Tennessee Titans Thursday Camp Linkage

by Jimmy on Aug 21, 2008 6:00 AM CDT in Linkage

When camp breaks, the dizzy bat race involving the rookies is usually the most noteworthy item. Not this time, however. While all the other Titans rookies were being spun around and pelted with ice and Gatorade, injured rookies Lavelle Hawkins and Cary Williams got it 10 times worse. They were taped to a light pole by Keith Bulluck, Albert Haynesworth and Rob Bironas, then sprayed with mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, chocolate syrup and baby powder. On top of that, it then began to rain, drenching them in the mess.

Terry McCormick also mentions that Steve McNair paid a vist to practice. It is the first time Air McNair has been at the Titans facility since he was locked out before the 2006 season. McNair is still my all-time favorite Titan. I am glad to see that he has put that whole incident behind him.

Jim Wyatt tells those of us who want Anquan Boldin to dream on. I think all of us are aware that it won't happen, but it is nice to dream. I don't know why Wyatt feels the need to take that away from us. It would really be awesome if it did happen now since he came out with such a matter of fact statement.

Wyatt also has 5 things we know from camp, and 5 questions we still have. # 2 in 5 things we don't know is are the receivers up to the challenge? I think that should be in the 5 things we know because the answer is obviously no.

i'm glad steve mcnair

doesn’t hold grudges. i’m not so sure i wouldn’t be resentful the way he was treated by the organization. other than warren moon, he probably is the greatest player to ever grace the titan/oilers franchise. he was a warrior in the true sense of the word, and i hope his presence will have a positive influence on VY

I think

I think you guys are getting a tad bit ahead of yourselfs with the WR bashing! Yeah, we all know they aren’t Boldin, Owens, or Moss. I’m ok with that.. Because these days it seems that big play receivers come with big mouths!

Anyways Not since the RUN and shoot days have the Titans/oilers had outstanding WR’s. Mason is as close as it gets for us, But it took him a few years to develope. Plus he also had Frank and Eddie taking pressure off him. LW is ok, but let’s face it.. he isn’t George and Cumpler wasn’t here last year.

I like our guys, and will be watching Brandon Jones very close. I’m even willing to go as far as saying he will be starting by week 6.

I stand by the fact that Chow had no clue what to do on the pro level. He stunted the growth of Jones. with Johnson / LW keeping LB’s honest and cumpler being shawdowed by a Safety I can See Gage and Jones have very Good seasons!

Fantasy note: Take Gage for TD’s, Jones for Rec and yards

Welcome back!!

All I will say is that last year our boy white defended the defensive line all offseason long while we were bashing them. He ended up with the last laugh. I hope he is right again.

Brandon Jones

is absolutely terrible and has already proven that he CANNOT HANDLE A TOUGH GAME SITUATION

Please, for the love of god, keep Brandon away from the field!

i'm afraid

he’s probably gonna make the cut. unless they grab a wr from another team here in the next couple of weeks. i want to see mckierens, gage, roydell, ealy, and hawk, and the sixth would be nice if they brought somebody in from outside. i don’t want them to keep 7 receivers, cause i want them to keep 4 rbs ;-).
