Does Peter King actually watch the games?

This is what King said when he picked the Titans to win this week:

"Here's a strange one for you: Tennessee is 11-0 against NFC teams in the past 24 months. I say it gets to 12, narrowly, even if Vince Young has to give way to Kerry Collins. In fact, after watching the Monday-nighter, that might be better for Tennessee."

Music City Miracles Jeff Fisher quit on the team against the Pats

I don't care about the Jersey Joke.  In of itself, I'm not mad.  But on top of being a crappy coach who makes bad personnel decision and bad game decisions and really doesn't even appear to want to win and quitting on the team last Sunday, it pisses me off.  Greatly.  This season is one big ball of pissed off.  Jeff Fisher, you quit on the team, made piss poor decisions, and most of all ruined an entire football season for me.

Jeff, and know this.  You are dead in the water.  Done.  Toast.  After 14-some years, you can't keep out-running bad decisions.  And you can't keep winning without being willing to change and sometimes significantly.

I respect Bud Adams position to not fire you mid-season, but I think it is the wrong decision.  And I'm sure he will at the end of the season. 

No Owner in his right mind can keep a coach after giving no effort in a game.  After quitting on the team in route to a 59-0 embarrassment on national TV.  Below the fold I'm going to lay into Jeff Fisher.  He and only him, is to blame for this mess.  Rant on

Music City Miracles What happens if we are 1-5 going into the bye week?

Being the eternal skeptic I am.....I am not feeling good about our current record and season outlook.  Gone are the days of being the best team in the NFL.

And the schedule ahead looks brutal.

What happens if we are 1-5 going into the bye week?  With our only win coming against the division-bottom-feeding Jags?  Time to panic?  Switch QB's?  Fire someone?

Music City Miracles Open Letter to Vince Young

Vince....

Unless you are completely clueless, never watch TV, never read the paper, never read the internet, and only talk to your Mom, I have some bad news for you.

Everybody hates you and think you are not a good NFL quarterback.  They do.  Seriously.  Not only does everyone now believe you are 90% down the road to bust-ville, everybody thinks you will be unemployed by next February (at the latest).  In fact, many think you won't even be the backup QB this year. There isn't a single NFL fan outside of Tennessee or Texas that thinks you are any good at football and likes you.  Probably 75%, maybe more, of Titan fans hate you and think you suck.  Luckily, you have a small contingent of fans left in Texas that still like you.  But you need to forget about them as soon as possible.  Never talk to them again.  That is your first piece of advice.  More to follow below the fold.

Music City Miracles Roos = NFL MVP

I'll make this short and sweet.

Roos is the best Tackle in football.  He is the most valuable player on the best team in football.

He has stonewalled every great pass rushing team from the Vikes to the Clots to the Texans to the Ravens to the Steelers.  The Titans lead the league in fewest sacks allowed thanks to Roos.  No way we are 13-2 if Collins hits his backside more often.

Plain and simple.  Roos should be the MVP of the NFL this year.

Music City Miracles Steelers Terrible Towel = American Flag???????

Bullucktt_medium
I'm reading steeler blogs and message boards....and I'm amazed at the amount of uproar over White and others stomping on the yellow kitchen towel.

I'm watching ESPN and Tom Jackson and Trent Dilfer is flipping out about it.

I'm reading SI and Don Banks is beside himself that the Titans would do that.

I can understand some Steeler fans being pissed at that....understandable....

But I think the reaction to this is way overblown....it isn't like the yellow kitchen towel is the American flag or anything.....

The steeler fans were not even in their own stadium......do they not think waving that yellow kitchen towel wasn't disrespectful.  I went to Reliant stadium last week and although I yelled and cheered for the titans, I can understand the texan fans being mad at me....

I just don't get why so called impartial pundits are thinking this was such a big deal.....

And for a really good laugh, you need to go to certain steeler message boards.....I litterally read people saying stomping on the towell was worse than pissing on the picture of the pope...

hahahahahahahahahahahaaha

it's just a freaking yellow kitchen or bar towel.....get over it....

