Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Keep Your Eye On The Ball Edition

Congrats to our Titans, who finished no.1 in ESPN's final Power Rankings. Now time to move on, because we're all back to 0-0 records.

Even though our defense surrendered the defensive scoring title with Sunday's no-show in Indy, The Sporting News knows that you have to be impressed with what the defense accomplished this year despite Boom King being out for a big chunk of the year.

Yesterday's limited allotment of playoff tickets were gone in 3 minutes.

Paul Kuharsky evaluates the 2008 season of each AFC South team.

Teresa M. Walker goes in-depth on the 2 running back style that may be here to stay in the NFL.

PFW shines a little light on the chronically under-appreciated Ahmard Hall.

Bucky Brooks' final Awards Watch column ends with no Titans in the lead in any category, and Jeff Fisher isn't even on the radar. Something tells me Fish will get some votes even though he won't win.

Check out SI's Don Banks for the best coverage of the Shanahan firing.

Here's the 2009 draft order. I can definitely deal with us being in the 32 spot...

What a great season !

That says it all – so far anyway. This weekend’s matchup between the Colt and the Chargers leaves me with no one to root for. It is like trying to pick the lesser of two evils. I like Peyton Manning but I don’t like the COlts team. I really can’t stand Phillip Rivers and L.T but I don’t mind the Chargers as a whole.

As far as the VIkings go, I have to pull for them against the Eagles. My son is a big fan of Minnesota, so I hope it works out for them. They are going to have to earn the win against Philly.

Now down to the Titans game next weekend. Kerry has got to play well in order to get a win. He needs another Pittsburgh kind of performance. I hope he is in the groove from now on. The Titans have evolved him into more than a game manager QB. He has the ability and the confidence to play well. Gage and McCareins have to catch the ball. The drops are easy to forget now that we are first seed and everything looks great. These guys really need to step up and secure the pass. That is my biggest concern going into the playoffs. PLEASE CATCH THE BALL GUYS.

I agree about KC

I hope he can step up next week like he did against the Steelers, but in looking through the stats I noticed one interesting tidbit…

Chris Johnson is averaging 16.73 carries per game. Can you guess which two games he carried the ball the fewest amount of times? Jets – 10 carries Texans – 13 carries.

Give the man the ball!
