The Facts: After being slowed during the offseason with a quad injury, Cobb is back in the pad-popping business. And there’s little doubt he knows what he’s in town to do – get physical. “I definitely think that is how I’m going to stay around, if I stay around,’’ Cobb said. “I know what I am here for, so the biggest thing for me right now is to continue to get stronger, continue to stay healthy, and just learn pass pro and different things about the offense. But I also have to continue to play fast and be physical.”
Diehards Line:According to TitansOnline.com's Jim Wyatt, Cobb, who ran for 2,885 yards in his final two college seasons at Minnesota, has looked sturdy in the past two practices with pads. While second-year back Bishop Sankey got a heavy workload in Monday night’s practice, Cobb was also active for the second straight day. HC Ken Whisenhunt said he’s been impressed with Cobb so far, noting one of Cobb’s strength’s is pass protection. Meanwhile, the quad injury kept him off the field during part of the offseason, but he’s healthy now, aside from a sprained finger and he's working to adjust to the speed of the NFL. “There is definitely a difference (in speed)," Cobb said. "The holes close quicker, the d-linemen are faster and a little bigger and stronger. Getting in the pads the first few days has been different, but fun.” Early reports indicate Sankey will be the lead back, but it's safe to say nothing is etched in stone here.