Music City Miracles Predicting the Future...The Start of One of the Biggest Collapses of a 12-1 Team Ever

I went to the Titans-Texans game and I think I saw the start of one of the biggest late season collapses ever of a 12-1 team.

Losing to the Texans....Losing Haynesworth....

And I now think we lose to the Steelers, then lose to the Colts and limp our way into the 2nd round of the playoffs, where we lose to either the Colts, Steelers or Ravens.

It will be one of the biggest collapes ever....from 12-1 to losing 4 in a row...

I have no confidence in Collins...teams are stacking the box and our pathetic group of WR's can't beat single coverage.  Against the Texans we were mostly throwing deep in order to get a flag thrown, not actually trying to make a completion.

The coaching staff is making bonehead decisions....plays are predictable and bland....run plays are taking too long to develop....pass plays might be the most low percentage pass plays in the league...

our defense is playing decent, but without AH and KVB, we are nothing...without AH we have no chance to stop the run....

Finnegan is playing his heart out, but his personal foul penalties are killing us.....

And teams can pick on Harper if they want....I thought the Texans were stupid for not continuing to throw at Harper....

We are all going to complain about going for it on 4th and 3 and not QB sneaking it on 4th and inches against the Texans...and with good measure....

those 2 calls are the start of what might be one of the biggest collapses by a 12-1 team ever....

if one good thing will come out of losing our next 3, it will be that maybe Schwartz doesn't get a head coaching job...

Music City Miracles Kerry Collins has been no better than Vince Young

56.6% Completion Percentage.

2 Passing TD's in 4 games.

Only 6.95 yards per attempt.

Thank god we got Vince Young out of there.

Every media outlet, local and national, repeat the same theme.

Kerry Collins is showing how much better he is than Vince Young right now.

And it isn't true.

If Vince Young had the same completion percentage as Kerry Collins right now, he'd be getting killed.  In fact, last year Vince was over 62% and got killed for it.  Collins is at 56% and is getting praised for it.

If, no when, Vince Young was over throwing WR's on deep passes last year, he got killed for it.  This year, Kerry Collins is over throwing virtually every long pass he has thrown.  And he is getting praised for it.

If the Titans had only 2 passing TD's in 4 games under Vince Young, he'd be getting killed for it.  In fact, last year that was all we averaged and Vince got killed for it.  This year,  Collins is getting praised for only 2 TD's in 4 games.

Listen, we can't have an unstable, emotional QB.  And if that was what Vince would be this year, he shouldn't be in there and I support that decision to keep him on the bench. 

But let's not confuse the stats and the production.  The defense is carrying this team.  The running game is carrying this offense.  The offense is bad in the 2nd half this year.

Praising Collins is ridiculous.  The passing game has been just as bad as before.  The only difference is that the INT's are down slightly.  The completion percentage is horrible and is worse than Vince last year.  How can Vince's completion percentage last year be such a red flag but a completion percentage lower than that be great?

Music City Miracles Tension in the Air over Titans QB Position

Is everyone ready for a constant soap opera regarding the Titans QB position?

The tension started last year as Vince had some unsightful moments at QB.  The tension surrounding Vince was alive despite the Titans making the playoffs.

The tension was muddied with the fact that the WR is pathetic.  Even the most adamant Vince haters admit the WR's are pathetic.

The tension surrounding Vince is also accelerated due to not looking like a typical QB.  He isn't white.  He is athletic.  He isn't afraid to run and in the past has excelled at running.  He reportedly did poorly on the Combine Intelligence test, which stoked the flames for thos saying he was stupid.  Most NFL observers expected him to suck his rookie year and refused to acknowledge he played well.  This is perfectly seen in Meril Hoge.

And now the opening game WIN has served to throw a gallon of gasoline on the Vince-Media-Fans-Titans-QB tensions.

Reports are that Vince is out 2-4 weeks with a torn MCL.

But what will be talked about even more will be the series of events that led to the injury.

