Friday Morning Tennessee Titans Linkage

by Jimmy on Dec 14, 2007 8:29 AM CST in Tennessee Titans News

Terry McCormick looks at the Kansas City Chiefs as a dangerous team. Jeff Fisher better get the guys ready for this games because the Chiefs have nothing to lose. The Titans could very easily lose this game if they overlook the Chiefs.

Albert Haynesworth was the only Titan to lead his position in fan voting for the Pro Bowl. Congratulations to Albert. He deserves that.

LenDale White wished Norm Chow well if he wants to take the job at UCLA, but he won't cheer for the Bruins:

I love Coach Chow a lot, but I am a Trojan,'' White said. "I hope he stays here. The only sideline I want to see him on is the Titans sideline. Whatever happens, happens, but I would never cheer (for UCLA).''

The Titans held 7 players out of practice yesterday: Haynesworth (hamstring), White (knee), receiver Brandon Jones (groin), returner Chris Barclay (toe), cornerback Eric King (hamstring), guard Eugene Amano (knee) and linebacker David Thornton (knee). I think most of these guys have a good chance of playing Sunday.

Jim Wyatt looks at the crapshoot that is taking a wide receiver in the first round of the draft. The Titans will face Dwayne Bowe this weekend who has had the most success of any of the receivers from last year's 1st round. I understand that it is a crapshoot, but the Titans cannot afford to not get a playmaker in this year's draft. Sometimes you have to roll the dice....

NO WAY!

I'm sold on getting a Free Agent WR this off-season. I think we take a DT in the first round this year even if we re-sign Albert.

They were even talking last night that Denver might cut Walker because of his production/Salary. He has already said he won't take a pay cut. So we could potentially add Walker to the Free Agent list.

Walker who still....

....hasn't been the same since that knee injury. We don't need another receiver with knee issues.

WHAT?

The Same?

He hurt his knee in 2005. packers didn't want to pay him so he went to the Broncos. which he played 16 games had 69 Rec, 1,084 yards and 8 TD's.

What do you mean hasn't been the same?

Even this year before sprianing his knee he had games of. 9 rec 119 yards, 8 Rec 101 yards and in game 3 he hurt himself.

Broncos didn't rush him back into action because of Marshalls emergence.

Even last night he had 2 rec for 20 yards.

this guy can still play and if the Broncos release him I think we should sign him.

But this is just my opinion

OK....

....I should have said that knee has continued to give him trouble.

A agree!

This team HAS to take a chance somewhere on offense, and to me, that's at one of the skill positions (ie: RB, TE, WR). Honestly, the right mix might be DT at 1, TE at 2, and WR in the Gauge mold in FA. Looking in my crystal ball, I'd bank on another RB at 3 or 4.

Regardless, there is a serious need on the team for depth at D-Line and the spectre of O-Line age in the near future, so I'd like to see some kind of D-Lineman taken high and some other D-Lineman acquired via FA. Must have some depth at DT; we've seen what happens when Big Al has to take a breather.

agree

TE, DT, and WR seem to be the obvious top needs (personally I like defense, so I'd go with DT first). WRs are so tough to draft I'd rather get a really good one (not one bringing in any major injury issues or close to retirement) in FA if they can. Also if the Titans keep their longstanding identity of a possession team on offense, it seems like we'd logically try to have one of the best TEs in the league.

Do you think we'll keep Brown at RB? I'm sure we'll have Lendale at #1 RB next year, but I'm not sure about the 2/3 spots.
