The Tennessean is reporting via Twitter that Vince Young left practice early today with a knee injury.  They say that Kerry Collins finished practice, but they do not say how serious the knee injury was.

I am sure there will be plenty more news about the injury this afternoon.  Stay tuned.

[UPDATE]- The Tennessean is reporting that this is the same knee that he injured in the game this past Sunday, good call by me, and that he as been trying to push through it.  Fisher said this after practice:

“He has been trying to push through practice and he just had a setback so we shut him down,’’ Fisher said. “We’ll tend to him inside and see how he is tomorrow.’’

That Tennessean article also includes this gem:

Asked if Collins would be ready in the event Young doesn’t feel better, Fisher joked: “He has been deer hunting every day. He doesn’t come to practice or meetings, so I don’t know.’’

With the decade coming to an end in a few weeks, we here at MCM decided it would be a good time to do a top 10 list or two- because who doesn't love a top 10 list?

Today we start with the top 10 draft picks of the decade.  Here is how this list was compiled- August, gramsey and I all came up with our own list.  They sent their lists to me, actually shared it with me via google docs (which are awesome), and I averaged the three lists together to come up with what I am posting here.  After the jump I have added a link that lists all of the picks the Titans made in the decade. 

So without further adieu I present the top 10 draft picks of the decade:

1. Cortland Finnegan, CB, Samford (2006, Round 7, pick #215 overall)

Obviously this pick came down to Finny and Chris Johnson, but when you look at the fact that the Titans were able to draft and franchise corner, or as gramsey puts it "The best corner to ever wear Titan blue, and that includes Samari Rolle," in the seventh round, Finnegan gets the nod.

Unfortunately this is a move that we have seen coming for about a week.  The Titans went ahead and made it official today by placing DT Jason Jones on injured reserve according to @titansradio. 

Jones has showed flashes of being really good when he has been out there, but he has been hampered by injuries in both of his seasons with the Titans.  He is supposed to have shoulder surgery today, so hopefully he will be ready to go when the OTAs start this spring.

The only bright spot here is that 2009 2nd round pick Sen'Derrick Marks should be able to get plenty of reps down the stretch.

The Rams lead the all-time series between these two teams 7-3.  The last meeting was back in 2005 with the Rams winning 31-27.  The last time the Rams came to Nashville was in 1999 in the game that I referenced in this post.  There was obviously a famous game between these two teams that none of us really want to talk about.

For the second time in two weeks the game will be on FOX because an NFC team is visiting Nashville.  The broadcast will be handled by Chris Rose and Trent Green.  Green is a pretty famous Ram considering it was his preseason injury that paved the way for Kurt Warner to be the starting quarterback in 1999.

Info from the NFL after the jump.

Explanation:

Each individual rush is considered on it's own, and measured by it's "success." A run is considered successful if it gets 40% of the yardage needed to move the chains on first down, 60% of the yardage needed on second down, and 100% of the yardage needed on third or fourth down. This is a much more accurate overall picture of how well a running back does in a game than just the total yardage or ypc averages because it ignores big run outliers that can skew those kinds of stats

The Titans should be banned from ever signing free agent wide receivers.  Here are the numbers on the biggest three they have signed since the franchise moved to Tennessee:

And this doesn't even address all of the failed draft picks before Kenny Britt came along..

The sad thing when you look at that is Nate Washington is going to easily have the best season of all (just think what his numbers would be if he could actually catch), but there is always some big if with the guys the Titans sign.

No real point to this post other than to depress you.