After Finnegan made a great INT on a crucial 3rd down, Vince immediately threw an INT on a flare pass to the RB.  The throw was too low.  And the DE made a great play.

Coming off the field, it was apparent, Vince was beating himself up.

The cameras showed him on the bench with his head in his hands and Dinger next to him.  After a quick 3 and out, Vince was late getting on the field and Collins was warming up.

Fisher says it was because of Vince's hammy being tight.

The media says it was because Vince quit.

I've heard this story from those at the game.

On the sideline, Dinger was mad at Vince and told him he "would be Collins in".  Vince yelled back "go ahead" and then took off his helmet.  Fisher then intervened and got Vince back on the field, which 4 plays later saw him hurt his knee.

Some of the quotes from the players were interesting.  For instance, Bullock said something like "no one will quit on this side of the ball." Hall also said he doesn't know what is going on with Vince.  Scaife said Vince would never quit.

Either way, the tension surrounding Vince just went up 100 fold.

Clearly, the local and national media WANT there to be tension around Vince.  Just wait and see how much media attention this story will get.

The fans want there to be tension, as they booed Vince after the 2nd INT and will no doubt flood messageboards, blogs and sports talk radio with criticism of him.  And it will clash with those that defend him, thus raising the tension.

The players probably don't want tension, but will be hard pressed not to stoke it when pressed with multiple questions a day from the media about it (Fisher was asked 5 times in a row about the sideline incident).

Vince does not do enough to curb the tension.  He gets defensive when the media grills him.  He sulks on the sidelines.  Most of all, he isn't improving his play at a fast enough rate.

I have and will keep defending Vince.  He's a product of the atmosphere that is created around him.  2 years of dealing with Chow (who tried to force a square peg through a round hole).  2 years of throwing to inadequate WR's that couldn't start for half of the D1 college football teams.  2 years of listening to a media that wants to see him fail and prove their opinions right. 

However, I just can't see this thing having a good ending right now. 

And if this Vince-related tension derails a season where we might have the #1 defense in the NFL at a time when the Chargers, Colts and Pats look beatable, me and every other fan is going to go crazy.

In the next few weeks, I'm guessing that the calls for Collins to be the full time starter will be muted by Collins playing terrible.  Doesn't anyone remember why Vince played his rookie season anyway?  It was b/c Collins was 0-4 and had the offense playing bad, really really really bad.  This year will be no different with Collins. 

But just b/c Collins plays bad doesn't mean the chorus of negative comments about Vince will cease.  In fact they will likely go up even further this season even if Collins plays bad.

This year, a great defense and run game are going to be overshadowed by tension surrounding Vince.  The media and fans alike will make sure of it.

Music City Miracles Finnegan - soon to be best Titan/Oiler CB ever - Gets Contract Extension

Today, the Titans were smart.

The extended Cortland Finnegan through 2011.

http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080815/SPORTS01/80815037/1027

This was a must do move, IMO.  I'm glad we used our cap space on extending our current group of core players.  Finnegan is clearly one of them.

He is going to become, IMO, the best CB ever to wear Ttian/Oiler jersey.  Teams will not want to throw his way this year.

The deal is "worth roughly $17 million over the next four seasons, and it includes roughly $8.5 million in guaranteed money. He’ll receive a $6 million signing bonus, and a $500,000 base salary for 2008." (via Tennessean)

The 7th round pick was set to make ~445K this year.

Last year, Finnegan played so well, that he led the team in money given to players that play better than their conrtracts.

Great Job Titans!

Now just go find a CB to play next to him that isn't named Reynaldo Hill or has multiple concussions.

Oh ya, next up (IMO).....extending Fuller.

Music City Miracles Discussing Areas of Strength/Weakness for Titans

I have no idea how this Diary (fanposts, whatever they are called now) will come out.

It is essentially a larger discussion of something I said in the preseason game thread.....and it isn't all inclusive....give me examples in the comments of what I missed or what you think I'm wrong about....

