Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death

Tennessee Titans Morning Links: The World Wide Leader In Accountability Edition

Tennessee_titans_30x21 There's only one NFL team still undefeated: our Tennessee Titans!  Just remember this moving forward as people come out of the woodworks to demean what our boys have accomplished: they only hate on you when you shinnin'!

Tennessee_titans_30x21 The Titans top the NFL in record, and in articles written decrying their WRs.  Expect this trend to pick-up now that we're on top. 

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Better late than never: the immensely respectable ESPN ombudsman Le Anne Schreiber dissects the WWL's coverage of the Vince Young 'freak-out' affair, and chides their highly paid gossipers for passing whispers off as news.  Mind you that this was a story which ESPN got killed on by the likes of Jay Glazer, Peter King and Adam Schefter.  If you are ever annoyed with ESPN's hilarious attempts at journalism, bookmark Mrs. Schreiber and make a point to read her regular reports.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Had there been a game last Sunday, Boom King and Tony Brown probably would have missed the start.  But there wasn't so they didn't, and it looks like they'll be ready to roll this week.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Jevon Kearse has stayed healthy and rested so far this year, and that's leading to a sharp increase in effectiveness over his disappointing time with the Eagles.  Next job for Jevon: come up with a better sack dance.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Paul Kuharsky notes that the Titans' leading receiver, TE Bo Scaife, was left off of the Pro Bowl ballot in favor of Alge Crumpler.  That's a little beat-up if you ask me, but then again so is the idea that anyone would cast a Pro Bowl ballot on the heels of week 6.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Chiefs fans so expect that the Titans will crush Brodie Croyle that 52% of them predicted in a recent poll that he will not finish the game... ever since the news of his start against us came out I'v been saying the Chiefs just don't want to risk losing a QB who may actually be capable of winning games this year.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Awesome-o reader jasonkylebates sends along a great find: when the New York Times decided to cover the 'Wildcat formation' that everyone is in love with now-a-days, they turned to Titans defensive czar Jim Schwartz for comment on why NFL defenders have struggled with it so far:

The traditional things you do — like an eight-man front — don’t work because now you have nine gaps if the quarterback is running the ball,” Jim Schwartz, the defensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans, said. “You almost have to make it a nine-man front.

On a side note, I don't think this formation is going away overnight because there are simply so many things that can happen out of that line-up. 

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Tons of good info in this Titans Team Report from Yahoo!... if we poop the bed against the Chiefs like the Broncos did I'm going to be a very unhappy camper.

 

There's a whole lot of internet out there, so if you have a great link you'd like to submit for tomorrow's Morning Links email me at mcmaugustwest@gmail.com! (Be sure to include your commenting handle so I can give you semi-anonymous credit.)

I fail to understand

why in heck they start pro-bowl voting so early. fans complain about it, sports media talking heads complain about it, players complain about it, i can’t see how it benefits anybody to start the process so early. probably the titans had to elect their ballot entry for TE around week 3 or 4.

They start early because the fan voting generates ad dollars.

long time eagles fan here

i just woul dlike to know how well Jevon is doing?

He wasn’t as bad as the media says he was here. the last year and a half he was just seen partying and not preparing for football in the off eason though.. Probably why he was benched most of last year.

We are glad to have him back.
