Tim Lee

@TheZachLyons @FWordsPod @StoneyKeeley For non-QB positions, how do you weigh how bad the opposing player is when you evaluate a player? Like this year’s edge class seemed to have good tape but what if all of the OTs are just bad?

For tonight's @FWordsPod, it's time to read some mail. Drop your questions (#Titans or general curiousity) below and @StoneyKeeley and myself will try to get to them.

Congratulations Dr Tae Jun ‘Tim’ Lee for an amazing talk and successful defense of his thesis. The most newly minted DR from Apte Lab. Thank you ⁦@WUSTLdbbs⁩ ⁦@WUSTLmed⁩ ⁦@WustlDOVS⁩ and his thesis committee

@jt_ruhnke @HotReadPod Can y’all talk free agency first? Since that’s happening before the draft anyways and will influence who we draft

Which prospects would you like to see us talk about on the @HotReadPod? Drop em below to get this offseason rolling! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

New paper from @Aptelab is out! We discovered a novel target of AMP kinase called IMPDH in rod photoreceptors which is therapeutically targetable. Many thanks to @wustlDOVS @wustlDBBS @WUSTLmed for supporting my thesis work! insight.jci.org/articles/view/…

Congrats Tim for his latest ‘cool’ paper: insight.jci.org/articles/view/…, novel role of a specific isoform of the catalytic subunit of AMPK that regulates photoreceptor function through IMPDH ⁦@Certimlee⁩ ⁦@ApteLab⁩ ⁦@WustlDOVS⁩ ⁦@WUSTLdbbs⁩ ⁦@WUSTLmed⁩ ⁦

It’s a double publication day for @ApteLab! Congrats @Certimlee on publishing his thesis work on AMP kinase! insight.jci.org/articles/view/…

@eastonfreeze Do you think the firing had more to do with the staff Vrabel continues to keep around? Or is this just a stupid knee jerk reaction to losing a bunch

Not to move on too quickly, but Amy Adams Strunk and Ran Carthon need to bring in an innovative, forward-thinking coach to guide this team. Offensive coach would be ideal in general. But there are a few young, exciting defensive candidates this cycle that I’m intrigued by too.

@MikeHerndonNFL Any thoughts on this being a sign of wanting to change offensive philosophy and staffing or is this just a knee jerk reaction?

#Titans feel like a flailing franchise right now. Vrabel had his faults, but there is no question that he’s a good football coach. Odds of them finding a better one now are slim imo.

@eastonfreeze Why wouldn’t they at least explore trading him if they wanted to get rid of him? Inexplicable decision to outright fire him

Unbelievable. Pure insanity. A panic move by Amy Adams Strunk. Said there was no way they’d fire him because frankly I didn’t think they would possibly do something so foolish. Apparently I had too much belief in leadership not mess this up so badly. Unless there is a DRAMATIC story from behind the scenes we aren’t privy to, there is no way to paint this in a positive light. They’ve thrown away a wildly valuable asset, and for what?

In their first game since firing defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio, Commanders’ HC Ron Rivera is having interim DB coach Cristian Garcia - who at 29 is one of the youngest position coaches in the NFL - handle a larger role in game planning and on gameday. A big opportunity at a young age and a huge test vs Miami’s aerial attack.

@ApteLab @Chas_Pfeifer @ARVOinfo Congrats Chas!