Areas/Players We are Strong In

--Haynesworth/KVB combo...right now I see them as our anchor on defense and I don't anticipate a single offensive line in the NFL that can neutralize them....we should all pray every night they stay healthy all season....our season rides on their health...

--Finnegan at CB....Finnegan is on pace (IMO) to be the best CB in Titans (hell, maybe Oiler) history.  He will not get thrown at very often this season.

--Griffin at S...Griff had an up and down rookie year, but I see him being a top defensive player this year..

--Bullock/Thornton....solid...nuff said...

--Running Game....even without the last preseason game, this was a known...LenDale is going to be consistent pounding the rock....and CJ just made it twice as good....

--OLine....solid, top to bottom....I was worried about the Guard position, but they seem to be fine....we couldn't ask for better line play, IMO....

--Fuller at Nickel Back....wow, he has turned into a solid nickel back...so good, that we need to lock him up long term right now while we have the cap space and no one can come in and offer him a starting CB role...

--Defensive Attitude....the number one thing that defines the Titans right now is a hard hitting, aggressive, mean as hell, defense.......the practice against the Rams was the perfect example of our defense....we get into fights....we hit hard...we are pissed off at the world....I was ready to kill Mr. Red Hat 2 years ago, but now he is looking golden.....

Major Injury Concerns

--Harper....can he stay on the field?  I think this concussion business is bad news....More on what happens when he doesn't below.

--Hope.....is he going to be the Hope of old, or will he play it safer and be just average?  I get the feeling he is one hit from being out all season....more on his backup in a bit.

--Haynesworth.....Gotta get those hammy's in shape, our season rides on them...

--LenDale.....he played all last season hurt, so we probably shouldn't be worried, but with his grind it out running style and out of shape body, there is a 0% chance he is healthy by Week 10.

--Mawea....he is just too old...

--Bironas/Hinrich....I just don't have a good feeling about them, but their backups we can sign are adequate, so whatever....

Areas From Last Year We Need to Improve, Which I Think Will Improve

--Explosiveness in the Running game....I love LenDale, but we lacked any explosion last year......CJ is here to save us from 25 straight 3-yard rushes.....thank goodness....what a draft pick....i'm in love....

--Play calling........last year Norm Chow almost single handedly killed our offense.....even if Dinger sucks, it will be better than Chow....

Areas From Last Year We Need to Improve, Which I Don't Think (or am Not Sure) We Will Improve

--Redzone offense......we have Crumpler, so it has to improve some, but I am just skeptical....I don't know what it is.....Is it Vince...is it LenDale....is it the play calling....is the fact that the field is shortened and our offense suffers for it....Redzone offense is the #1 priority right now, IMO....

--Kickoff return game.......I made no secrets about how bad we were last year at the return game....it absoluately killed our offense starting inside teh 20 all the time.....killed it....can Carr improve it?  I don't know, but I hope he can....if not, he should get cut and we go find someone who can...maybe just use CJ....

--Backup CB and S....if Reynadlo "throw it may way if you want a 1st Down" HIll has to play and/or Calvin "I have no idea how to take the right angle" Lowry have to start, our secondary is complete toast......our defense only works when everyone is solid...one weak link kills us...whether that is when AH is hurt, or when the MLB can't stuff the run....or when one CB is bad.....our defense is significantly worse when just one position is weak....right now Hill and Lowry are the two weak links....

--Along that same thought, can our defense survive without AH?  This is the million dollar question b/c he will not be playing all 16 games....we have to be able to find a way to stuff the run without him.....our season rides on it....

--WR's.....the two big things our WR's suck at is gaining separation one-on-one and also simply catching the ball......I have no confidence either aspect of their play will improve.....In Week 10, I guarantee we are still complaining about our WR's....

Vince Young

You might have noticed I did not mention Vince Young one time above.

That was on purpose.....First off, I am a Vince-apalogist...he can do no wrong in my eyes....hahahaha

Being more serious, here is my reason for not mentioning him....

As long as he is being asked (by either the fans, media, or coaching staff) to be a Montana/Brady/Manning type of pocket passer, he will fail in their eyes....

