Would this be good or bad for VY?

jmac1383 — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 07:12:24 -0000

So here's something I noticed. In trying to guess who the Titans might take in the Draft. I noticed that the Titans are using quite a bit of pre-draft visits to bring WR's. Which seems odd to me, knowing the Titans History. Plus all this talk about Holt and other WR's has got me wondering. Why has the Titans suddenly taken all this intrust in WR's? So that got me curious about something. We didn't seem that intrusted in them before,so could that be because VY was out Qb- but now Collins is? I'm wondering if maybe the Titans seemed to give up on passing and wanted to be focused 90% on running the ball. Now for a long time I didn't believe this, but now I'm wondering. Although, I always thought it should be the opposite, and we should have built up amazing Wr talent and let Vince try to make those- sometimes hard to catch balls catchable, instead of getting a few below average Wr's and relying on Vince's "playmaking" run ability. So maybe that's not what they are doing. Maybe they are:? What do you guys think? And what if we were to add, say, Holt, and maybe a 1st and/or 2nd round draft pick? Do you think it might help Vince's career as a Titan? Or do you think he's a lost cause?

MCM mock draft help?

jmac1383 — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 19:02:52 -0000

Hello, I'm from Tennessee's; Music City Miracles. We're doing a mock draft (like many other places). And I have the Raiders to select for. It seems like your needs are, either a WR like Crabtree or Maclin, or perhaps a DT like Raji. But I wanted to hear what you guys think? Also, what position needs would be priory, in case this goes into later rounds? Thanks for the help you guys.

QB from the draft.

So as of now, the only QB we have for sure is Vince Young. So lets say for some reason we don't sign Collins or Simms or any other Vet QB. Do you guys think there would be anyone worth taking at the 30th pick. This is more just a fun "what if" scenario, because I'm sure we'll sign somebody. I've seen that Pat White did pretty well at the combine, but I don't know anything about him. He might be pretty bad. What do you guys think?

Who do I think we'll pick

jmac1383 — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 04:32:46 -0000

Who do I think will pick in the draft? Now before I lend my opinion, I must assume a few things. Like if for some reason the Titans don't sign Collins or/and Simms then I believe a QB would be who the'll like to pick first round. But with that said, I don't think the Titans will pick a WR first. Every year people seem to be excited about which game-changing WR the Titans are going to pick, but they always wait till the 3rd or 4th rounds to get one. Why? I think The Titans don't seem to put the value in a WR out of the draft, they say it takes longer for a WR to learn the playbook, that say it does a DT, and a WR has to take longer to develop. Although, I think they'll want to look for an experience WR in the free-agency such as an another Mc Carrins-hopefully one that can catch.

So with that said, who do I think the Titans will pick? I think the Titans will need to pick a CB. First I always heard the Fisher was a defence-minded coach. Also, I think CB is our thinnest position at the depth. We have Finn., Harper, and King and that's it (in my opinion), Now as we seen this year, if something was to happen to, say Harper and King-who do we have? We used Carr, but we don't know if he'll be signed, and even if he is, the Titans don't seem to want to us him more than a returner. And forget Hill-he's over. So I think CB is the way we'll go.

Next,, if I could see us taking either a good catching TE or perhaps a DT. I'm going to assume that Hanesworth is gone. All he is talking about is money and I think money is what he's going to get-and I don't think the Titans are going to pay him more than what someone else is going to.

Now the Titans could go DT here. But with Jason Jones playing really well, we might take one later. I think that perhaps they might got with a TE here (if Scafe don't sign). I think they would think they can get more out of a TE over a WR early on.
Then I think the Titans would go with a WR here. I think the WR is really needed, but I would be surprised if a WR is taken higher. Or perhaps a DT here and a WR next.

After that I think we could use another WR at some point, a Safety or DB(or prehaps someone to fill Fuller's spot in the nickle), and I really think we'll take someone to to help on the OL. And I really think we'll take another Center. I wouldn't be surprised if we took an early Center. And a Linebacker should be taken at some point.

Either way, the Titans tend to draft players that make you go "WTF"? It's like whoever you think the Titans should get, the Titans go with someone you wouldn't think of, yet it's always a players who end up making a much bigger difference than you realize. So Go Titans.

Here's a few things to think about

jmac1383 — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 02:36:13 -0000

Okay, so here's some things I was thinking. So Since Schwartz is Lions new Head Coach, I was wondering if he might try to get Kerry Collins or especially Hanesworth to come up there? I mean, if he is able to, I could definitely see him going for them.

Also, in a side note. I really hope we make a strong push for T.J. Hush. He would make a great addition that even VY would make great use of. What do you guys think?

Why we lost

jmac1383 — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 07:12:28 -0000

Okay, so you can call me bitter if you want. I mean, why cry over spilt milk anyway? A game is a game, we lost so who wants to point fingers and point the blame anyway...I DO.

