Enough of Memory Lane, It's time for VICTORY LANE!

Hi, RTT

Im new to the site, I am usually spending all my time over at MusicCityMiracles the Titans blog. However after the game last night I just thought that I would come make a few comments over here, and who knows may even stick around.

Fulmer is a great man and WAS a great Coach. We all knew it was time though. I think the saddest thing I have ever seen was Ali fighting past his prime! I am glad Coach Fulmer had the class to go out the way he did. Now enough of paying tributes to the past lets talk Vol future!

On ESPN.com today it is reported that Lane Kiffin will be bringing his father Monte Kiffin over to UT as D coordinator. This man is a defensive master mind! He invented what is known as the Tampa 2 defense. Hamilton said he wanted to make a splash with this signing and so far it looks like a tidal wave. Even Peyton himself was a fan of signing Kiffin, and signed off on the offer as an advisor. (ESPN.COM)

I dont think that I have ever been this excited about the hiring of a new head coach. Not even Bruce Pearl. Kiffin is a Great recruiter and rumor has it that the #1 QB in the nation who previously had only visited USC and was said to have already made up his mind will pay UT a visit in December soley on the fact that Kiffin was named Coach.

Coach K is going to bring the BIG name recruits with him, and the #6 Defense in the land just got an evil genius to lead them. Next year is going to be fun no doubt. I hope that the Crimson Tide and the Bullpuppy fans are taking notice!!!!

This one is for Shake N Bake!

I know your informative post over at MCM is just for fun and you really dont think that you can actually win the division. So in light of your fun I thought that I would have some of my own. These shirts have already shipped to all Hibbett Sporting Goods stores in TN. And I will have one SUNDAY as long as the BROWNS take care of business! I guess you and all of my other frinds on StampedeBlue are the only people who honestly think you still have a shot. ( IF you will let me know your shirt size I will make sure you get one of these :) )

And now the real reason for this post. Just wanted to wish all of you Colts fans a very Happy Thanksgiving. I enjoy our rivalry and picking back and forth with you guys and gals. This is what makes the NFL so great. Thanks for being real fans.

Your Friend,

Vincanity ( Fan of the 2008 AFC SOUTH CHAMPION TENNESSEE TITANS )

AFC SOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP SHIRTS!!

These can be released as soon as Indy lays an egg against Cleveland this Sunday. Go Brownies! They can be bought on sunday at all Hibbett Sports in Tennessee. ( As long as Indy loses ) if not then we will wait until they drop one ( dont sweat it, it will happen ) I hate them as bad as anybody but I would rather play anybody in else in the playoffs than them. Not that I am scared but I will give them some credit. When they are on the same page they are a very good team.

Caught me off guard

Thought that you guys might find this interesting. I know over the last two seasons everyone has kind of freaked out about Vince and his TD passing numbers.

I was watching a video of the Miracle last night and at the beginning of the game it stated that McNair had thrown 12 Tds that year and 8 Ints. That is not far off of what VY has done. As a matter of fact, his rookie campaign he threw 12 TD's. Vince has higher INT #'s cause his decision making is not as good as Mac's was. Remember at this stage in Mac's Career he was a 5 year vet. (only throwing 12 Td's)

What I am getting at is this. Our offense is never going to put up 30 passing TD's. It is not how we are made. We are a run first team. However I do think that VY will take a LEAP forward this year and throw for about 19 TD's

Tell me what you think? How many passing TD's will VY have, and how do you feel with the comparrison to Mac?

Tennessee Titans Uniform Change

Vincanity — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 17:16:47 -0000

There is not a lot going on in the Sports world today, so I found this blog worthy. The Titans have apparently changed their Home Jerseys to the Light Blue's and the Navy Blues will now be the Alternates. The full article is on GoTitans.com.

I have no problem with this at all. The evidence to this is on the Titans pro shop web site. They now have the light blues listed as the home jerseys.

How do you feel about this? Good move or big mistake?

Travis Henry Cut!