We drafted Vince to be a playmaker, unique, running, generational-QB.  We drafted Vince to do stuff no other QB has done before or can currently do.  We drafted Vince because he is hard to tackle in the open field.  We drafted Vince because he puts pressure on the defense with his ability to get a 1st down with his legs at any time.  We drafted Vince because he is a different animal when the bright lights and pressure are the brightest and he is backed into a corner. 

The media doesn't like how he gets defensive when questioned about his shortcomings.

The fans don't like his passing game.

I think they are both crazy.

His defensiveness is what makes him put teams on his shoulders and mount comebacks that seem impossible.

His inconsistent passing game is why he isn't a pocket passer.

Until we get an offensive coordinator that lets Vince loose, he will be questioned by the media/fans. 

Until we get an offensive coordinator that gets Vince on the edge (by design) as much as possible, he will not live up to his hype. 

Until we get Vince WR's who can beat a CB one-on-one (we currently have none), then teaching Vince to identify man-to-man coverage is useless exercise.

I'm not worried about Vince.  I'm worried about our fans going crazy when he doesn't throw for 75% and no INT's. I'm worried about the shelf life of each offensive coordinator who refuses to create an offense around Vince's unique talents instead of forcing Vince into their offensive system. I'm worried about not addressing the WR positions adequately and selling Vince's development of reading the coverage short.

Ok, I've written enough.....I've probably left off some stuff I wanted to say.....

Music City Miracles Go Tigers Go

Hey Everyone...

As many of you know, I live in Memphis.  In fact, I am a graduate student at the University of Memphis.

How about them Tigers?

They looked good this weekend, didn't they?  It is the best they've looked all year (the only regular season game nearly as good as the wins against Michigan State and Texas was the home win against Gonzaga in Feb)...

I'm not sure who you guys are cheering for, but unless you are an alumni from UNC, UCLA, or KU, I hope you are cheering for Memphis to bring the Championship Trophy home to Tennessee, which by the way proved to be THE BEST state for college basketball this year....more rambling and gloating in the extended copy....

Music City Miracles My Initial Case for Bringing Back Pacman Jones

Update [2008-1-8 9:3:46 by Jimmy]: This was originally posted by Zack in the diaries, but I figured I would put it here so everyone would see it and chime in. The season is over, so I am ok with us talking about this for a little bit. He is still a part of this organization. I will give my thoughts in the comments. (Make sure you click the read more link to see his whole argument)

First, I would like to start with what I feel was the best quote after our disappointing loss last night:

"When you go to the playoffs in a rebuilding year, that's actually a good thing.
--DannoE

I agree.  This was a rebuilding year, we went to the playoffs against the odds.  Then when nobody gave us a chance against the Chargers (not even within a 3 TD's of a chance), we played a heck of a game and had a shot to win it.  But we didn't and now we have to move on to next year.

For the next 9 months or so, this site will be devoted to the offseason.  And unfortunately, our offseason may again be dominated by #32.  Will we or won't we bring him back?  

Here I make my initial case for bringing him back.

Music City Miracles Best Titan WR breaks ankle?

I just heard that Roydell Williams injury was a broken ankle and he is having surgery today.  Not good.  No link yet, but check back in the comments or on the front page later today for confirmation.

This isn't good.  

First Scaife, now Roydell.  Looks like we will be having a duct-taped together group of WR's and TE's in the biggest game of the year.  

Will Mike Williams be activated?  How about Paul Williams?  Can Ealy show us more than he has?  Will Troupe step up?  lots of questions now...

Music City Miracles "we are trying to go to the playoffs"

"Right now over here with the Tennessee Titans, we are trying to go to the playoffs and we can't worry about all the other mess going on.''

Those were Vince's words.  

In the Tennessean, there is a story about Vince's reaction to McNabb's comments on black quarterbacks being more scrutinized.

http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070919/SPORTS01/70919085/1027

Essentially, Vince just brushes them off and disagrees with his assertion.  Probably no surprise there.

