Question About The Titans? Ask MCM!

and Kerry is the back-up. By all accounts and appearances they get along very well, and Kerry has been a big help to Vince. Since week 7 of last year VY has had the starting spot by the throat, and he’s been playing great this year.

Not sure what you mean on the Henne part…

but the Titans defense tends to feast on QBs who can get flustered, and I know that’s been a knock on Henne.

The reports from media guys I trust say Moss was spectacular today in practice. This was his first full practice with the team since guys just returned from the bye week yesterday.

It remains to be seen how Moss’ acquisition effects CJ. I have to think it helps, but I also think that most teams will look at CJ as the proven threat, and keep the same game plan until we throw them out of it. Vince throws a beautiful deep ball, so that could happen pretty quickly.

Fisher is money at the moment. The fan base was getting really sick of him through the off-season, but they like what they’ve seen this year :he had an 82% approval rate last week, and it’s probably higher since they took a risk on Moss… being too conservative was the most common complaint.

it certainly won’t hurt. Heimerdinger won’t force anything, but he wants to take advantage of Moss and what he can still do. Kenny Britt was exploding onto the scene when he hurt his hamstring last week. Britt had similar skills, but brought a lot more variety in terms of where they could throw to him. Moss has really been asked to be a deep ball specialist over the past few years, but I expect him to be used in a lot of different spots as needed.

What makes many of us think this Randy Moss situation will work is that the Titans aren’t married to him. He knows that if he’s a problem, we cut him and we’re still almost certainly the best team in the division.

besides Moss

surprising disappointment: The offensive line/TE run blocking. it’s been a shadow of what it was last year, and the line looks to be missing Mawae and Crumpler sorely. Eugene Amano has struggled mightily to hold his own at times, but I think you could see a big improvement over the bye week. Mike Munchak is a great O-line coach, so I expect that they’ll get clicking soon.

Suprising success: rookie CB Alterraun Verner has made him self a key part of the secondary. Nick Harper was a complete dumpster fire last year, but Fisher was too stubborn to bench him. Jason McCourty won the job, but got hurt in week 2, enter Alterraun Verner (who MCM fans already loved because he’s been blogging for us through camp and the regular season), who has been spectacular. He’s making plays every week, and has come up with 2 INTs. The tremendous play of Jason Babin and Will Witherspoon are a close second and third.

As you most likely know, when cj is in the Defense puts 8 or 9 in the box because of his big play ability.
When he comes out they put maybe 6 or 7 in the box so its an evenly matched up between O and D.
so they say “Oh, Cj is out, so everyone spread back out.” Then Ringer explodes for a nice run."
Javon is a nice RB that is a very hard worker, we trust him so much we only have 2 HBs on our active roster.
and I wouldn’t say he is a starter just yet, but he is a valuable back up, and likes to hit the hole hard for a 2,3 yard gain.
Where as CJ would come out and look for a bigger hole on the backside of blocking.

Usually he gets maybe 5-15plays a game, and maybe about 3-7 carries (somewhere around that).
he is also a very good receiver out of the backfield, because teams don’t pay as much attention to him.

I wouldn’t say he has the best juke of a RB, but he eludes tacklers, somehow.
But, he can break tackles, and is a workhorse of a RB.
in college he was stronger than his O-Line.
Hard worker, Great Guy.
We Love him, and we should use him with Cj in a 2 back backfield in the passing game.
=]

the worst that can happen to knock Chad P out is let someone come in unblocked, like what happened to T. Romo. either that or when the pocket collapses to panick and run backwards into a DE.

2. We kinda do, i watched that game i said, what kinda game is this??
Mistakes everywhere. But, we will take as many chances on TDs as we can.

3. We don’t run many screens, and i mean about 2 0r 3.
our screens to cj are really just swing passes out of the backfield. Our screens are usually rushed and are messed up or only get about 3-8 yrds usually.
they’ll either be to the RB, TE, or Slot WR, with a small chance to the regular WRs.

And turnovers………..
7 turnovers and we lose by 8.
Cj had a 85 yrd TD called back by a bad holding call.
and pulling VY before he could get a chance to make some late game magic.
But like i said despite those 7 turnovers, and the Long CJ run, we only lost by 8.
All titans fans know that were are better than that.

Kerry Collins rant……………..:
And KC is slow (turtle), a slow starter…. if you start him he’ll throw 2 picks, but fiish with 3 tds.
put him in in the end and he’ll make mistakes and won’t ever warm up the right way.

…think of a Old car on a snowy -4 degree wind chill day, and 2 degrees is the high for the day. if you don’t warm it up about 20mins, it’ll perform bad

but he’s expected to practice today. I’m about 95% sure he starts on Sunday and is close to full-speed.

We discussed Bess briefly on MCM Radio last night…. I’m curious to see if the Titans put Verner or Vinny Fuller on him when they’re in the nickel. Fuller plays safety, but he’s been our NB for about three years now. He lost that spot to Verner when Jason McCourty came back so that now Verner and Finnegan start, and in nickel situations McCourty plays outside and Verner plays the 5th DB spot.

unless they just throw a few ones in just because they got fancy over the bye week, you won’t see us blitz more than 4 or 5 times all game. I think we can handle Marshall and Bess over the top, but our guys HAVE to tackle like they’re expected to on the short stuff.

really helps with replies….. still asleep.

they’ll move him around on bootlegs, etc., but he hasn’t been running like he used to very often this year.

the Titans are the highest scoring team in the NFL right now (10.1 points higher than the Dolphins… you’d never know it from the national commentators), and everyone making those predictions assumed VY would start tomorrow. Plus you guys have struggled at home and we’re coming off of a bye week, where Jeff Fisher is 7-3 coming out of the bye over the past decade.