So you might disagree. But here is my top 10 reasons we lost the game, just something for fun to think about...

10. Wet field- Okay, so the wet field + physical play seems to leave everyone with injuries. So we had trouble, but they play on the same field so that don't matter too much.

9. Once Johnson was out, Gage became #1 in the game. And after a while, I imange he became heavly watched.

8. Does anyone else thing KVB maybe a bit rusty? I mean, I noticed a big difference in intensity after he hasn't been playing for a while. I mean perhaps it would been better if Ball was in a bit more? But I don't know, just speculating

.
7. White is too one dimensional. I mean, Smash needs Dash. Thunder needs Lighting. Even if you have VY in there the other team isn't just looking for the big guy to run through a small hole all the time. I mean at least give them someone else to look for. I really think they could have used Ganther a lot more once Johnson left.

6. The missed Field goal. I mean, it would have at least tied it up.

5. The WR problems. Okay, and what I mean by that is..Get rid of McCarrins. I was actually pretty glad to see him on the bench. And when Brandon Jones got in, things got a little bit better. But I had seen Paul Williams in there. Now who's idea was that? And I didn't see Hawkins or Davis even. I mean, we really need to pick up a WR in the free agency or something.

4. Harris Did a pretty good job, but I did notice a few botched snaps. I mean, that's a couple times that could have been game changers. Now if Mawae goes down, fine, but then use Amano as Center and put Harris as Guard. Amano is a much better Center than Harris.

3. Okay, so what if that bad delay of game call didn't mean anything...but what if it did? So here is a "what if" scenario...What if the titans defender paused for a minute thinking the play is going to get whistled dead, and suddenly it's not. That little bit of distraction could be the difference in a play.

2. Penalties. I-Nuff said.

and my number 1...No Johnson. I consider Johnson the savior of our team this year. I really think that despite everything else that happened, if Johnson was still in the game. It would have been won. Okay, maybe not. But I'll like to think so. Even things like getting closer for another field goal might have happend. Even with all the penalties and everything. The game is 100% different with him, I believe.

And that's it. Now some of those probably wouldn't have mattered and yes most of that is just ranting and raving. but I just wanted to get some things off my chest. And well, I guess that's it for this year.

prediction

jmac1383 — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 08:07:04 -0000

So who do you guys say will be in / win the super bowl?

My prediction...from 2007 was...Titans over COWBOYS in 2008! Yes, so why do I mention it again ( if only my old post could be brought up), Because long before the cowboys get in...IF they get in a win in the playoffs, I would like somebody to be like...Hey...that guy from Music City Miracles said this way before...that's weird...Now if I'm wrong then I just go down as making crazy predictions and no body cares. So I see it is having nothing to loose. Anyway, what do you guys think?

Help

jmac1383 — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 06:34:01 -0000

Hey, I am going to be comming back from PA Sunday (Wedding). I should be hitting West Virginia. or possibly Virginia. by game time. I was hoping to at least hear the game. But I don't believe I will have any access to anything like XM radio or wireless internet. I don't know if I am able to hear the game. But if there was a way, I didn't know if anybody could tell me, prehaps someone might know a West Virginia radio affiliate that I can listen to? Or prehaps if they had another Idea I would appreacheate it. Thank You.

so what?

jmac1383 — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 06:20:46 -0000

So Players have issues...So Vince may have pissed and moned. ..So what... and Albert stomped on a guy's head. Issues happen. And If Vince can play next week, and if he pulls up a big win (like say against NO in '07) then he's a hero. Or if Collins plays then this is forgotten for a while. Is Fisher lying about Vince? No one knows, and only a few will. But like Fisher said, Young has a lot of pride and isn't used to doing bad...Is that lame...yeah....SO? Every week if we won or not I hear on here (and other places) how bad we should dump Young and go with Collins and yatta yatta. People forget we got to the playoffs last year. And we find ways to win games with or without good stats. I believe that this will get straightened out. And I think this will perhaps teach them all, Especially Young, how to handle himself. Lets just hope things get better one way or another. And personally, I hope we don't have to fell like we need to replace him next year.

Training Camp

jmac1383 — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 21:31:51 -0000

Hey guys. I was wondering if anybody heard about training camp. I was going to try to go sometime this year but I don't really know anything about it. Like where to go and when and if cost anything. If someone could give me some more info. I would really appreciate it.

So if fill to 75 words. So I heard it is at Baptist St. Park (wherever what is?), but I don't think it's far from the stadium. And I think it's free, but I didn't know. And basically you come...starting around 10? Maybe, and later someome comes by and signs autographs. And I heard it was the 25? Anyone hear different. I guess they'll but info on the website before hand.