The best part of the article was the very end when  Vince mentions the only thing that is important this year...the playoff...go titans!

"Right now over here with the Tennessee Titans, we are trying to go to the playoffs and we can't worry about all the other mess going on.''

Music City Miracles 10 Questions....tell me what you think....MCM discussion time

We are now halfway done with preseason games and training camp is set to end this week too....

I thought I would ask some intriguing questions regarding the Titans this year and see what the Music City Miracles community has to say on each one...

Most of these questions are ones we have all been discussing everyday on here...I just thought I would make a diary to see our community sum up their mid-preseason thoughts on the Titans...

My main question is in bold, even though I elaborate after that with more statements and questions to help the discussion along.

1. What are your expectations for Vince this year?  It seems to me that how happy any Titan fan is with Vince this year will be determined by what your expectations for him are.  Certainly his outstanding rookie campaign has raised his expectations beyond most sophomore QB's.  But are those expectations too high?

2. At this point, are you confident with the White-Brown-Henry trio this year at RB?  Which of the 3 do you like the best?  Should we have brought Brown back?  Was letting Travis Henry go the right move?  Was picking Chris Henry in the 2nd round the sound move?  Should we be concerned about LenDale's injury and weight issues?  Will we ever see that bruising RB that played in the Rose Bowl show up in Titan Blue?  All in all, there are so many questions at the running back position, it is hard to stop asking questions regardign these 3 guys...

3. Did we upgrade the WR position over the offseason?  It was no secret that upgrading the WR position was a must for the Titans this offseason.  MR and Fisher decided on letting Drew and Wade go and replace them with (at least) 3 rookies, 1 unproven young WR (gage) and one proven but old WR (moulds).  Did we accomplish the task of getting Vince better weapons in the passing game?  What is your view on the short-term vs long-term potential of our WR group?  Who is going emerge as the go-to WR?

4. Do you agree with moving (and keeping) Griffin at CB?  This seems to be one of the hot topics in Titan-land nowadays.  Griffin, Cortland and Harper all look like potential starters, but only 2 will start obviously.  However, we still have a gaping hole at FS with LT, Fuller, and Lowry battling for the starting spot alongside Hope.  

5. In your opinion, what is the strength of our O-Line?  Run blocking or pass blocking?  By most accounts we have a solid O-Line that will only be getting better in the coming years.  For me, the growth and potential of our offensive line is the most exciting aspect behind Vince as it relates to future success for the Titans.

6. How much will losing Pacman hurt the Titans in the return game (and field position) and how will it affect our record?  Can anyone on our roster come close to duplicating Pac's return game success?  How much of his success was because of his skills and how much was related to good blocking and scheming?

7. What player or a storyline will come out of virtually nowhere and grab major attention in Titan-land?  Last year I think we had more than a couple storylines that were not predicted.  With Vince's 4th quarter success and our unprobable 7 game winning streak taking the cake.  What will it be this year?  Heck, it might not even be positive (see question #10).  Either way, I think someone or something will come out of nowhere and surprise us.  What will it be?  I bet White will say an Odom Pro-bowl...haha...

8. Can we sweep the Colts this year?  Maybe it isn't the right mindset, but I feel the 2 colts games each year are more important than any of the other 14 games.  Splitting the series last year was great and I felt like we should have won both?  Will we this year?  How much does having so many ex-Colts on defense help our chances?  Personally I feel that Schwartz is at his best calling a game against the Colts.  Will the Colts games be shootouts or defensive struggles?

9. What do you think of Norm Chow's offense?  Does it suit Vince?  Do you anticipate seeing stuff we've never seen before this year?  Which sets do you like the best?  Should we keep Vince in shotgun more?  Any other general comments about our offensive sets and typical plays?

10. How worried (if any) are you about Fisher getting a contract extension this year?

Update [2007-8-22 11:51:18 by Jimmy]: This was submitted by Zack yesterday. I have added to the front page so everyone can see it and take part.