Vincanity — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 17:53:57 -0000

Just read on NFL.com that Travis Henry has been cut from Denver and is now an unrestricted FA. Maybe it is just me, but I can not see the harm in going after him. I mean let's face it. We have Lendale who is coming off a minor knee injury, but with his bruising style chances are he will NOT be healthy all season.

You have Chris Henry that we are still unsure about. He could be ok, or he could be another Quinton Ganther.

Then you have CJ who has all the potential in the world, but "WHAT IF" he is a slow learner or even a bust?

Wouldnt it be nice to have Cheesehead back in two toned blue. He knows the offence, and has proven as long as he gets the rock he knows what to do with it.

I know he has issues, but if we can get him cheap he sounds like a great insurance policy to me.

Let me hear Titans Nation, what is your take?

Let's Hear Ya Titan's Fans!!

Ok, I can't handle the idleness anymore. I have got to do something to get a little activity on this site.

I want to hear your predictions. We have heard a lot of good news on our boy Vince, Lendale proves even more that he is a work horse and can carry the load. Kearse says he is an every down DE and Fowler says he is still the man even hurt.

I want to know what your starting lineup looks like for opening day, and as a bonus lets hear some predictions on VY, Lendale, and the WR's

I will start us off.

Make some noise Titans Fans, this site is what gets me through the LONG off season.

Opening Day

LT-Roos

LG-Scott

C-Mawae

RG-Amano

RT-Stewart

TE-Crumpler

WR1-Gage

WR2-Roydell

FB-Hall

RB-White

QB-VY

Vince-has his breakout year! Dinger works wonders, and VY is a playmaker. With that being said

VY- 3,250 YDS 22 TD's 9 INT's 700yds rushing 4TD's 13 Wins

Gage- 800yds 6TD's

Roydell- 700yds 5Td's

Crumpler-500yds 4 TD's

Scaife-400yds 3 TD's

Hawkins- 400 yds 2 TD's

Davis-a few yds and a TD

Elay- Nothing much Ydg wise but still pulls down a TD

Alright there are my educated guesses lets see yours.

Not to beat a dead horse..........But

Vincanity — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:17:43 -0000

I still think that we might just be OK with our reciever situation. I know some of you are going to bash me for this comment, but Dinger is known for making something out of nothing. With that in mind Gage and Roydell had a good year last year and have the potential to be great under Dingers offense. With that being said I am going to give a few predictions and want to hear the same from all of you.

Roydell will develop into our strech the field guy. (7 TD's and our 1st 1000 yd reciever since D. Mason.

Gage will have the same great year he did last year with 4 or 5 TDs and 700 yds or so.

Crumpler returns to form and grabs 800 yds and a handfull of TD's with a PRO BOWL!!

McCareins proves to be a reach and struggles.

Paul Williams actually plays a game this year.

B. Jones (I honestly am affraid to say. He could be good, or he could be the same old same old)

Hawkins plays in the slot from day one, and shows the same form he did at the senior bowl this year. Kid is a gamer.

Alright let the bashing begin, and somehere in the mist of it all I am sure Jimmy will chime in with a logical comment, and BeansCarter will make sure to try and kill any logic that was presented.

We did it again!

Vincanity — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 12:30:23 -0000

Early this morning I read that the titans have signed another person from our farm club/feeder program ( the colts ) Jake Scott signed a 4 year deal with the Titans. This is a nice addition and sould make the loss of Jacob Bell a little easier to swallow! Especially if Bengi stays around.

I think that all we are lacking is a good Proven # 1 WR and I will call this off season a TREMENDOUS success! I am excited about this up comming year. Jimmy I know its early but what do you think about throwing some predictions out there?

Troupe!

Vincanity — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 13:24:14 -0000

I talked with Troupe last night and he has signed a 2 year deal with the Bucs! I am sad to see him go. I think that he will do well there. We may live to regret this day!

I can't recall Tampa Bay ever really using the TE much, so whatever he does for them will be a plus!

Even though he struggled catching passes last year, he is a good reciever. Not much of a blocker but a pretty good reciever!
