Thanks for your support!
Yea. Good luck.Seth Wand is now a Titan. He is replacing Daniel Loper who suffered a ruptured spleen last week.
Good luck Wando.
Mike Munchak is the o-line coach there. I guess he liked what he saw Wand's workout. He's respected in the league as a coach as well as for his playing days.Good luck Seth. Maybe you will find some coaches that can take the time and develop you.
He has potential, just has not got to that point yet. I think if the coaches work with him he will be a good player. Good luck to him except 2 games a year. Mario owned him in practice from what I hear.Titan "Tack" Fan;493218 said:So, is this guy good?
He's better than he is given credit for here. He has been a convenient scapegoat. He was drafted as a project and received poor coaching.Titan "Tack" Fan;493218 said:So, is this guy good?
Damn!He is big - 6' 7" 320 lbs.
So you seem to think Munch is going to do for Wand what many think KubiakHe is big - 6' 7" 320 lbs. - and very quick and mobile; very athletic. He has all the physical skills necessary. With Munchak as his coach I think you may be pleasantly surprised.
I don't see why a change of scenery and fresh coaching might not do for Wand what it has done for many, many players in the league before: take a borderline career to a solid career.So you seem to think Munch is going to do for Wand what many think Kubiak
is now in the process of doing for Carr ?
Well Mike Sherman is known as a OLine expert himself, and I watched him and
Wand have a 20 minute one-on-one conversation in the middle of the practice field during a TC practice this past summer. IMO, Kubiak and Sherman gave him every opportunity including intensely communicating with
him on what it took for him to succeed in this league, but decided he didn't
have what it took.
And you mention his athleticism, well that's a job description for Kubiaks ZB
system so I don't think Wand was at a disadvantage in what Kubiak was running here.
I'm going to be surprised if Wand makes it as a long-term starter with any team in this league.
First off, I hope I'm wrong about Wand. Like him, I'm origionally from MO andI don't see why a change of scenery and fresh coaching might not do for Wand what it has done for many, many players in the league before: take a borderline career to a solid career.
I know Wand had a famous conversation with Sherman at the end of practice one time in camp. Do you know who initiated it? What it was about?
Conversations and training camp aside, what did you think of Wand's on-field performance during pre-season? He performed just as well as Spencer, but Kubiak went with Spencer's higher potential upside and Salaam's ability to play on both sides. That was certainly Kubiak's decision to make as head coach. I wonder if it was either an easy decision or unanimous among the coaches though. Since Wand was cut a day after everyone else, I think it was probably a tough decision.
That leads me to believe Seth wasn't a total bust, and conservatively might be an average player in the league. Even average left tackles are hard to come by. He could very well have a successful career; I don't think that is completely unimaginable.
I do think good coaching can make a difference. Is Munchak going to do for Wand what Kubiak is doing for Carr? No - that would take a franchise level signing bonus and another 1 1/2 years of development.
You've always been pretty much of a Wand supporter if I recall correctly - maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised too.
He was jobless nine weeks into the NFL season. You be the judge.So, is this guy good?
How many left tackles were picked up in that nine weeks?He was jobless nine weeks into the NFL season. You be the judge.
I dunno, but you'd think somewhere about here that Kubiak would finally toss Chester's name in the mix of possibilities at OT.the Texans are in trouble at tackle.
The biggest mistake the Capers' Crew ever made on the OLine, I think was shuffling Tackles to Center, guards to tackle, and Centers to guards....Who is Pitts' backup at LG anyway? I agree. We're in deep doodoo at LT and Pitts can surely handle it, if the dropoff at LG isn't just atrocious or anything.
