Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Is He Tuff Enough To Replace Tuff In Practice? Edition
Jeff Fisher falls to 2nd place in the Coach of the Year rankings in this week's awards race list by Bucky Brooks. If Fish doesn't win COY after the performance he squeezed out of this team, despite the potential firestorm around VY earlier in the year, I'll be severely disappointed. Fisher is too good of a coach not to have one this award already in his career.
Jim Wyatt's 5 Things We Know segment this week makes a good point we Titans fans should consider when measuring expectations against the Browns: despite being terrible, the Browns haven't lost a game by more than 10 points since Week 3, so don't bank on a blowout or a pretty performance by our offense.
The Titans added former Miami (Fla.) star Tanard Davis to the practice squad to replace the elevated Tuff Harris.
Jimmy had it first, but t bears repeating: Vote for Crazy Legs in the current Rookie of the Week poll!
Here's a great breakdown of the Titans' playoff and first round bye scenarios.
Paul Kuharsky has an update on the fan voting for the Pro Bowl, including surprisingly good showings for Kerry Collins, Eugene Amano and Kevin Mawae.
Don Banks puts a familiar name near the top of this coaches-in-waiting list:
• Jim Schwartz -- After strong interviews last offseason in Washington, Miami and Atlanta, Schwartz is nearly assured of parlaying the success of Tennessee's defense into a No. 1 job this time around. He's smart, articulate, extremely well prepared, and his coaching pedigree includes having worked for both Bill Belichick and Jeff Fisher.
The Titans have slipped to 4th in Football Outsiders' DVOA rankings, and it's the rushing defense that's dragging us down.
The Red Zone analysis puts the Titans strength of schedule at 6th, while the Giants wallow in the middle of the pack. Remember that when the power rankings go up.
ESPN's DJ Gallo imagines who would make it to the Super Bowl under the idiotic college system for determining a championship game.

Lord I hope so... it's boring being in cruise control in late November
once again though, that’s a nice problem to have!
Where I was raised 2 + 2 = 3rd and 6.
We've actually had the
4th toughest schedule, since there is a 3-way tie for 4th.
And we get criticism for having had an easy schedule…
holy..
Thats pretty much what I wanted to say as well. What in the world. Perhaps being a little dramatic, but that certainly surprised me more than any news or facts I’ve heard about the Titans in awhile. Very cool.

I’ve taken several days when it’s been slow at work and voted for Kerry Collins up to around 50 times in a sitting. Someone needs to create a bot to do this for me! I’m not good enough at programming to do it or I would.
