Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Da Freak, Da Fullback And Da Bears Edition

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Paul Kuharsky talked to several Titans about their pending free agency and how the franchise is with extensions.  The comments were a little disturbing, but understandable (I think Cort, Roos, Stewart and a few others would disagree).  Don't expect anyone to let that distract them Sunday, however:

"The Titans organization isn't the quickest to go to the checkbook, so we'll have to see," Bulluck said. "We'll just play this season out and I'm sure a lot of things will happen this offseason. But we'll worry about the offseason when we get there. You know what we're worried about now, right? Da' Bears."

Tennessee_titans_30x21 John McClain raises an awesome point I hadn't heard yet:

The Titans also are the only team in the league that’s perfect, 26-of-26, in the red zone. It’s interesting that a team ranking 21st in offense, including 29th passing, has managed to score at least 30 points in half of its games.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Commenter UrbanDad drops off the kids long enough to point us towards this: The Football Outsiders gave-out their midseason awards, and the Titans dominated the list like it was the AFC South.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Dinger knows that whatever he needs, he can just dial up Crazy Legs' number; he'll take care of it and make sure it looks good too!

Tennessee_titans_30x21 None to happy about his $7,500 fine for a supposed horse collar tackle on Aaron Rodgers last week, Jevon Kearse is going to appeal it.  Also of note: Dave McGinnis is a candidate for the Kansas State head coaching position.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 With the mercury falling in Chicago and those winter winds whipping off of Lake Michigan, expect to see a healthy portion of Smash and Dash this weekend at Soldier Field.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 More reasons why Ahmard Hall is a pimp:

Titans fullback Ahmard Hall, who served in the Marine Corps in Afghanistan will make his annual visit to a local veterans hospital in honor of Veteran’s Day next Tuesday.

"I’m just going to the hospital. I’ve been every year since I’ve been here," Hall said. "I’m just going to show my gratitude to the veterans, young and old, that served the country and enable us to do what we do."

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Intrepid commenter and contributer BigW points out that last week's Titans-Packers game gets the epic NFL films treatment. I'd love to watch a game live with the guy who narrates these vignettes... make sure you catch Steve Waterson's reaction to the Bironas miss.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Bodoglife.com has the Titans' odds to make it to the Super Bowl at 5/1.  Keep in mind that these numbers are not for recreation or entertainment, and are intended to be used for gambling... sweet rent-losing, budget breaking gambling!

Tennessee_titans_30x21 The AOL Fanhouse gives their NFL midseason MVP to Big Albert, but they keep with the head stomping jokes... I don't think Albert will ever fully live that down.

There's a whole lot of internet out there, so if you have a 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.)

That Kearse fine is crap

especially because it wasn’t even a horse collar..

I hope McGinnis doesn’t leave because he is the leader in the clubhouse for defense coordinator if Schwatrzie gets a head coaching job.

Price of having a great season

The coaching staff gets ravaged. I think it is gonna be rough.

So many of those guys

fail in their new job and end up moving back to staff coaching jobs. If the Titans don’t with the whole enchilada this year, I’m hoping some of our staff decides to stick with the good thing and try again next year rather than taking a promotion at a problem team.

Kearse grabbed his jersey, I just watched it again

I didn’t know you could fine someone for that. He did not have Rodgers shoulders pads at all.

I am a humble fan, a great humble fan.

Horsecollar is inside the collar of the jersey or shoulder pads.

I haven’t seen it, but if he got inside the back of the jersey or shoulder pads and pulled him down—it was a horsecollar.

It didn’t look bad when they showed it on the screen at the stadium, though.

the horse collar rule

is supposed to protect people from getting pulled over backwards like TO’s broken ankle when philly went to the super bowl. rodgers was not pulled over backwards, and in fact fell forwards. bad call

Call them and ask

I am sure they are dying for an insurance agent reality show.

Re: John McClain article

That’s the difference between this team an last years. We never leave the red zone w/o points. It says a lot about the offense, and also Bironas. It can’t be overstated how important he is to this team.
