Antwon Blake scheduled to meet Lions after visiting Patriots Tuesday

Posted by Josh Alper on March 15, 2016

Cornerback Antwon Blake did not turn in a very good season for a leaky Steelers pass defense in 2015, but that hasn’t stopped him from setting up a tour of teams that could sign him as a free agent.

Blake was in Nashville to meet with the Titans on Monday and will be in New England for a Tuesday visit with the Patriots. Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports that Blake will head to Detroit and a chat with the Lions from there, although that’s obviously contingent on Blake failing to land a contract with the Patriots.

Blake had never been a starter before last season and the teams showing interest may think that moving him back to a lesser role will result in better play when Blake does see the field in 2016. Titans General Manager Jon Robinson and Lions General Manager Bob Quinn used to work for the Patriots, so a shared view of Blake’s abilities across the three teams wouldn’t come as a tremendous surprise.

Neither the Patriots nor the Lions have made a move at corner this offseason. The Titans signed Brice McCain and saw Coty Sensabaugh sign with the Rams on Monday.

I think the salary is more important than performance for the comp pick.

In his first season in Miami, Wallace had not had 1,000 yards, but the Steelers had a 3rd round comp pick.

For Sanders, he had at least 1,400 yards with Denver in his first season and the Steelers have only had a 5th round comp pick.

That is a BS site that does not figure into attempts thrown at, or team success. The Chargers sucked last year, and Robinson was hardley ever attacked by opposing teams cause San Diego was 31st in run defense. And teams will always look to run if they can rather then pass, no matter how great their passing attack is ( That just a fact ) So yeah, with that Robinson's numbers according to Pro football focus would be good. But look at total Tackles and Picks...who had more there...Blake or Robinson ? That is what really counts. Cause as far as a shutdown Island type of DB...neither Blake or Robinson are very good. So in the end, they have to make their Hay on tackling ability and the occasional pick. And Robinson is a bad, Ultra soft tackler. And his Hands as a DB make Ike Taylor's look All-World.

lol, Blake was thrown at more than any CB in the league. And led the league in missed tackles (28) as a fucking CORNERBACK. It takes effort to be that bad

When you get thrown at 100000000000000000000x a game, you are bound to get more picks that someone that is not thrown at at all . . . that is simple logic. Blake's issue is all opposing QB's knew he no good and they intentionally targeted him, he was game planned for, meaning teams came in knowing they were going to throw his way. It was obvious in game. And what was worst is he screwed up a the completely worst times almost always. If we needed 1 stop to end a game, teams threw to Blake's side and it was almost always completed to continue the drive. Our Secondary was worse just because we had to over compensate to help him. Thank god he is gone and I would take a rookie to replace him anyday. Even if the Rookie plays worse I would be fine with it knowing there is at least a chance for him to improve!

Sorry but we will disagree. Robinson was thrown at 10000000000 times in New Orleans, and he was constantly burnt, and he still got no interceptions. Now I agree Blake is not that good. Which is why I would have loved to see us sign a good free agent CB. But we didn't. And I still think that Leaon Hall is a better and much more proven CB then Robinson is. But I agree, we need someone here.

look, it doesnt matter how much or how little youre targeted. if youre a starter like robinson was and you play well, you have been properly tested. He gave up 30 or more receiving yards ONCE all season. He's been up and down his whole career and most articles acknowledge that. But up and down is already an astronomical improvement from antwon blake

Who are any of us to question Dick (God) LeBeau? :noidea:


Tennessee defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau continues to rebuild the Titans defense with players he coached when he was with the Steelers. For the second consecutive day, the Titans signed one of the Steelers unrestricted free agents.

Antwon Blake, who started 16 games at cornerback for the Steelers last season, signed with the Titans today. He followed former Steelers linebacker Sean Spence, who signed with Tennessee on Wednesday. Last week, the Titans signed free agent cornerback Brice McCain, who played for the Steelers and LeBeau in 2014.
