Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo is in his 10th season. He said he plays differently now than in the past Ryan Succop Jersey , with the change in rules having made it difficult for defensive players.These days, Orakpo isn’t always sure what’s a penalty and what’s not.鈥淵ou used to err on more aggressive, but the one time you err on more aggressive you get called, and it just ruins that possession and that is an automatic first down, tack another 15 and you not only put the team in a bind, you put the defense in a bind because now you have to play some more plays,鈥?Orakpo said, via Paul Kuharsky of paulkuharsky.com. “It鈥檚 just a tough scenario, man. The NFL is getting tougher and tougher to judge each and every year. I wonder how long this league is going to last, honestly.”The Titans were frustrated after Sunday’s game not because of calls that went against them but for flags not thrown against the Dolphins. They left questioning whether hits that injured quarterback Marcus Mariota and tackle Taylor Lewan were legal, though penalties were not called.Orakpo said defensive players are in a no-win situation.鈥淵ou hit a quarterback too low, I know you are trying to protect the legs Womens LeShaun Sims Jersey , but if you go too low they call a flag, tack on 15 yards, first down,” Orakpo said. “You hit a guy real high . . . tack on 15, first down. It鈥檚 just hard. It鈥檚 extremely hard. I totally understand what the refs are doing, the NFL, the bind they are in for player safety. I鈥檓 all for player safety. . . . It鈥檚 just a tough situation we鈥檙e in right now.鈥 Titans tight end Delanie Walker remained hopeful of returning to the field in November, but his recovery from the dislocated and fractured ankle that he suffered in the season opener did not make that possible.Walker has now shifted his view to this offseason’s organized team activities. Walker hopes to be running and catching footballs at that point and he plans to show that he can rebound from a serious injury after turning 35 years old this summer.“I don’t really remember how old I am,” Walker said, via Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. “They can judge me all they want. I already know people are going to say it’s going to be a struggle to come back off an injury like this. They doubted me before and look how far I got. I am just going to prove everybody wrong.”If Walker’s correct, it will be a big boost to the Titans offense. Walker led the team with 74 catches in 2017 and they didn’t get much from the tight end spot while missing the playoffs last season.
