they've done with Nijman, Walker and Caleb Jones. The difference with Dillard is the stink of his previous NFL performances vs GB snagging the other guys coming out of college.

With regards to the draft, I think this just means if they miss on a day 3 OT project they'll still have someone to work on.

Though I'd add, the amount doesn't matter until he makes the roster, as long as it is not guaranteed... though knowing the Packers, they probably have some work out bonus in there.

Dillard is at LT, some of these look like unforced errors, that the DL has to do very little, it more more Dillard screwing up.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!! Oh my....this is really awful..

As Dillard illustrates, I content that RAS is overrated. "Ready, set, go, the do a pre-assigned task" is not football. Ready-set-react then do something predicated on what has happened is a much better measure. The body cannot quickly when the brain reacts slowly.

Go Packers!!!!

Mark Murphy and Russ Ball need to take Gute to the Oval Office gentleman's club on main street in Green Bay for an intervention. Gute has very obviously blown a gasket, and he needs to be handed a suitcase of ones in order to evaluate the talent there for awhile. If he runs low, Mark can send Russ out to the bank to replenish the supply while continuing to try to talk some sense into the man.
I'm not an accountant, but I beleive the Packers could defend the expenditure as a tax deductable business expense with the IRS, though procuring a receipt in such an establishment could prove to be a bit awkward.

I was kind of hopeful they were thinking of him at guard, but his run blocking is apparently "piss poor" (to tie in a Zero2Cool thread). The following was from a Titan analyst at his signing with Tennessee...so the Pass Blocking and Technique strengths are no longer valid.

Strengths:

Athleticism: Dillard is a very athletic offensive tackle who moves well for his size. He has quick feet and can mirror defenders in pass protection.

Pass blocking: Dillard is a strong pass blocker who uses his quick feet and athleticism to protect the quarterback's blindside. He has good hand placement and can anchor against bull rushes from defenders.

Technique: Dillard has good technique and is fundamentally sound in his pass sets. He has quick hands and can punch defenders to disrupt their timing.

Weaknesses:

Run blocking: While Dillard is a strong pass blocker, he has struggled with run blocking in the NFL. He can struggle to generate movement at the point of attack and can get pushed back by stronger defenders.

Strength: Dillard has good athleticism and technique, but he can struggle with strength and power. He needs to get stronger in order to hold up against the stronger defenders in the NFL.

[*]Injuries: Dillard has been plagued by injuries during his time in the NFL, which has limited his playing time and development. He needs to stay healthy in order to reach his full potential.

In short...this signing is a real head scratcher.

Go Packers!!!!

I think folks are really over reacting to this signing. It's one of 90, not one of 53 on a 3 year guaranteed contract.

This is nothing more than a body. It's something the Packers have done routinely.
